XRS Location Services Explained! 

When I first got my XRS radio, i thought Location Services were a complete gimmick that nobody would ever see a need. Well, i couldn't have been more wrong. Crossing the Simpson Desertt, it seemed like every 3rd vehicle had an XRS Radio with LS on. EVERY time they transmitted - even if they were just chatting within their party (which is something annoying on UHF10, let me tell you) - your saw their little dot and your little dot on the map getting closer and closer, to the point where youd start having to call af each crest. IT WAS BLOODY BRILLIANT. The only thing *I* would like is to see the XRS app become Apple Car Play and Android Auto compatible so you can have this map feature on your compatible head unit, so you can have your phone plugged in but out of the way.

Just got myself an xrs390c, absolutely love it 😀

Well Explained. Thanks

Thanks for the steps.

I bout a 80 series at 16 and upgrades ar putting into dept but its betta to go all than have somwthing break on ya

Loved the video. However just wondering what the range is on the location services feature

I would like to see another video showing Location features with the XRS660

Hi Tony, I’ve tried saving the maps but don’t seem to have the SAVE Icon at the top of the screen. Tried a couple of times and can’t seem to cache the maps for the offline use.

On a Apple iPhone if you push the power button but don’t slide the phone off and you push the home button that’s supposedly clears the cache does that remove the downloaded maps ?

Hi, just installed XRS 370. So far so good. I tried to save a map for offline use but the disc icon is not appearing on the map in the app. Is there another setting I may have missed? Thanks Scott

does this feature works with the xrs-330COB? or do I need to get the XRS-330COBG (with gps) ? I cant find any info on the difference between the two

Hi Tony. If I am out walking will location seevices on my phone find my vehicle via bluetooth or does it only work between vehicles when you are driving.

Hi, for some reason if I go to status I only have option to change status but no option for user name. I have Samsung S21. Any ideas please? Thanks

I can't find the xrs location services app in the play store

Would be great if the GME map could push the location data to Google maps, apple maps Gaia or Hema.

Does the app work with Android Auto? Be good if it did

Is it just me or is the xrs the most appallingly unintuitive app you have ever seen? I'm an IT professional very comfortable with tech but fair dinkum this thing is a dog.
