I don't use the Mic so I have no clue about the voice command! And the Voice prompt still interrupts the radio!
You can turn those voice prompts off if you want, so that doesn't happen.

I think you need to spend a little more time with the Boom owners manual.
There is a reason these bikes have a separate infotainment system owners manual.

I'll say this, I'm typically not an instruction guide reader. I usually figure out how to work stuff and put stuff together without them. I'm sure plenty of you guys are the same.

Read the Boom manual, it works wonders. I like my Boom system since i spent time in the garage with my nose in the book.

Once you graduate from the HD-College you should be able to handle this HD-GPS. Let me tell you this. The learning curve to handle a Garmin proficiently is roughly 5-10 minutes. To handle this POS it is up to the mental capability of each owner. It may take you weeks or even longer, because you have to figure out the manual first, before you put it to the real road test. The word user-friendliness is not necessarily in its dictionary.

For those that just can't figure out the boom gps or hate it, you can set your radio up for an auxillary input. You can then use your Garmins, Tomtoms and any other gadgets you like.
