Searched and didn't see...how many Naviextra map updates do we get with a CVO?

[tpcrawford]

We get 3 FREE updates within the first 5 years.  Whichever comes first.

That is what I thought.  I did one update a bit over a year ago.  Went to do another one recently and it said I would have to pay.  Any suggestions on how to correct this so I can get my other 2 free updates.

That's a great question! I hope you (and all of us) find out. Sounds like someone in Romania is screwing with HD/CVO owners. It's reminiscent of my experience with Sirius XM. It was a total $hit show...three month free full trial with traffic/weather etc and it took 4 days and numerous calls ending up with a (so called) supervisor to FINALLY get it DL'd to my radio.

HD needs to kick ass on these off shore companies that are screwing over their customers...(good luck with that...) One can still hope though.

Let us know if you have success getting your second map set.

I just bought my 2015 CVO 2 weeks ago and the current maps in the system are from 2015. Has anyone figured out how to get the free update? How did you register for your free updates if you bought the bike new?

I'll pay the $160 for the update if I have to but if I can get it free I would rather do it that way.

I did mine every winter since 16, this year when I tried,  it said I already had the latest version. BUT! the 220/74 interchange north of Greensboro NC has been open close to 2 yrs and it still shows me riding off into the woods lol

No better here on the HD GPS.   Any road less than 3-5 years old is sometimes not included.  No rhyme or reason to it.  Phone GPS is most accurate.  HD map updates leave a lot to be desired.

Well after reading all the posts in that linked thread I went and got my figure print on a clean USB drive. Came back in a found out it would let me update for free. I fell asleep last night while it was still downloading all the updates. My system hadn't been updated since it was NEW!!!!

So I went out to the bike and it has been updating since about 10:40. I'll go out and check it here in a minute and see what it says.

Don't think HD is the only one. I update my Garmin I use in my work van every time one is available and there's streets 3 years old that aren't in there. Lots of manufacturers can't keep up with it.

Agree Garmin was no better when I had them.  Had miserable customer service from Garmin on MC units, do not plan to do business with them again.  Phone GPS is surprisingly accurate and mostly up to date.  May end up with a phone on the handlebars for GPS.

I have to disagree with the phone are most accurate. Was in Missouri last week, Phone (both Google Map & Waze, which should be the same) didn't show the road we were on. Garmin, which I had updated the Friday before leaving had no problems. Even my 3 year old updated GM Factory GPS was better than the phone, this could have been an isolated case but before I retired, used Garmin every day in my job for a min of five addresses starting late in 2004 with a 2825. I never had it make a mistake, unless I made one in entering the address. Had a few hardware problems which they handled very quickly by phone. I still think Garmin is top line company in the map routing field.

I live at the end of a gravel road and many of the GPS systems (don't know which ones) used by people both in POV's and commercial rigs come down to the end of my road and then have to figure out how to turn it around. I feel for the commercial drivers and every now and then someone towing a trailer. The mapping software shows my road connecting with a road that is 2-300 yards away. The fact that there is a cannel between us doesn't help. At the beginning of my road there is two signs telling people it is a dead end road with NO TURN AROUND. But people are too busy following their electronic devises to pay attention.

I'm a Jeeper also and have learned to only trust my electronic maps only so much.

Since I bought my new bike I now have a Road Tech that I need to sell and it is amazing how many people are giving me grief over not using a GPS anymore. I guess I am just old school plus I hate having my phone attached to my handlebar. My ex use to do that and her phone would shutdown from the heat.


I do appreciate all the help and advice given on here. It made updating my maps a LOT easier.

Nothing worse than HERE updates......at least 3 years behind, even at $150 cad an update.  And HERE also has me 'sneaking up on' some locations.......going a block or 3 out of the way and approaching from the other side.  Wrong names on some streets in Vancouver.......40 year old houses don't exist......have to go 'off-road' to get to my old house that's about 15 years old now.......telling me to turn left across a 20 year old meridian. .........

My Garmin might have a few shortcomings...but, is far superior to the HERE nav in my Jeep. The confusing part is that Garmin and HERE are linked somehow.

Reminds me.......gotta update the Garmin today.....
