Don't expect recent road and business info to be updated quickly. Once something changes the mapping data supplier has to survey it and make changes to their base maps prior to supplying those to HD for distribution. Its not usual for that process to take a year or two. I would hope HD supplied whatever is the latest from the map data supplier with a new model. My wifes car unit is still not correct for items changed 5-10 years ago which is totally frustrating if looking for a business or traveling anything but major highways.

I don't know man. Seems like a lot folks on here are just happy to roll over and let HD get over on them. Not trying to sound like a hard ***, but damn.... I work hard for my money, and it sure seems to me that HD didn't keep these bikes priced at the 2012 level. So what is wrong with expecting to get what you paid for? If everyone who has "this issue", or "that issue" with thier bike, decides to just say oh well, then #1, your not getting what you paid for, and #2, your not holding HD accountable to deliver the product you paid for. I've never asked for anything free in my life. I pay my way every step of the way, but I sure as hell am going to get what I paid for. Flame on!

Most manufacturers charge for GPS updates. It's quick easy money. This is one reason I prefer my Garmin GPS. Updates are free. I can also move the unit between my two bikes and snowmobile.

Many have become complacent. Some are quick to say companies have recalls and defects. This is bullshit. Folks need to push back. If they don't, the quality of goods and services, including Harleys, will not improve.

Got the bike out Saturday for 150 miles in the varing temps of 45-52 and had a ball on the back roads. Likeing this bike more and more as I get to ride it.
That said, I noticed in watching the Nav some, several new roads aren't there. I was going to research it, but my buddy already had - My brand new 2014 motorcycle comes with 2012 maps and if you would like to upgrade to the latest its 150 bucks from the website. Nice play Harley. So now if I want the Infotainment center to be top notch and work like advertised, I only need to upgrade the maps to the NOW time frame for 150 bucks, bike to bike CB for 400.00 and oh yea, the headset and connection adapter so the phone works.

nothing is priced the same as it was in 2012. but just for comparison sakes, a 2012 ultra with abs/security was msrp $22694. a 2014 with the same options is msrp $23,644. a total price increase over 2 years of $950. to put it further into perspective, a 2010 ultra in vivid black with abs and security was msrp $22214.00, and that was with a 96ci engine. look at the difference between the 2010 model and the 2014 model and tell me if you think its worth $1430.....
