I upgraded to 1.20.1 yesterday and took a ride today. (2015 Ultra Limited, if that matters.)


I noticed that compass needle (orange portion, right ?) is not behaving correctly when I'm using the 'heading up' preference. It seems to get 'north' correct, but has east and west turned around ......... and other directions are way off, but I did not figure out the pattern yet.

The compass needle is driven by the GPS location and associated software, right ?

Please dont tell me this is related to my dealership removing the outer fairing to replace a broken speaker grill.


And sorry if I missed a prior discussion on this topic.

 

I haven't tried that option but I do want to see what it does.

 

I've always used 'heading up' - seems more natural to follow map directions that way for me.


I guess I could re-install 1.19.2, but hoping someone else can report how it behaves for them.


I forgot to check the basic N S E W that is displayed at the bottom of the non-GPS screens to see if its correct there or not.

 

Deleted do to incorrect info

 

Right ..... and the orange is not pointing in the correct direction for me.


I assume the compass is driven by the GPS, rather than some other device located under the fairing, right ?

 

That compass needle is a direction indicator.

From the manual:
Edit:
I obviously haven't updated mine yet, so I wasn't aware of the new function.
Ignore my post and carry on.

 

With the update, it works like a traditional compass regardless of mode. So the red pointer should always point to north.

 

So lets get back to my original question .........

For those who upgrade to 1.20.1, with the 'heading up' setting:

Is it working correctly for you ?


Cause its NOT for me.

 

It is no longer a direction indicator, it is now a compass...

"The heading directional display will now operate as a
traditional compass with the top representing the direction
ahead and the rotating needle shall point to the direction of
North."

And to answer the question, mine is working as it should.

 

So it I'm heading west, it makes sense for the needle to point east, since I"m using 'heading up' mode ?



Guess that explains it, but I kinda liked it when the needled pointed to the direction I was going.
