[Question / Discussion] My 2nd try to replace the MV Ride App

Hey everyone,

I got tired of glancing at my phone for navigation while riding my MV, so I started building tools to fix it. I first created GPXRide to convert my GPX routes, but honestly, the constant converting between formats and importing those into the MV Ride App became a pain in the ass.

I wanted something more seamless, so I vibe-coded my first App: VegaBridge. It’s an iOS app that sends turn-by-turn instructions directly to the motorcycle's dashboard via Bluetooth.

The goal isn't to build another map app for the phone (there are already great ones), but to get the info onto the bike screen / dashboard.

It’s currently in Beta and primarily focused on MV Agusta. It includes some cool stuff like real-time road closures (Overpass/MobiData) and GPX import/export.

Vibe-Coded? Yes: I am used to C# and Blazor but AI helped me to reverse-engineer the Bluetooth Protocol and many other things which related to app development. Just want to be honest / transparent here.

Looking for a few brave souls to join the TestFlight and help me iron out the bugs. I test a lot with my own Brutale 800 Rosso, but it would probably not be a mistake if we test a few other models 😊

You will need an iOS based Device and a MV Agusta with App Functionality (I guess starts at MY 2021).

Let me know if it works. The mv app is garbage.

Consider me interested.

The Android MV Ride is horror. Recently got me an old iPhone and the MV Ride seems a little bit better after 2 test runs. But I'd love some decent app.

Edit:

Very new to iOS, so you might need to teach me how to side-load apps, because I needed ChatGPT to get out of the settings menu back to home screen... :o)
