Default Gps????

Just talked to a friend that has either an 08 or 09 SE EG - We were talking about GPS, I told him I had the Zumo and he should get one... He said his new SE came with a GPS built in??? So,,, is this option on the SE's ??

I don't know how long it has been on CVOs, but I have a 2007 CVO Ultra and it has navigation. Not the most user friendly, but it'll get you home.

The Harmon Kardon Navigation system is standard on the SE and a $1,000 pop as an option on others. It's a piece of crap and Harley should discontinue it and offer free upgardes to a real GPS. The HK has 3 CD's and is anything but user friendly. I keep it as a back up but I have a Garmin 660 with fairing mount. I had to modify the dash pad but it's far superior to the one Harley provides on the SE's

I find the Harley/HK GPS on my 08 UCSE3 works very well once you get used to it. I like it better than the moving map, just takes a while to figure out all the options, and you are not distracted with a moving map. It is more accurate than my Garmin in my car.

I have been all over Canada and the west coast, to Key West from Tennessee and had no problems whatsoever.

Why should Harley offer free upgrades? Does Garmin offer free upgrades? seems like I just paid almost $100 to upgrade one of my Garmin auto GPS, and $90 to upgrade my Goldwing GPS, and the Harley is more accurate using the 08 CD's.

My .02 worth.
