Hello,

Can we use it to test it in Europe as well?

 

[Trail Runner Bowser]

Honestly cannot wait for this.

Hello,

Yes!

 

[Robert OB 33/48]

That is wonderful news, as I have two major things going on. One in France with hopefully lots of OB members and one in Germany with a lot of Jeep guys and girls.
And it would be super if we could work there and show what OB does.
And, again, another question.
Can it work on a tablet? Android 10.5 inch tablet.
I love to navigate with those. Easy reading, bigger screen means bigger map, better navigation.
So, I hope you say yes to this one as well.

This is most excellent news! Can't wait to start testing it out. Thank you for all the updates!

 

[RoarinRow]

Looking forward to testing as well...

Sweet! @Michael it is great to see that OB is focused on a quality app rather then a date. That makes the future of this community and platform more exciting.

I am really looking forward to being a part of the test group.

Hey Robert - it will, but the form factor will be mostly phone to start. Next year, when we start to introduce the navigation features we will include tablet and CarPlay options.

Thank you for the update! I was just thinking about this over the weekend and digging for the latest info but coming up with nothing new. Ready to give it a go!

 

[EricGagne]

I'm looking forward to trying it. Is the app localized or is there plans to make it localizable ( is that a word ?) ? I'd be happy to contribute and make a fr_CA translation that could also serve as a base for a fr_FR one.

I love that.
By the way, I have bought a special Android phone.
Getnord Lynx,
Ruggedized, waterproof, shockproof, dustproof, Military specs.
And a battery that last for at least 2.5 days.
So, Iam ready to roll.

Having it on Car Play would just be the icing on the cake!

Way cool! Cannot wait to see it and test the heck out of it!!

 

[Pixelsaurus]

I'm heading across the US from MD to Moab and then to CA in November and then back in December. I am looking forward to testing and while you're not getting to Nav until next year, let me know if this length of a trip helps with anything.

Great new @Michael we have been looking forward to the release of this application. We also look forward to being a part of helping the community with our feedback.... If there is anything else we can do feel free to ask.. Magic Mike

Looking forward to test-driving the Alpha version. The final expected functionality of the app is sounding very innovative and user-friendly. It will be nice to have most everything we need for OB and mapping all in one app. Had a great time at Rally Sierras and enjoyed hearing about how the app was coming along.

 

[dstock]

Great news! Looking forward to testing it out...

 

[Stomper4x4]

I'm super excited to get my hands on this! I see it making trips all the more fun!

Thanks for all the hard work guys!

 

[Wingman]

This is very exciting news. I can't wait to start testing.
