Does anybody know how to turn off the unverified road pop up on an '06 wing?

I have an 08 wing csc 2010 conversion, just got back from a 9600 mile trip to alaska, my recommendation, carry some good maps with you, do online research on highway via google maps b4 you take a trip, then ignore that gps from honda, if I followed its directions I would have been in a LAKE b4 I left pennsylvania, the GPS STINKS, sad but true

I agree that the Goldwing Navi leaves something to be desired, but we are also using old, outdated data and software. I talked to Garmin and they are coming out with a new version of both for us the 3rd quarter of this year. I'm going to shell out the $149 and give it a try as I really like having the onboard Navi. If you want to check it out, go to
https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=10750#featureTab
Make sure you scroll down and check to see if you are getting the newest version. As of today, it was still listing version 9. The one coming out next month is going to be version 10.

If you upgrade it would be great to get a report on its usefulness, honestly, on a 9500 mile trip to alaska I was disappointed in its ability to accurately describe the road I was on,,seeing the it was the TRANS CANADA HIGHWAY the main way across that country you would think it would be more accurate in its directions. am heading to key west in november, thinking of packing my nuvi just in case it starts the UNVERIFIED ROAD when I am on I-95

Once you get off the tollway in Florida City no GPS required to get to Key West. Just follow the yellow brick road. Now getting to Florida City is a different story.

TMig...Love Key Largo. Many fond memories of visits to my Cousin Gene's place there over the years. Since he passed, his wife Connie and his kids have kept the place up as a getaway for friends and family...Ya gotta love La Famiglia!

I'll do that and let you all know if it was worth it. In the mean time, though you probably already know this, I normally just disable the audio portion of the NAVI so I don't have to listen to it's announcements and just use it to glance at the screen from time to time. It's still kinda like a nagging wife, but at least it's easy to ignore.

Yup thats what I do as well, the wife comment was:behave:just wrong, i sure would update mine if I was confident it would be truely up to date, that said its still nice to have a on board unit, heck I bought it with nav for a reason:yes:

You read more into my post than I intended. I never implied that "I" have a nagging wife. Quite the contrary, she is a dream and I adore her entirely. (Except when she grabs the key to the trike and takes off!!!!) I was just referring to what I have read in posts of less fortunate husbands as you and I.
