Is it just me or does this navigation suck? I just took a 1200 mile ride (600 per day) and I just wanted to rip that POS out and smash it.

I love how only sometimes it will tell you the street name you need to turn on.

Let's just say I missed a couple of turns.

 

And that's why I didn't waste my money on a special and got a regular street glide! The only thing that's good for is telling you where all the harley dealers are, what a joke.

 

Not even good for that. Visalia Harley Davidson and Henderson Harley Davidson it gave me wrong direction to.

 

I have went on several trips with mine and its worked great I use it alot.

 

I always tell people it will get you there, just not necessarily the same path or as easy as my Fords nav unit, iphone or my older Gamin unit does. I do wish it was easier to use and didnt require a long learning curve, but those that use it regularly appear to have it down ok. Got quite a few route preferences that can really throw you a curve ball if you have it set differently as expected.

 

The whole system seems to be put together by a 6 year old in the early days of electronics. Just pitiful. . . .

 

Yes it will tell one maybe twice where to turn, but, by touching the screen it will repeat the directions, did you know that? So far i found it ok.......radio needs attention, maybe I need more speakers and biggr amp

 

I like mine, so far it hasn't steered me wrong.

 

HD should have installed a Garmin system in there.

 

It's true. The boot up time is sloooooowwww as is the time it takes for the navi to acquire satellites. Clearly an indication HU/Navi was manufactured with older/cheaper computing chip sets. In bake offs between Indian and HD, this has come up several times as a weakness. Navi is slow when there is a quick set of turns..example...left then first right. You end up missing that second turn and then it takes so long to recalculate you end up missing the alternate route as well.

Agree with the previous post that Garmin would have been a better choice. Love the bike but somethings are incredibly annoying for what we pay.
