If you are lucky it will reconnect but only until you lose the connection again, typically 15-20mins down the road. It’s when and not if the Connected App loses connection with the TFT the only remedy is to stop the bike, remove the phone from its prison, switch the ignition off and attempt to reconnect. It is so unstable that you can not rely on it for touring or even the most simplest of routes. Perhaps for some this is ok but the killer is the unfailing unreliability of the system. If you try and access any other App the mapping function will stop working. Also the designers are not aware of how people use their phones given that the Connectivity App must be the dominant app and always open. The designers of the 2021 RT clearly do not own a modern smart phone as anything other than the smallest models do not fit the phone enclosure. Even in this case you had better know where it is. I own both the R1250RT and the R1250GS and in my opinion the overall Connectivity package and specifically the Navigation component, is a poorly designed package that is unreliable to the point of making it almost unusable save for a trip to the local supermarket.
