2016 Rushmore Infotainment GPS Question

[garyg1957]

Purchased new a 2016 Ultra Classic, still trying to master the Infotainment GPS system....problem I am having is GPS is not recognizing POI that have been established for 3 to 4 years.  When bike was in for 1000 service I questioned the GPS, dealer claimed to have preformed update on system, is this update for the map or something else?  I believe the update went from 1.19.1 to 1.20.1, not certain if it is me or the unit, it is quite frustrating when you are low on fuel and GPS ask if you want it to locate closest gas station, you select yes and ride past 4 on the way to the one the GPS picks.  Anyway as usual I appreciate any and all comments on this topic.

Thanks -- Gman

POIs to my knowledge have been an ongoing issue with HD and these 6.3 infotainment systems since 2014 when released and have not been fixed.

You can get "missing" gas stations on an automotive GPS too so it is tough for me to criticize the HD unit for that.  Not all gas stations or restaurants, or motels will be in the data saved. I would like to know what parameters dictate if the business gets programmed in, but the cynic in me says it has something to do with money.

I would like to know that myself.  We were talking to the owner of a very rural BBQ in GA a while back, and told him our GPS showed us to him. He asked to see, and came out to the bike and I punched in restaurants and his name came up. He was happy as could be. Back inside he hollared "MA we're in the GPS".   For sure he didn't buy a subscription or whatever.

Getting added is free but you may need to notify the major mapping databases.

I guess the gas station was a bad example but was an example.  Here's another, I live in Edgewater, Fl and there is a Home Depot in New Smyrna (6 miles away), when I noticed it {GPS} wasn't locating POI I had to make a run to the local Home Depot and tried to do a search for the NSB location, it would only pull up the ones in Port Orange, Daytona and Ormond Beach.....all 20 plus miles away???
