This navigation app allows you to explore locations using detailed nautical charts, discover a multitude of points of interest, create routes and share them with friends to track their position on the map.

BRP GO! is a mobile app with navigation features while BRP Connect is a technology that allows some mobile apps to be used on the vehicle display. BRP Connect technology is integrated into the BRP GO! app.
Yes. You can use BRP GO! navigation features on the 7.8" wide LCD display and the 10.25" touchscreen display as found on select Sea-Doo models. These gauges support app mirroring through the BRP Connect technology. Your phone and USB cable are required for this setup.
See the section on BRP Connect in this FAQ page for more info on compatible vehicles, setup and more.
It is not necessary to create an account to use the BRP GO! app. However, some features of the app (such as saving a ride and adding friends) require you to be logged in with an account for them to work. For the best experience, we therefore recommend that you create or log into your account.
Some web browsers (such as MI and DuckDuckGo) are not compatible with the BRP login and account creation tool, which makes it impossible to open the login page when a phone has one of these browsers by default. The solution is to change the default browser of the device to use another browser (for example: Chrome, Safari or Firefox).
To change the default browser on your Android device:
1. Go to the phone Settings
2. Go to Apps
3. Go to Manage Apps
4. Tap on “...” (upper right)
5. Go to Default Apps
6. Go to Browser
7. Select “Chrome” (or any other browser)
To change the default browser on your iOS device:
1. Go to phone Settings
2. Scroll down until you find the browser app
3. Tap the app
4. Tap "Default Browser App"
5. Select a web browser to set it as the default.
Navigation Overview
Yes. Currently, BRP GO!'s Water navigation does not detect the difference between water and land. It is therefore possible to create a route that passes by land.
To ensure user safety, a notice is displayed in the app when creating a route and before starting a ride.
Yes, it is possible to use the BRP GO! Navigation map in Dark mode, in addition to Light mode.
To change the map display mode on your phone:
Change the display mode from your phone's Settings (Display & Brightness).
To change the map display mode on your vehicle's cluster:
- On the 7.8" display: Go to Menu > Settings > Display > Mode
- On the 10.25" display: Go to Quick Preferences (icon is located in the status bar) > select "Dark" or "Bright"
Once your itinerary has been saved and before you head out, download your ride from your phone. This way, you can ride offline without problems with the map details and points of interest. However, if you are doing a group ride, it won't be possible to track your friends' location on the map when you have no network. This feature requires a network connection for you and your friends.
Navigation - Nautical Charts subscription
With the one-year subscription, get access to two additional map layers from Navionics™:
- Nautical Chart: Locate navigation aids (such as buoys and lighthouses) & nearby marine services, study safety depth contours & port plans, and more
- SonarChart™: Discover what lies underneath in detail with the precise bottom contours of an HD bathymetric map, perfect for better locating shallow waters and identifying fishing areas
This very precise level of detail of marine objects and depths ensures that you navigate in full control on the water. And of course, all the features of BRP GO! such as trip recording, route planning, real-time friend tracking and offline riding all work with these nautical chart layers.
From the app home page:
1- Go to "My profile" (icon at the top right)
2- In the "Unlock Nautical Charts" section, press "Browse all charts"
3- Select the chart you want to buy
- Click on the price to go directly to the purchase
- Or click on the chart name for more information
4- If you went to the detailed information page, press the "Purchase for XX$/year" button
5- Complete the purchase with your Apple or Google account
6- When the purchase is complete, you will be able to activate the two new map layers in the region purchased (in the "Maps" tab of the Navigation, press the Map Layers icon (top right))
The price of the annual subscription varies depending on the region of the nautical chart purchased. Please check the "Nautical Charts Subscriptions" section in the app to see prices in your local currency.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to link a nautical chart purchased elsewhere to your BRP GO! account (even if it’s a Navionics chart). To be able to use a nautical chart in the BRP GO! app, you must subscribe to a chart from BRP GO!.
Yes. A nautical chart subscription is associated with a single BRP account. Therefore, if you have multiple devices (iOS or Android), you will have access to your purchases on all your devices if you log in to the same BRP account used for the purchase.
If the purchase is not showing up on one of your devices, use the "Restore my purchase" button in the "My Profile" section of the app to sync purchases from your account.
Yes, the subscription automatically renews one year after the date of purchase.
To unsubscribe from a nautical chart, go to the "My Profile" section of the app and tap on "Manage my subscriptions". You will then be redirected to the unsubscribe page managed by Apple or Google (depending on your device) where you can cancel your subscription. Please make sure to use the same platform you used for your purchase (e.g. if your purchase was made from your Apple account on an iPhone, please unsubscribe on an iPhone).
When a subscription is canceled, previously purchased nautical charts will continue to be available in the app until the end of the initial subscription period. Cancellation will ensure that you are not automatically resubscribed at the end of the period.
Like any mobile purchase on the App Store or Google Play, refund requests are made to Apple and Google (depending on the device used to purchase the subscription). It is the policies of these two platforms that will decide whether you are entitled to a refund. Get more information on the Apple and Google websites.
Nautical charts contain a lot of information, so it is normal that it takes a few seconds to download the chart data, especially if the internet network is not strong. Also, data downloading is only done from a particular zoom level and when the map is static for at least one second.
We recommend always downloading your rides in advance (you have to save it and then download it) to ensure there are less potential problems downloading data while you are on your vehicle.
1- Go to "My Profile" (icon at the top right of the home screen)
2- In the "Maps Subscriptions" section, select "Update maps"
Since the detailed nautical charts come from Navionics, we invite you to contact their customer service to inform them of the situation.
Unfortunately, nautical charts are currently not available in Brazil due to the complexity of managing in-app purchase taxes in this country. All other features of BRP GO! are still available in Brazil.

The BRP Connect app has been removed from Apple Store and Google Play Store since the integration of BRP Connect technology into BRP GO!, but you may still have the BRP Connect app on your phone if you never deleted it.
In this case, the BRP Connect app still works on vehicles. However, it will not be possible for you to use the BRP GO! Navigation features from the BRP Connect app. Also, this app is also no longer updated, so it may contain issues that have been fixed in the BRP GO! app.
We strongly suggest removing the BRP Connect app and only using the BRP GO! app. BRP GO! offers the most up-to-date experience.

If you decide to use your phone while it is connected to BRP Connect, you will not be able to use BRP Connect on your vehicle. If this situation occurs and you want to put BRP Connect back on the display, simply reopen the BRP GO! app foreground on your phone and the connection to BRP Connect will be reestablished (if your phone is still connected to Bluetooth and USB cable).
We recommend using the manufacturer's original USB cable to connect your smartphone to the vehicle. Often, unstable connection issues between your phone and the vehicle display are caused by a poor quality USB cable.
Question: Must the BRP GO! app be opened on my phone each time I am about to connect my phone to the vehicle?
Answer: Yes. You will need to unlock your phone and open the BRP GO! app before each connection (open the app before plugging in the USB cable).
