Yes, the system IMHO is useless. Couldn't find a friend house 30 miles away, hell couldn't find the street let alone the house. Solution ? Apple Car Play and Google Maps.. works like a charm.

On my boom GTS, (with latest software update) I use the H-D app, go to "rides" then "where to" enter where I want to go like address, restaurants, or city's and then with the results (it found my buddies address in the hills of Central Wisconsin) then use the "send to bike" follow the promps on the GTS and done.
I think the H-D app is way more accurate at finding destinations than the GTS database as long as you have cell/wifi service. Maps and navigation are powered by "Here/Here We Go" and weather by "Dark Sky" works great, at least for me.
