#44
I have had my 2014 Trike for a little over a month.
I have used 2 different Garmin's, H-D GPS is different.
The Boom Box does have a learning cure that requires you to learn different procedures than you may be use to. I have read and reread the Owners Manual as well as watched the videos on http://boombox.harley-davidson.com I am slowly learn how to live with it.

Anyone who says the GPS and Bluetooth on the 2014's are good...Are not electronically inclined. Those folks who use technology to their limits will tell you that this was a grave error on HD's part. This is one of many threads regarding the GPS...I hope all of you are dropping a dime to let HD know that we are not pleased. I'm hoping for a new software version soon....like they say in Maine....You can't get there from herrrre...Sounds like my GPS

Squirtgun you are absolutely correct, if anyone thinks the HD GPS is great, then they have never used one in the past. To start with, my Garmin 660 had something like a 50 page user manual. The HD manual has about 9 pages regarding setup and instructions on using the GPS. A good place for them to start would have been with a manual that is more specific in the operation of the GPS. I wouldn't even know where to start as far as covering the things that are wrong with this unit, nor do I want to spend the time discussing it. I can simply summarize by saying that I hate it. Unfortunately I sold my Garmin, but I will buy another to replace this piece of crap. I have about 8K miles on this one so I've had an opportunity to use it. Harley Davidson...shame on you. I'm very disappointed that I paid this kind of money for a bike and still have to buy another GPS. I've got a few other bones regarding this '14 trike (rims).....this could be my last HD and I've bought 3 new ones in the last 7 years. Huge disappointment!
Life is hard and full of disappointments. Sorry to see you get so upset about something that should just be fun. I'd be interested to learn what you do for a living that you are so good at that you never disappoint anyone. You are so disappointed with the 6.5 Boom that you may never buy another HD? Let's discuss it, yeah? Or no? Maybe your next bike will be one made by a snowmobile company? Shame on Harley? LMFAO.

Finding the "STOP" navigation took some forum help . The day time visibility is awesome. It gets me where I need to go.
