I have a 2018 Ultra with the 6.5 info center. I have the HD Rideplanner app on my phone. I have found it very easy and convenient when on a trip to plot a route using my phone. Is there a way to import from my phone to the GPS either via Bluetooth or usb cable?

The only way to get the route to your GT system is to copy the route to a thumb drive, plug the thumb drive into your bike and up load the route to the bike.

There is a way. But I have the GTS so not sure if it is the same with your GT...

1. Plot the route in the Ride Planner, either in the app or desktop.
2. When the app is opened and the route is selected, there shud be an option to ' send to bike'
3. once selected, it will download onto Boom automatically the next time u turn the bike om...provided the phone is connected via bluetooth
4. Go into Nav and select search...u shud see HD App ...select
5. Find your route and it will download and save
6. You start route from there or go to Rides to select the route when you need it

Its actually easier and qiick than it seems in the steps I outlined.

Good luck

here is a snap of a test route on the app for reference....note the Send to Bike option on the bottom

That is exactly what I was looking for!!! My problem it would seem is that I don't have the "send to bike" button. I even un-installed the app and re-installed it. STILL NO BUTTON!! So frustrating.

I double checked the app and it seems downloading a route via bluetooth only works on the GTS (2019 & 2020) equipped bikes.

It appears the app recognizes your Boom system and might not display the ‘send to bike’ option if you dont have the GTS.

sorry man, the usb stick might be ur only option.

Thanks for taken the time to check into this for me. I just bought the bike back in August. When I asked the salesman about owners manuals, he went and grabbed a set off of a 2017 sitting on the floor. Being a different year I was hoping I had the "send to bike" option. Would make soo much easier when traveling. Again, thanks for your efforts.

All good man.

You can always go extreme and upgrade to a GTS. Pricey but worth it for some. Ive heard of guys getting it on ebay or other selling sites. New from dealer runs around 2k.

My buddy has a GT and is really considering an upgrade once he saw what the GTS has.

Price wont break him. His ride. If it makes him happy. I told him to go for it.
