Default WOW Updated navigation maps

HD comes through again. Went to the dealer to have my navigation maps updated. They told me that is the only update they cannot do. Went online watched the videos. Google and YouTube are great. Took about two hours. Mainly downloading and uploading. Corrected my outdated street map issue. Freeways here had some major ramp changes! Here is the kicker. $150.00 for the upgrade. It seems expensive but, so does $38,000 for a new 2022 Ultra limited.

Just confused, Seems that you have a GTS, why in this world would you pay for Navitrex ? Waze-Google and Maps, 3 different up to date maps.

The Navitrex update is outdated, Waze is live, and google gets frequent updates OTA.

I am also perplexed at guys with GTS and who still have their phones on the bars, WHY ? smh.

This one I can understand. Maybe they don't have Car2Play (or similar) and/or haven't run a USB cable somewhere like a bag or TP. Phone needs to be connected to enable CarPlay (not sure about AA)

Unless he's using an iPad I am still perplexed , I don't know what bike he/she has, but almost every phone fits in the bat wing, and if its a RG everything fits, maybe he's not aware he has CarPlay capabilities, but once he figures that out he will realize that $150 was a waste of funds.

Ok I don't update my maps because I use back roads most of the time anyway. But the car plaything is of some interest to me. So, if I plug my phone into the thing in the bat wing I will get Car Play 2019 Ultra Limited.

Yes! If you have the latest update.

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