If you are heading;
West, the red arrow should point left, 9:00 o'clock.
East, the red arrow should point right, 3:00 o'clock
South, the red arrow should point down, 6:00 o'clock
North, the red arrow should point up, 12 o'clock

If they simply made it read out the letters "N NE E SE S SW W and NW", people wouldn't be as confused... maybe.

I understand compass and heading indicator displays. Since the .5 update most of the indicators are incorrect too often. Prior to that, at least the full screen compass was accurate. On my weekend trip, I tried all the compass, heads-up setting options multiple times, using my Nuvi as a reference. Throughout the 300 miles, the alphabetic indicator (in the bottom banner) was accurate, the full screen compass rarely and the overlay on the map was accurate about 50% of the time and that was only if I was headed North. When it wasn't accurate, it didn't matter how it was set-up, it was simply inaccurate. We even did a loop around a small town a few times. First time going North, the indicator was pointing @ the 6:00, after going around 360 deg. (back to North), it swung to clockwise to 1:30, the 3rd time 3:00.

I purchased the HD part number 69200610 jumper and removed the 3 wires from the Molex connector. Be sure to record what pin number they are and color. You will find a 12 pin Molex connector on top of the radio unit that goes from the CB to the main radio unit. In that connector on the CB side you will see 4 spaces in the plug that are not being used. Take the Molex connector apart from the front. Remove the white blanks. insert the wire sockets into the same number holes you removed them from previously. They are white, red, black. Hole numbers 6,7,8. Take bike to your dealer to connect to Digital Tech. Under the radio tab you will see Audio inputs. Choose Aux input 3 and name it what ever you like. You will see at the top of the DT screen an option to turn CB on or Off. Do not choose ON. That will take the CB out of system. Only tell them to turn the Audio 3 input on. Flash radio and reboot radio. You will see on your radio under "Media" your newly named input. it will work with any Garmin or audio device you have and functions and mutes just like the rest of the system. I hope this helps those of us who had questions about this subject.

I got the tech to enable the Aux 3 input and was able to see the Garmin as the third media device but now I had lost the navigation prompts, I had also lost the on board GPS. Long story short (I was with the tech when he was working on the bike to get the onboard GPS back) to get the GPS back the previous Tech had switched it off (maybe he thought that I did not need it because of my Garmin. Whilst looking for this problem he showed me the page where the third input is enabled and I noticed that there were four options On, Off (default), Prompt Only (default - hence the ability to hear nav prompts from the Garmin) and Prompts and add device to menu. I got him to enable the last option. Now I not only am able to select my Garmin as the third input device but I also get nav prompts from it no matter what media source I am listening to.

I have purchased the HD part number 69200610 jumper and when it gets to the dealership I will have no problems with this installation. I will be mounting my Garmin 590LM to the handlebars. I will be hooking the 590LM audio out into the 69200610 jumper.
Here is where I not sure I understand the HD-Tech settings. I will have service tech set aux 3 to "Garmin 590LM". I will have them select "Prompts and add device to menu". They will make no further changes. At this point I will hear my Garmin prompts through the radio and I will still see the HD Nav Screen if I so choose.
