To all Garmin GPS owners,

I would like to find out if there would be any interest in displaying HD Store locations using the Garmin GPS unit? It would not be hard to extract the latitude/longitudes from the HD Find Dealer interface and reformat the data for import as a Point of Interest (POI) into the Garmin. Just cannot justify the work for just myself but if others want it, I would get on it.

No rain.......somewhere on this site there is a link to download all the Harley dealerships nationwide.  Of course there would be interest if for no other reason than to find one in an emergency situation.  Not sure where that link is at but you might try a search. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Being new to GPS, I'm not sure how to get it from the link into my GPS?

It's been interesting reading all the reviews and feed back on GPS last night and this morning.  Some say that the GPS is not always right and that you have to sometimes go with your gut insticts..........while others say that you have to learn to trust and believe the GPS that it'll save you time.  I almost wanted to make a sexest reference here.........but I'll be nice.

JC;

The file no-rain posted will download the locations to your GPS as waypoints. With the 2730 you also have the capabilities to download them as custom points of interest (POI's). It's a little better (IMO) as you can then do a search to find the closest etc.

PM me if you want the files & I can e-mail them to you.

I completely agree with Steve that it would be better to import the location as POI. Steve can you make this file available for all of us?

Thanks,

P.S. Here is the complete US waypoint file that I merged using the data from the website in the above post.

No problem, I tried to post them, got an "invalid file format" message. If anybody wants them, PM me w/ your e-mail addy & I'll zap 'em to you. These files work w/ the 2730, not sure about other models.

Just download the GBD file from the website for the states you want and then double click on it. This will bring up the MapSource interface. You can customize the symbol by doing the following:
