And if you have a Motorola MA1 dongle you can do wireless Android Auto.

You also need a mic plugged in (or spoof one). If you have a WHIM you need a connected wireless headset.

I’m not sure I follow you. When you say fits in the fairing do you mean that little pocket? My iPhone 11 won’t fit and I’m not sure my wife’s 12 Mini wouldn’t either (and it’s about as small as a modern, non-flip phone gets). Surely you don’t mean inside the fairing itself (as in removing the outer fairing and putting the phone inside with the HU)?

Google maps will fail to navigate if you're too far out of service as it will fail to download maps and map-related data. In those cases it's good to have a fallback. You can pre-download google maps, but it's nice not to have to deal with that. This will probably never ever happen to someone who sticks to major state highways and interstates, but it happens pretty commonly if you ride remote back roads in the westernmost states.

It seems expensive but, so does $38,000 for a new 2022 Ultra limited.

Just use Google Maps with your headset, it's free and more advanced in features, plus you can cache maps for when you out of range of cell towers. Garman and Tom Tom make the HD and BMW-branded GPS units. With Android Auto, you can project maps on any Android Auto enabled display head. You can also you RAM XGrip with a tablet or phone.

Guess it depends on where one's travels are going, down the road or across the country. I use my phone on my bars on occasion, but mainly to control my Gopro, turning the cam on and recording and such. I use myroute app, with carplay to my gts screen, which has offline maps, which has saved my bacon a number of times out in SD, NC, AR, backwoods, and other places where google couldn't get to me. I think you can download offline maps through google but gotta plan ahead for that because when the tower range is gone, then that's all she wrote.

I have not had any serious issues with my HD GTS Nav maps. It did get a little wonky in Chicago a couple of years ago, and there are some roads in the Nevada desert that it thinks do not exist, but it has gotten me around the country relatively safe.

I might just check into that update.

I did both of my GM Nav updates last year when they were on sale for $99, and was happy with the new software, hoping the HD upgrade is as good ?
