Default Map Update

I downloaded the new software for the Boom box infotainment system, maps does not appear to have been updated since Q2 -2014??? Is this true? Are they selling new bikes with outdated maps? Have I been missing something?

The software update does not update the GPS maps. That cost extra and you get a map that's a year old. HD hasn't taken the the Infortainment / Nav system very serious at all.

Yep - this is a crappy system. Found out that you have to purchase an update for the 'small' amount of $150 through Naviextra...another scam if you ask me. But hey; I'm not surprised. :-)

There's a lot more talk on this in the Rushmore forum. It seams to me the folks that like the Nav the most are the ones using a Ride Planer.

The HD Ride Planner allows you to create a route on a map using a beginning and an end with way-points in between then import it into the GPS/Nav. Here's a good
tutorial. If you do a search on the Rushmore forum you will find a lot of information on Ride Planer. This thread has an alternative to the HD Ride Planer.

A marketing observation: With the new map updates, Navi/Harley has done away with 2014 Q2 type naming. The maps now appear on your cycle as My-NA2016 or My-NA2017. Now, when you get a new bike, it looks like your maps are the same year, or close to it, as your cycle.
