Default GPS says right when it means left???

I thought this had happened before but I chalked it up to me not paying attention, wind distortion, etc....but I swear the GPS says prepare to turn right, when its really a left turn. Happened again tonight.

Am I the only one???

Mine does it too. I have only used the NAV system once so I haven't bothered trying to figure it out

When you turn left, you actually have to turn the bars to the right to get the bike to lean to the left.

The GPS is correct.

It's happened once in a while for me too. I don't get worked up about it, other GPS systems have errors like that too. I have a brain to make sense of things, it doesn't...yet, haha

Do you have the 1.19.1 software?? May be my imagination, but I haven't had it do that since I updated.

Mine just started doing it. And the prompt tells me to turn one way and the arrow shows the other way. I also have a check engine light and temp light on. But obviously that`s another issue!

Please check this - directions should he "Heads UP' instead of North UP
In other words, if the GPS is set for North Up, the bike screen will always point towards North. So, if you want to go East, the bike will say turn right and the voice will say turn right.

Now, imagine if you were actually heading South and wanted to go East. Voice will say turn right - but the screen will show left because East is to the left of South.

Solution - change map to Heads Up Go to Setup - Navigation - Appearance - Click Heads Up

The voice directions are correct and the map is correct, but the info bar at the bottom of the screen sometimes gets rights and lefts mixed up. You would think that even with north up being selected this would not be an issue.

That has been my experience as well some times.

Not really much of an issue to me, as I don't pay much attention to the info bar at the bottom.
The actual route line on the map and the voice directions have always been correct.
