GPS update
OK I installed the update a few days back and had a chance to ride about 600miles around Wi/Mn/Ia this weekend---didn't really notice anything different with the gps function--what was irritating before still is but have learned to either work around or ignore those small issues--realizing this unit isn't a Garmin and never will be one--my old ipod worked almost continually throughout the ride(used to have to be unplugged after every stop)--not sure if that is due to the ipod or the update--but none of it takes away from my pleasure of this most excellent machine!!

Today
Well its my turn to test it. Headed to this event this morning. I know every turn in the road but this will be a good chance to test it and i plotted out 9 waypoints including the start and finish. http://www.theveteransrally.org/
I used Tyre to plot and download onto the bike and the download was fast.

He was on the phone with them quite a few times and they said a complete new release is coming after the dealers meeting next week. They said 1.18.x will be the new one.

Just go to the website and download .4 and reload that. It should bring them back.

Kawasaki still has a fairing equipped touring bike, Yamaha discontinued the RoyalStar Venture for 2014 & I can't tell you the last time Suzuki had a bike with a hard fairing - I think it would have been the Cavalcade maybe?
Anyway, I (personally) wouldn't say, across the board, I wouldn't want what they offered. It would depend on the bike. When I shopped for a bike this time, I knew I didn't really want a GW - I just don't really like the way they look. Not that their bad, but I like seeing an engine. I checked into Victory & again, my tastes are conservative I guess; the way they come to a point in the back doesn't do it for me. My last bike was a 2002 RoyalStar Venture; that bike bore a resemblance to the UC styling & when I bought it new, it would flat outrun any touring HD unless it was heavily modded. However, Yamaha never updated it - that bike came out in '99, & it was the same bike in 2013, down to the 4 carbs & a stereo with a cassette deck! The Kaw has generally garnered less than stellar reviews.
So, my choice was rather easy as HD was the only company offering a bike with the styling & features I wanted; including on-board navigation. The system works fine for me: if I'm lost & hit <HOME>, or any destination, it will take me there. That's what I'm most concerned with.
