Pre-2018 is entirely different. They are Garmin units. Updates are at Garmin.com/goldwing. Unfortunately, there hasn't been an update in years and probably won't be.
Read thru the update description. Looks like just a map update, nothing about addressing the other multiple complaints and glitches. Oh well, we'll try it and see. 🙄
On the Update page when you "check" the latest version number, Honda still lists:
-- HG.ACM.20.04.08.10.28.00
The Nav system version on my 2023 Wing, is:
-- HG.ACM.21.11.28.12.04.00
Hopefully, they just neglected to update the website page info!
Would be interested to see what version you guys end up with on your bikes after this upgrade... Who knows, I may actually need it too.
HTH
Except for the logograms, looks like Garmin's old tech from previous (and current) Zumo iterations. Nice to see Mother Honda making an effort to upgrade an otherwise lackluster nav system.
Just downloaded the update and loaded it on my USB. Plugged it in, followed the directions, 15 minutes,,, done.
I searched for my sons new house in a recently built subdivision and all the new streets were there. I am happy.
If you scroll all the way down to the bottom, you'll see a place to enter your email and other info so they can contact you when there are updates. I think I did that, but I'm not positive. Anybody else do this and not get contacted?
Brand new 2023 GW DCT TOUR.
No update needed for this bike, but I figured I would check.
PS. The bike didnt like a 32GB thumb drive and/or formatted OS Extended with GUID Boot Record (Apple MACBOOK) - so I used a 16GB drive, OS Extended and selected MBR for the boot record and while it worked that time, the update is the same that was on the bike when I bought it..
If you saw my post, I had issues with a 32GB card but it's unclear if it was the MBR type when I formatted it and/or the actual size of the thumb drive. 16GB for sure works and we can't use any less than that since the .iso file is around 9GB.
Where are you all finding this new update? I downloaded the .ISO and when my bike detected it, it showed the same 2020 version I already had: HG.ACM.20.04.08.10.28.00
Even the webpage says July 2020
