I find that the new built in GPS on my Limited works just as well.

I have never had a single issue finding anything, importing routes, navigating routes, etc.

The only thing I really miss that my Garmin did was display the speed limit on the road I was traveling.
Everything else about the new HD works.

Oh, I almost forgot. The arrival time to my home destination was off by "only" 30 minutes. My Garmin is always dead nuts. If you state your GPS in your Limited works just as well, then there is either something wrong with your Garmin, or you are simply easy to please. To compare this POS to any Garmin is an insult against Garmin. There is no comparison to Garmin. Garmin is the standard in GPS-technology, period.

Maybe we should try to determine why your's is different? If I can check any settings let me know but please, treat me like a friend, because I am.

If you input the address for the HD dealer you'll get there so the GPS is working just fine. The only issue I have had with the GPS routing me incorrectly has to do with the map in the GPS varying slightly with the Garmin map in BaseCamp which I use for route planning. On occasion it will try to take me a few yards down a side street for example.

If you want to know my verdict upfront, here it is: This GPS is absolutely USELESS. I am stunned that the MOCO put such a piece of $...t in such a superior bike and thinks we, the buyers, will accept it. I sure hope that HD would read our complaints and eventually improve their shortfalls. I would like to mention that I did not purchase my SGS because of this built-in GPS. No, I bought my SGS because it is a fantastic touring bike with lots of great features.
But back to my GPS-test and the things I complain about:
The graphic is the poorest of all the GPS-systems I have used in the past. It simply sucks big time. If the unit is used in 2D mode the roads are shown in a pale yellow on a greyish background that makes it really hard to see, unless you zoom in. But then you lose the ability to see where you are, relative to the area you are travelling. Also the road numbers are so small that you’d need reading glasses, unless you are in your twenties and your eye sight is still sharp. The 2D map is very crude with a very large (motorcycle)-icon that indicates your position. The 2D map is by far not as detailed as a Garmin, or Tom-Tom map. When you zoom out the roads disappear and the names of towns become very sparse. To use this GPS as a 2D-map, it simply falls far behind compared to any other GPS. To use the 3D-mode without any destination input simply doesn’t make any sense at all. If you zoom out in 3D-mode, it looks almost identical to the 2D mode. But here are my biggest complaints: The POI (points of interests). When we came close to Daytona Beach, I searched for a HD-dealership. Bruce Rossmeyer came up three times in the list. I picked the one that was located in Daytona Beach and the closest one. So we followed the highlighted route and stopped when the nice voice said “you have reached your destination”. Problem was we ended up in front of the “Indian Motorcycle” dealership. No HD-dealer nearby! Pretty embarrassing for HD to guide you to their competition, isn’t it! We then picked the next one on the list and it was nine miles outside Daytona. At least now the GPS found the largest HD-dealership in the country. When we were searching for restaurants, or hotels we had to use the Zumo, simply because it would give you the distance and the direction to the restaurants of your choice in an instant. With the HD-unit all you get it a list in alphabetical order with no directions or distances. You have to scroll down an endless list and then pick a certain name. Once you click on that name, only then would it give you the distance and direction to your choice. The list gives you places up to forty miles away! Who in the world wants to travel forty miles away to have breakfast at Denny’s? The Garmin gives you any POI, regardless of the name, by distance and direction upfront. That I call “user friendliness”, which the HD-unit certainly does not exhibit. I would like to stop here, although the list of my complaints goes on much further.
I know this report may contradict the opinion of many here who think this GPS is the best since sliced bread. I don’t want to change the opinions of those riders at all. May they think whatever they want, but it simply won’t change the impression I gathered about this piece of crap. It is very obvious that a certain Hungarian Software company won the competition with the cheapest bid for this BOOM Box-GPS. Harley Davidson should be ashamed to have made this choice. It certainly will impact my future plans when it comes to purchase another bike from the MOCO.
