Default Boombox Speedometer Display
RE: 2017 Roadglide Special
Boombox display used to default to a large MPH display. I can't navigate to that function anymore. I think I tried everything. No info in the owners manual. Should I reinstall or upgrade software? Is this a common issue?
Thanks
sam

Interesting. I've seen that on a Power Vision before but never on a HD boom box GT.

You can display MPH in the left or right data fields while using the nav, but the display is by no means large.

^^This is the only on-screen MPH display that I'm aware of. Never seen what OP is referencing. Maybe he's confusing his Harley for his Camaro.

GTS Boom has the screen you're talking about, can't remember if the GT had it.

Looks just the readout you would expect on a digital speedometer In a new car. Am i the only one who has (or had) this function?

On the GTS push and hold the left thumb control on bar until the screen changes. Push it forward to bring up selection. Push on same control again and the digital speedometer screen appears.

I leave the digital screen up all the time even when using the GPS.

Was your mph display in the lower right corner of the screen? Don't know if your '17 is the same as my '16 but when I bought it (lightly used) there was a clock in my lower right screen. On the screen, close to the right side, and about halfway up the screen, is a small squarish box with some lines running through it. Click on that and you can change whatever is showing now to a speedo display--only shows mph, not a needle or indicator sweeping a clock like face like is on your regular speedo.
