Use the update client on your computer with the PV plugged in to the USB

Dealer loaded a map that fit my changes . Bike runs fine. Last night I began the reading and learning more about how to use it and the other things it can do.
I see it being a useful tool. Not the type to mess with my tune once I get it right but I can see where being able to load a different map pretty much on the go could work well for some.
Latter I plan to mess around with the Auto tune and see how it goes.
From what I can tell so far I got what I paid for, it does what it claimed.

I bet that you will end up REALLY liking the PV.

PV, TTS, and SEPST are all flash tuners and one can do SSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more with them than the old style piggy backs. Once you get in there and get your 'hands dirty' your bike will run so much better.

Still playing with my Power Vision. Finding it is simple to use for basic stuff.
The videos on the Power Vision web site are helpful.
Updating is simple for the unit.
Changing maps is quick and painless.
I only have 200 miles on the bike right now so I am going to stick with a canned map that is very close to my pipes and Intake. Rack up a few miles I'll play with the auto tune and see how it goes.
I may mount it on the bike I see they sell a nice mount for RG's and at the price they are proud of that peace of steal .

I bought a PV from FuelMoto and use it for both my bikes. I love the ease of use and the free unlimited maps as I make changes to my bikes. Both bikes are running great. I'm getting ready to use a 3rd Fuel Moto map on my Road King once I get my new header pipe installed.

Jfarrar, my bike doesn't run nearly as well while in auto tune. I read somewhere that the timing is knocked back during the process. If that's true, it might explain it.

Remember a basic tune is exactly that, basic. You'll be pleasantly surprised!

I used to use TTS (since 09) My scoot has never performed as good as it does with PV.

To be fair to TTS, I'm sure its great if your spinning a drum but for the DIYer PV has been simplified and the end results are amazing.
