Getting Started

This section is designed to give you a
quick overview of your Navigation
System before you begin playing with it
on your own. Again, we recommend
reading the entire manual, but reading
this section will definitely accelerate
your learning curve. (Also see Glossary,
System Messages, and Troubleshooting
on pages 140-148.)

System Overview

While Not Riding Your Motorcycle
With your motorcycle not in motion, you
can use the right fairing panel controls to
create and edit a route, obtain
information, and setup screen displays.
While Riding Your Motorcycle
While your motorcycle is in motion after
entering your destination in the system,
you can use the left handlebar controls,
check the map screens, and listen to the
voice guidance. The right fairing panel
controls become disabled. Even if no
route is entered in the system, you will
still receive some useful screen and
voice guidance information while riding.

System Functions
There are three ways to find/designate a
location you want to travel to or save as a
favorite for future use.
• Find menu (see page 97)
• Route menu (see page 119)
• White Arrow Point Locator feature
(see page 51)
After finding your destination, direct the
system to:
• Create a route to your destination.
(You may only enter one route at a
time in the system. You may
overwrite an existing route.)
• Edit your route to add vias (stops
along the way).
• Reroute your journey to express a
preference (speed vs distance) and up
to four elements to avoid.
• Include a detour in your current route.
