Default 2018 FLTRU nav and map versions

Folks, this bike was manufactured in March of 2018.

Are these really the most current versions? Map database 2 years ago?

Welcome to the world of Naviextras and HD’s GPS system. This has been brought up a bunch when people post a thread asking if paying the $150 for the update when it comes out is worth it. It’s almost always noted that people buying new bikes are coming with that same “update” however it’s always 2 years behind. Not sure what the hell takes so long to build an update that is actually up to date.

They need to just license their damn GPS info with Google so that they can update the software multiple times a year for a way cheaper price.

Here’s what I see for the current North American version (non-CVO). It does show MY2018 but I don’t know how to find the software name like in your second pic. The Model Year might be updated each year with POI’s but the actual road info doesn’t.

Then again, I may be totally wrong! Lol.

OK, thanks - can you tell me how you navigated to get what you're seeing?

Setup/Vehicle information/etc - can do? THANKS!

Never mind. Now its saying "NA-MY2018". Go figure.

I did need to update the system software, but that's unrelated

Huh. Strange beasts I tell ya! I navigated through the naviextras site as a guest and didn’t even put in a specific model, just passed that step and was able to see all of the updates.
