Went on a 2 hr trip and it gave wrong directions at least 6 times telling me to turn left when I was supposed to go right. Thankfully I was somewhat familiar with the area and knew the general direction I had to go. If I was in a strange area, I would have been screwed!!!
USB works just fine... I actually prefer it to having to deal with setting up the WiFi to reach my garage.

Ive noticed that various fields are greyed out until you wait a few seconds. Try that, the field will eventually accept input.

Ok. I'll wait a little longer. Thank you.

It's not the worlds best system by any stretch, but it's never failed to get me where I need to be either.
Could it be better, sure. Is it the piece of crap people make it out to be, not even close.
If the nav is really that bad and the radio is no better than tons of people would have torn them out and went with aftermarket head units for better sound and used their phone for nav. A few have done it but nowhere near the number that removed the old hk radios.
If half the people that whined would read the manual and use the thing a few times they'd find it no better or worse than other systems, they all have their quirks. The thing has been out there for 4 years, no one should be surprised that it's not perfect at this point. Shut up and go ride. If you really hate it that much tear it out and replace it with whatever system makes you happy. Damn whiners.

I'm lucky, I guess. to have been born back when you were required to read road maps and decide on your route yourself if you wanted to go somewhere. Thanks to that fact, I've never used my NAV and never will. No interest whatsoever in learning how to use it, either.
AFAIC, it's just a super-expensive brick in the fairing on my bike. I've never been sucked in to the high-tech-addiction-scene and I consider myself to be extremely fortunate in that respect.
Love everything else about my '15 Limited, though. Didn't buy it for the BS electronic whiz-box or any of its features, anyway, so I'm good with it.
