Import Map Problem...
Trying to import a map and cannot get it to work.
Create map online with Google Maps
Create .gpx file of map using GPS Visualizer page
Copy .gpx file to root of known good USB stick
Connect USB stick to bike
Fire up Navigation on the bike
Go to Import
Bike sees USB stick
Bike sees map name
Select map
Nav system sits there doing seemingly nothing
Come back maybe 5 minutes later and I get an error message
What am I doing wrong?

Pokey074 - not sure why it is not running - however, may I suggest this.
Got to Honda Ride Planner. Create your route. When done, export that to your flash drive.
Turn the bike on, let NAV come up. Once up, plug in the flash drive. Go to Import. Import the file you saved.

The import function is for files, not map databases. The Boom has a navigation mapset. I don't see how you can replace the map, especially when it is integrated within the system (e.g., POI, dealerships, etc.).

What software version of BOOM are you running. Anything older than the latest worked fine for me, but I have not tried to upload a .gpx map to the latest and greatest version.
It's a PITA, but maybe a factory reset of BOOM? That always cures a multitude of ills and might get you going...

I use this one for all my custom routes, and have never had any issues with it.
Try something other than Google Maps, and see what results you have.
Here is another site that is known to work.

+1 on the MotoGoLoco. I make routes with this website and export to GPS. I don't have a Harley GPS but I have imported to several harleys that have the GPS and so far no issues.

To the OP...Something is jacked with the latest version of BOOM. I just tested it and it would not load a .gpx... I'm dropping back to 1.20.3

If it won't work with Google Maps, which is easy to use and on my phone, then what's the point?

Pokey074 - Google maps can no longer export gpx files. There are others, Harley Ride Planner. I also suggested Honda Ride Planner.
To import to the Boom, you will need to download the file - how had you planned to get from your phone to the USB flash drive?
Plongson - I have the latest update on my Boom - and can import gpx files with no problems. What issues/errors are you receiving?
