Default GPS question

I will be renting a new Ultra in the near future and I need some information on downloading my existing Garmin routes to the new built in GPS. I downloaded the audio system manual (2014-Boom-OM-EN.pdf). I'm not sure if I have the correct document but man this one is useless regarding GPS information.
Does anyone have experience with this new device? Can you slip in a sd card and download gpx routes?
Is there a better manual I can download?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you
Gerry

Don't screw around - just use your Garmin

Harley dropped the ball on this one. The GPS in the 2014's is very limited. Nothing like your Garmin. It is limited to 9 via point, way points (everyone calls the same thing some thing of their choosing). Check your routes and I will bet $$$ that none of them is 9 or less. Probable 50 or more. You can plan a route and transfer it to the radio via a thumb drive but make sure it has 9 or fewer via points or the radio system will go nuts.

Lots of info in this limitation on line just do a search on 2014 Infotainment system.
