Exciting update announced, specifically the addition of navigation data added to the kiox display. Making me even more excited for my 2021 Rail to arrive!

Anyone got an inside scoop on how effective the directions will be? Will they work off road?

Summer Update Bosch Performance Line CX (2020 / Gen4) :

More torque
More powerful than ever: Increased to 85 Nm, the torque has a noticeable effect on riding behaviour. It accelerates faster, particularly at low cadences, and makes uphill starts much easier. Looks like the 85 Nm torque will only be available in eMTB & Turbo modus.

Extended Boost
Extended Boost is the unrivalled function for negotiating exposed roots, steps and stones with ease, even uphill. This function enables you to manoeuvre with greater agility and ease on even the most technically demanding trails. Activated by a 'kick-down' on the pedals.

Improved EMTB modus
The improved adjustment of eMTB mode ensures optimum traction control in all gears and enables organic handling (AKA 'power on demand'). Start-up behaviour is much finer and more sensitive - especially in low gears. Due to the increased torque, the drive unit supports an even wider cadence range (from 50-90+ to 20-90+)

The software update will be available from specialist retailers from summer 2020 onwards and will be standard on all eMountain bikes with Performance Line CX from model year 2020 onwards. New bicycle models from model year 2021 onwards will be available with the update from specialist retailers from autumn 2020 onwards.

You can see a description here. Basically, the Kiox displays the next bit of the route calculated by your smartphone as a wiggly line. Seems a bit primitive in all honesty.
