Riding to MV today ... Was heading west on turnpike and the red needle was pointing to the right then heading south the red needle was pointing down??

From the 1.20.1 update:

 The heading directional display will now operate as a
traditional compass with the top representing the direction
ahead and the rotating needle shall point to the direction of
North.

In many car nav systems, it allows to change your heading from "always pointing north" or  "Direction of Travel"
Is there an option here perhaps?

There was..I have not checked lately...but there was a setting that the NAV arrow always points up whichever way you are going. That was prior to the latest update. it was set like that when I got the bike almost 2 years ago.

I did the upgrade and my directional display is still the same as it was before.  It does not look like a traditional compass.  I tried looking for a setting, but couldn't find one in the setup.  Is there a setting for the directional display?  Thanks.

there is an option to change your display. North up or something else. It was under setup, navigation, display.

I like to run mine in the NORTH UP always mode.

Thanks.  I guess I won't be seeing the traditional compass.  I like the heading up.  Helps me on twisties that I'm not familiar with.

I looked at the nav setup and had to change from 3D to 2D, then that allowed the Compass pointing north option.

Looks like a circle with a small triangle.

I did this in the garage so i haven't ridden with it yet.

I am not an expert on the nav system so there may be more, but this did change the compass.

Question.  Once I have the updated loaded on my USB and in my bike, can that USB be used to update other bikes or is it unique to my bike only.

I believe it is unique to your bike only, hence the reason for the "fingerprint" before starting. But I am just guessing, I have no reason for my guess other than I cannot see Garmin or HD allowing someone to get a free update!

[dm930]

I would tend to agree based on the fingerprint.

[68 XLCH]

The fingerprint is what identifies your radio/bike and for the update, so another bike would radio/bike would have its own id and would have its own finger print authorization and couldn't use yours.

Thanks guys makes sense.

Just wanted to say thanks to Chuck (14CVOULTRA) and the rest for laying out this Nav Update for Dummies.  You made what appeared to be a very complicated exercise for us non technical individuals easy to follow and complete.  Did mine yesterday and for the first time in my life it seems like, everything went smoothly!

Would have been so much better if they would have just worked with Garmin instead of this NAVextras crap!
