[QUOTE=Buelligan666;21610005]Once you save your offline map. Open Google maps on your phone. Click the circle with your initial in it. Then scroll down to offline maps./QUOTE]
Thanks again Buell. I've used offline maps no problem. In fact, I just used it offline this past Christmas when I was down in Florida for a couple of weeks. Us Canadians get hammered with roaming charges when we travel to the US so I primarily use wifi and offline maps whenever I'm there.
Don't want to hi-jack the OP here but as mentioned, the problem I've had in the past is saving a route on my desktop and then getting it to show up on my phone. I'll have to try again.

That's okay. We are so far off track of the fact that the embedded navigation software is available for download that it is irrelevant.

Thanks lowbar. The only point I was originally trying to make is that I like & use the embedded nav on my GTS headunit. If I had a new bike with Skyline, I would be using it as well...regardless of the annual cost.

Traffic and weather is via WiFi since it's live but only works on 5g capable phones, Waze covers traffic.

I should have included that that 399 price to me just can't overcome what you guys have described regarding your phones....the phones seems to be the winner.
Thanks for the examples. They are pretty sharp

i figure if i'm spending ~$30k on a bike, another $349 is not gonna kill me. and from what i understand, the initial cost will get you a subscription to the weather/traffic for 3 years. after that, you'll still have the embedded nav, just no weather and traffic. presumably no map updates either. but i'm still running the same maps that came with my bike in 2019, and the same map that came with my truck in 2016. poi's are usually free updates, and the other stuff i have never had an issue with.

I have mine in my right hand cubby. But with Autosky (wireless CarPlay), it could just as easily be in a saddlbag or tour pak. The point of CarPlay is to display iPhone applications on the bike's display screen, not sure why you'd be fumbling with your phone. You can use the hand controls to navigate the screen when using CarPlay

The weather and traffic requires an Internet connection. So you still have to use your phone to allow Internet connection to weather and traffic. The same phone you could run waze on and do everything in one app. Displayed on the bike screen.
