DMD2 and Digital Roadbook Navigation

TRBP

If you use DMD2 for adventure or rally-style riding, you already know how useful it is to have a proper motorcycle-focused navigation setup on your Android device.

DMD2 has become a popular choice for riders who want more than a basic sat-nav. It gives adventure riders a dashboard built around real riding needs, including maps, GPX tools, trip data, roadbook features and handlebar controller support.

That last part is especially important for roadbook navigation.

Why roadbook navigation needs handlebar control

Roadbook navigation is different from following a GPX line.

Instead of simply following a track on a map, you read the route instruction by instruction. You follow tulips, manage distance, watch for danger notes, pay attention to CAP headings and ride the route properly.

That makes roadbook riding more engaging, but it also means the controls need to work while you are riding.

Constantly touching the screen is not ideal, especially off-road, in gloves or when standing on the pegs. A handlebar controller makes the experience feel much closer to a proper rally setup.

TRBP supports DMD2 controllers

The Roadbook Project app now has full support for DMD2 controllers, built with help from the DMD development team.

This means riders can use a compatible DMD2 controller to control key roadbook actions directly from the handlebars, including scrolling the roadbook and adjusting trip distance.

For TRBP riders, this makes digital roadbook navigation smoother, safer and much more natural.

Why this matters

Digital roadbooks are making rally-style navigation more accessible.

You no longer need a full paper roadbook setup, rally tower and separate tripmeter to experience roadbook riding. With an Android device, the TRBP app and a DMD2-compatible controller, you can get a proper digital roadbook experience on your adventure bike.

TRBP roadbooks are designed to be more than just a route. They can include tulips, distances, danger notes, speed zones, waypoints and scoring features, giving riders a more interactive and challenging way to ride.

DMD2 controller support is another step towards making that experience feel right on the bike.

Who is it for?

This setup is ideal for:

  • Adventure bike riders
  • Trail riders
  • Rally training riders
  • Green lane riders
  • Event organisers
  • Riders who want more than GPX navigation

If you already use DMD2 and want to try digital roadbook navigation, TRBP is built to work with your style of riding.

Load a roadbook, connect your controller and start navigating from the bars.
