A new software update is now available for the smart system from Bosch eBike Systems. This includes numerous features designed to further optimize and personalize navigation, make it easier to find the eBike and improve power measurement. Bosch is thus continuing on its path of successively providing e-bikers with new features for a personalized experience.  
The new navigation features of the eBike Flow app make it easier to find your way and ride to your destination without distraction. There are now turn-by-turn directions optionally also as short tones or via voice instructions. This allows you to focus fully on the traffic while riding without having to look at the display. The sound and voice output can be set easily and directly on the Ride Screen. The smartphone serves as a loudspeaker.

The new Dark Map ensures that all map details in the navigation can be easily read even in the dark. The function allows you to switch the map display to a dark color scheme so that you are not dazzled by the display. At the same time, it reduces the smartphone's power consumption.
There is also an update for the display Kiox 300: The navigation screen now shows useful details such as junctions and descents in addition to the route in the form of a line - for example, e-mountain bikers can now precisely identify where to turn off at an ambiguous trail junction; this also works for all other routes. If you do stray from the planned route, the new re-routing function automatically calculates an alternative route in the direction of travel within a few seconds. This function is also available for navigation in the eBike Flow app.
 
Personalized navigation

In order to guide you to your destination via the ideal route, the navigation in the Flow app uses personalized route planning. The recommendation is based on data from all users of the eBike Flow app. At the end of the ride, users can rate the route planning and thus help to continuously improve the recommendations. Because the navigation system also learns from the data of the last routes ridden and personal riding behavior, it now calculates the arrival time more precisely and displays it in real time on the Flow app and on the Kiox 300. 

Always know where the eBike is

On arrival at your destination, the new parking function displays the name of the street where the eBike is parked directly on the home screen of the eBike Flow app. This makes it easy to find it again at any time after a break or longer absence. Tapping the street name opens a map view with a marker for the exact location of the eBike. This function requires the so-called Connect Module, which must be installed in the eBike.

New ride screens for power measurement 

Sporty riders can now display the current cadence and power as well as the altitude differences on the Ride Screen of the eBike Flow app. This information helps them to optimize their ride and playfully increase their endurance or improve their fitness level

New features for iPhone users

Thanks to the update, iPhone users will be notified by the eBike Flow app in critical situations, even if the smartphone is muted and the focus mode messages are suppressed. In the event of theft, for example, a notification appears on the lock screen and a sound is played. To be able to use the function, users simply need to activate the "Critical notifications" option in the iPhone settings. In addition, iPhone users now have the option of changing the titles of their automatically recorded activities via Activity Tracking. They can use both text and emojis - and thus also emotionally document how they enjoyed their last eBike tour.

The update can be downloaded via the eBike Flow app which is available for download in the corresponding app store at no additional cost. To be able to use the eBike Flow app, iOS 15 or Android 8.0 is required.
