The New DMD2

The biggest update DMD2 has ever had — rebuilt around the HUB, GPX and the way you actually ride

The new DMD2 is out. This is not a point release with a few new buttons: the app has been rebuilt from the ground up. Your files now live in the HUB and follow you between the tablet, the web and your phone; GPX gained overlays, live curve information and automatic recording; navigation speaks in road names, exits and lanes; and the map finally does what you tell it to. Here is what changed.

Fully connected to the DMD HUB

The HUB is no longer a place you occasionally export a file to — it is part of the app. Your GPX files and folders sync both ways, so a route you build on the big screen is on the bars when you get there, and a track you record on the trail is waiting in your browser when you get home. Rider profiles sync too, which means a new device can be set up the way you had it in minutes.

Inside the app you get the full GPX Manager with folders and bulk actions, your saved Locations, and Discover: community locations, community GPX files, Signature Tracks and services shared by riders around you.

GPX, rebuilt

  • Automatic recording with its own settings — decide how and when your ride is recorded instead of remembering to press a button.
  • New track overlays — colour the line by slope or by ground type and read the terrain before you are in it.
  • Live curve information while following a track: the distance and angle of the next curve, your progress along the line, and the heading to the next waypoint.
  • Better routing along tracks, so following a plain line behaves like a proper route rather than a shape on the map.

Turn-by-turn that actually says something

Instructions are enriched wherever the map data supports it: the name of the road you are turning onto, motorway exit numbers and signage, lane guidance at complex junctions, and which exit to take on a roundabout. Off-road routing gained more options too, so Road Fast, Road Fun and Off-Road behave the way each ride needs.

And search no longer depends on signal: offline address search works with no connection at all, alongside offline POI search.

Auto POIs, with new logic

Pick the categories that matter — fuel, water, food, camping — and DMD2 loads them along your loaded track or route, with the live distance to the next one of each type. No more zooming around the map hunting for the next fuel stop.

A map that does what you tell it

A new map option lets you set at which zoom level each map item appears — roads, POIs, labels, terrain — so the map is as busy or as clean as you want it, at the zoom you actually ride at.

There are also new online layers — satellite, hillshading and national topographic rasters — and you can now download those online layers for offline use, which means the imagery comes with you past the end of coverage.

Riding groups, improved

Every member live on the map, join by invite link with no account juggling at the trailhead, one GPX shared with the whole pack, alerts when somebody stops, and a "Help Me" call when it matters. On LoRa-equipped DMD devices the group keeps tracking each other well beyond cell coverage.

A roadbook built to the rules

The roadbook reader now supports the OpenRally electronic format used under FIA rally rules, alongside classic PDF roadbooks — with three configurable instrument panels, sessions that save and resume where the stage left you, a mini-map overlay, and full control from a handlebar remote.

Country safety modules

DMD2 now carries official local alert feeds and rules per country: Portugal Avisos, Catalunya Pla Alfa, the Australian NSW and Victoria fire services, and France Vigilance with the ZFE low-emission zones. They tell you when a forest road is closed today or there is fire ahead — and they are free for everyone, because a subscription must never decide whether a rider gets that warning.

Action cameras, from the bars

Connect a GoPro, Insta360 or DJI camera and start or stop recording from the screen or your remote controller, without taking your hands off the grips or your eyes off the trail.

Cleaner throughout

Layouts have been redrawn across the app: a home dashboard you assemble yourself from up to nine widget slots, six rider profiles with one per vehicle, and light and dark themes that carry through the map. DMD2 also ships in ten languages now — English, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Norwegian and Catalan — translated by the community.

How to get it

Install from Google Play, or download the APK from the app documentation for devices without the Play Store. On DMD hardware the licence is built in — install and ride.

There is a lot more than fits in one article: the DMD2 app page walks through the whole thing, screen by screen.
