The maps and software on your ATV's 7" Display powered by RIDE COMMAND can be updated using a computer and a USB.
Before updating your 7" Display, syncing your rides and places is recommended. For more information and instructions, read Syncing RIDE COMMAND Data.
It is recommended that you use a USB drive that is 32GB and in exFAT® format. For help, read Formatting a USB to FAT32 or exFAT®.
Updating Software
To update the software on your 7" Display, follow these steps.
On your computer:
1. Go to the RIDE COMMAND website to access a list of vehicle display updates.
2. Select the display that corresponds to the one on your vehicle.
3. Click the button to download the most recent software.
4. The downloaded file does not need to be opened on your computer. It only needs to be copied to a USB drive.
5. Save the file to a removable USB drive. See above for USB size and format recommendations.
On your vehicle:
1. Plug the USB drive into your vehicle's USB cable and turn on the display. To identify your vehicle's USB cable location, refer to your Owner's Manual. Note: Make sure that the USB drive is fully inserted in the port.
2. Once the USB drive is plugged into the USB cable on your vehicle, turn on the display. Press the Polaris logo at the top of the screen. Tap SETTINGS. Tap GENERAL from the tabs on the left. Scroll down to UPDATE SOFTWARE.
3. Select the file you want to install. "Newest" will be automatically displayed next to the newest version detected on the USB drive.
4. The display will reboot and install the software.
5. It is recommended to always update the maps with current trails and points of interest (POIs) after you update the RIDE COMMAND software to ensure compatibility. Continue reading for instructions on updating the trails, POIs and base maps.
Updating Maps
The maps update will be found on the right-hand side of the screen on the RIDE COMMAND Map and Software updates page. Trails are updated every day, so regular updates are recommended. Note: RIDE COMMAND does not support third-party maps.
1. Download your selected map region. You do not need to include the base map if you are already seeing roads and base map details on your display. Note: Including the base map will take significantly longer to download to the flash drive and upload to your vehicle. It is recommended to include the base map if there have been a lot of local road changes or if the version is dated prior to 4/24/2020.
2. Once downloads are complete, drag and drop the file(s) onto your USB drive. See above for USB size and format recommendations. The file or files do not need to be opened on your computer. It only needs to be copied to a USB drive. Note: Both the software and maps files can be on your USB drive at the same time. The display will select the proper file.
3. Plug the USB drive into your vehicle's USB cable. To identify your vehicle's USB cable location, refer to your Owner's Manual. If you are also updating the base map, connect the vehicle to a trickle charger to avoid depleting the battery. Read Battery Charging and Maintenance Tips for Polaris Off-Road Vehicles for help. Note: Make sure that the USB drive is fully inserted in the port.
4. Turn on the display. Press the Polaris logo at the top of the screen. Tap SETTINGS > GENERAL from the tabs on the left. Scroll down to UPDATE MAPS/TRAILS.
5. Select the file you want to install.
6. The display will reboot and install the updated maps. This process may take a while depending on the speed of your USB drive.
