My biggest gripe is the lack of bluetooth headset support. I've been able to work around it a little by using my android phone's bluetooth settings to direct media to the bike and phone to the headset. I'm definitely interested in pursuing the BT adapter solution. I want to be able to use the headset for voice commands and hear nav prompts. It would also be nice to see the caller ID info on the screen.
I also noticed today that it has no idea what north is if you look at the arrow on the top right. That one seems kind of important.

Yes, my bike will sometimes show north, but most of the time it just shows what it wants. Many times it shows N as S. In other words, the red arrow points south. I've even seen it show, while I'm heading true N, an interstate I know to be E of me on the left or W of me. If I was in an unknown area and lost, this POS Nav would not help me get found.

Sorry guys... safe to assume this was in 'Course (heading?) up' mode, not 'North up' mode? Thanks.

If you have it set to N up, and you are heading N. The Pacific ocean should be on the Left side of you no? Assuming you are in U.S. I guess in HI it would be on all sides of you.

The north pointer is a known issue according to other threads. I noticed that issue after the first couple of rides. If I travel north it points up to north, if I travel east or west it points south (should always point to north). Not sure what it does when I head south cause I don't pay any attention to it anymore. There is supposed to be a software update coming out soon (hopefully) on the HD website that is supposed to fix some more of the issues people are having.
I bought an expensive garmin GPS for off roading and it had lots of issues after first being released. After a couple software updates everything worked as it should, we just have to be patient and get the bugs worked out.
Also the time to final destanation only tells you time to next way point. Also would be nice to have posted speed limit show on gps. I guess once harley sells you a bike they really do not car what you think since their is no contact info anywhere on their web page

There is an option to do this, I just changed mine to show the time on the lower left corner and the current temperature on the lower right side. On the GPS face, tap the lower left corner or lower right corner (there's a small checkered flag there) and a list of options will appear and you can check speed...

I noticed the same thing, I just upgraded the software to the current version (1.17.1.1) last night and I'm hoping that solves that problem.
