Hi,

My Samsung S9 phone with Yamaha Power Tuner phone app installed will not recognize the maps I download from:
https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/motocross/pages/yamaha-power-tuner-sm…

The phone downloads the maps fine and I can see them in the downloads folder.

However, I cannot seem to figure out how to open them/add them to the app ... and the app doesn't seem to recognize anything is happening when I try to open them.

Any input is appreciated!

... and to be clear, this is laziness.

I just ended up entering the parameters as shown in the pictures below the downloads on Yamaha's site (smart for showing these!). For example, here's the TP5 map:



But I would still like to get the app to work - so any ideas, bring 'em!

I'm having a similar issue - I'm on a Motorola G7 Power with Android 10. The app doesn't seem to find the downloaded files, also it is generally a b**ch to get it to stay connected to send maps to the bike. I thought I had the process figured out, but it seems every time I try to change maps I just have to keep messing around with a bunch of different settings on my phone to get it to work. Really frustrating to say the least, hopefully Yamaha releases an update soon. One thing that seemed to work, though it hasn't recently - go into the app settings on your phone and make sure it has permissions to access the storage on your phone. The app did not have that permission on my phone and when I enabled that it was able to find the maps. Like I said, this worked once for me and now it's not working again, but it would be something to check on your phone.

^^^ much appreciated! I'll make sure the app has access to the downloads again (already did - but persistence may not have taken).

Yamaha ... App update, please!!!

You have to authorize SHARING. Go into your MAPS and hold down MAP 1. Choose SHARE and the app will ask for permission to SHARE. Once you do that, exit the app, download your map, and open it again. You should get a message that reads DATA WAS SHARED.

Good Luck.

Ok, I did what you say - it works, and I don't even remotely understand it. But it works. Thank you.

The order of operations here is very unclear to me.
