Default GPS Question

I used my home feature for the first time the other day. I was about 1 hour from my house I hit the go home button. GPS said it would take me 2 hours, so I looked at how it was going to take me. It had me going to my house then turn around and go back to where I was when I hit home. Tried it a couple more times and it does the same thing. Anyone else have this?

2015 FLHTK the stock radio GPS, hit home and it does a round trip to my house and the point where I hit it to go home. Why. I just want to go home. Every GPS i have ever owned when you hit home it sent you there and that was the end of the trip, not to turn around and go back to where I was. Am I missing something?

Yes you're missing something in your settings!

Go to settings then Nav Uncheck roundtrip.

Can't say that will work since I'm a 8trk guy not a computer guy. lol...

Once you get 'home'...just stop riding, since it is where you wanted to go anyways.

I don't like Harleys navi. I would much rather use the Garmin. Even when I know which road I want to take it is taking me another route.
