That has more to do with marketing than anything else. If Garmin sold stand alone units that then charged for updates, they'd be out of business much sooner than they already will be.
The standalone GPS market is dying, being quickly replaced by built-in vehicle systems on one end and smartphones on the other.
Very few people have the need for a standalone GPS unit today.
The in-vehicle systems have you by the *****, what are you going to do, rip it out and buy a new one or pay $100-$200 or an update? All my cars are the same way.

In your steps to install, I didn't see that you unzipped the download file. Download the file from HD site, unzip it on your pc, tranfer unzipped file/folder onto your flash drive then put flash drive into your bike's usb port then go through the install process. You may have already done this, if so that's all I got. I had no problem updating software.

I have 3 VW's, two with Nav, since i have a history with the dealership, the salesman has given me two updates for the maps. VW charges 200 dollars, absurd.
I guess there were changes to the maps etc., but i have never recognized any.
Yes it is a built in system, nice display etc., but would i ever pay for updated maps, no way.

That's why a stand alone unit is always better, even if you have to pay for map updates, (which I never have) by the time maps are far enough out of date to really matter, you can get a new, better, faster, etc GPS for less money than the one you're replacing that has the latest maps.

When I used a standalone on my bike, I often wouldn't have it attached and then suddenly wanted to just "get home" at the push of a button. No dice.
The voice and handlebar control of the Infotainment system is second to none IMHO.
Being able to see the turns ahead on an unknown road is priceless. Again, you can do this with a standalone but it's often not mounted when you suddenly have the desire for it.
Theft deterrent. You've got to unmount and stash the standalone at stops. Again making those spur of the moment uses impossible when you forget to re-mount it.
Overall, I prefer a build-in unit. If I have to pay for a map update, it's not the end of the world for the convenience of having the GPS always ready and well integrated.

Anyone get this error message while trying to update the NAV software?
It asks if I want to apply the update, I say yes, The update runs for a bit and then produces the error message. Anyone get past this?
I found on page in french that explains how to get past the error but google translate isn't the best... Here's the french page: http://www.passion-harley.net/t52054...re-et-utiliser
Error: Nav_sync_NoNavContent
Here's what I did:- attached an empty USB stick & did an Settings->Navigation->Export
- installed Navi software on PC
- inserted the USB stick into the PC
- Got the message "There is an urgent update" and followed the instructions to load the update onto the USB stick
- re-attached to the bike and turned turned ignition to accessory
