Default Nav Expectations

So - new to the infotainment system (always had cruisers and my last bike was an RK) and I just have to ask - what should I expect from the navigation system?

I currently have a '17 Trike -,and am about to update the maps- but should I expect anything that comes close to Google Maps?

For most addresses - its fine but I do a lot hiking in state parks and so far - if I try to find anything off county highways/county roads - its no luck at all. Example W431 County Line Dr Kewaskum WI - absolutely no luck but with google - no problem at all.

And I get there are paper maps and pencils but if I have a nav system - I would really like it to work.

So - thoughts?

Set ur expectations fairly low. The HD Nav is basic but it's a nice feature for sure. Most of the onboard Nav HUs simply will not compare to the Google Maps, Ways, etc.
If detailed maps outweighs legit waterproofing that the HD has and also full functionality via hand controls then move to an aftermarket HU with CarPlay. The latest HD GTS have CarPlay but damn are they expensive!!!!

It's gonna involve some prioritizing and a little give and take brother.

Thanks for the insight! And agree - some really good upside to the overall functionality of the HD Nav System...I will take what I got!

I think that's a very good decision!!! And that's coming from a guy that runs an aftermarket HU.
