I've seen some posts about the "Canada default." What does this mean? I bought my 14 FLHTK in Michigan and rode back to NY. I inputted my home address and hit the Go Home button. 50-75 miles later, I had the sneaking suspicion that I was being routed through Canada, when I was seeing a lot of signs for Detroit. I was dealing with a learning curve with the new InfoTainment system and stopped to try to square away my route, as I'd not elected to bring a passport. I set a course for the Waffle House east of Cleveland and the GPS started pushing me south to I-80 and then to I-90, which after a stellar dinner at the WH, was my best route back home.

I had the same problem with my zumo, it is fastest to cut through Canada in some places and can't believe there is no setting for "don't leave this country" seems like it would be good to have as we did not have our passports with us or insurance for leaving the country. I changed from fastest to shortest route and still wanted to go through

It's under the Avoidances section of the route calculation.

My Limited shipped with 17.5 and was manufactured in June. I could never get the screen to change from day to night mode no matter what I did. I could manually change the colors so I could tell there was a difference, but it never did it on its own.
After I installed the 18.1 upgraded I shut the lights off in the garage and within 30 seconds or so it flipped to night mode. I know of stories about getting it back into day mode but I haven't ridden the bike since the update to know if that'll be an issue or not.
I'm curious if AVC is a little better as well as the bass changes. The AVC would be about on full tilt until you slowed down to about 8-10mph or so. Then it'd get quiet.

My problem was my zumo 665 did not have that, lots of avoidance's but not that basic one. Post it! Harley has one up on Garmin for all the haters. Mike

I have 1.17.4, and if I start the bike in a parking garage where it is dark, it starts up in night mode. It will not switch back to day mode at all by itself, need to shut down and restart. If in Day Mode and going through a tunnel that is long enough (15 seconds?) it goes to night mode and won't switch back. This is annoying, obviously. Hope 1.18.1 solves this. In the meantime I have set it to always be in day mode.
