I have SGS I think the GPS sucks, I'm not a teck guy at all. Just want something simple to use once in a while. What the hell was Harley thinking when used this system??? Why not use a format like TOM TOM, or one of the others out there.

 

It is really not hard to use, you'll get used to it.

The one in my $60,000 Cadillac was way worse.

 

almost had the bike for a year now 18000 miles later still confused. The one in my caddy seems ok to me

 

As said, it is pretty nice one you understand it.

Where are you stuck?

 

What are you complaining about? What do you not like on it? I have a Garmin in my car and, although I like it, it's not perfect either. If HD would have put a TomTom in its BoomBox, I am sure there would have been a bunch of guys out there complaining about that choice. You cannot please everybody. As you said, you are no tech guy. So maybe that's your problem. You should educate yourself a little in order to operate such a simple device such as a GPS better.

 

None of them are dependable. Those that you pay the big bucks for in/on your vehicle are the worst. I now always buy the model WITHOUT the nav system. Always.

 

I like the gps, I have a tom tom in my car, and the wife has the built in one in her jeep. They all have good and bad.

 

They're all different and they all have their own quirks. We've had 3 Mercedes and I think their GPS is the most difficult to use of any that we've had but if you use them often, it's like anything else; you get accustomed to it. Same with the Harley. Garmin's are probably the easiest but they also have a bigger user base of any of the GPS systems in vehicles so they focus their resources to fine tune them based on input that they get from their user base. They have to. Harley focuses more on their bikes since that's what really matters for them. I'm getting used to the NAV on the Harley and really don't think it's that bad.

 

'14 Limited, I roger every word you said. Right on the mark.

 

It took me a little while to get used to it. The GPS itself is much like other Garmin GPS units. The Boom is different and takes a little to get used to it. I went from and Acura and it was the simplest to use to a Lexus and I thought that Lexus had screwed up the system big time as it took some time to get used to where each function was hidden.

What are your challenges, maybe we can help.
