Brian, on the rare occasion I take it with me in the truck I have the voice prompts.

Thanks for that naitram. After reading the description @ moccsplace it appeares to me the files are a collection of modified waypoints to all the HD dealers for the gps. I surmise that the memory would be sacrificed from the description that is given using this method. I really didnt see much memory gain from dumping my original hd database, it was more a mistake on my part. from what you loaded what kind of memory is sacrificed from state to state or whould it be practicle to load the whole United States from your experience?


i tried loading them all and it wouldnt fit  :'(
right now i have all of the new england dealers loaded and it doesnt seem to take up much space, i think the problem is there is a limit to the number of waypoints you can have saved on the unit

Also, I would stay away from the lighter plug/speaker supplied with the 26xx's.

Black Dog, the poll up top seems pretty one sided.  That notwithstanding has this thread been helpful for you getting options sorted out?

Definitely stay away from that lighter/speaker plug supplied with them for use on the bike.

Am running a Street pilot III for about a 1 1/2yrs now and love it big sceen(not touch screen) and can use it wearing gloves.  Have it hard wired to the cigarette lighter inside the fairing.

mr_magoo,

In the hardwiring of your gps, where do you make the connection inside the fairing and where do the wires emerge.?  Also, do you use an airplug to hear the voice prompts?  I have the same unit and have been plugging it into the lighter itself.  I am not happy with that due to the chaffing that has ocurred.  
Thanks

mr-magoo,
I use this on a roadglide.  I too attach the unit to the left side of the handlebars.  The problem arises when the stock power cord touches the left side glove box as it travels from the cigarette lighter to the unit.    Is the lighter hot only when the bike or asscessory position is turned on?  Any advantage to hooking it to one of the blank assessory swtiches on my fairing?
Thanks for your help

Went there and have a question, do the Amish ride harley's?


No, they would ride a Triumph.  To them all bikes would be English.
