This manual tells you how to export route files from MyRoute-app to your Harley Davidson Boom Box. These are for the most part translated from Harley Davidson's own manuals. 


Please note! There is a distinction between models from before 2019 and devices from the year 2019. For the latest models Harley Davidson has not yet made manuals available and so we cannot share them with you.  


We would like to give you the following tips in advance:

  • Always create routes that you will use on your Harley Davidson Boom Box on the HERE map in the MRA route planner;
  • For more information on exporting and 'saving as' in general, see General information about 'export' and 'save as';
  • For more information on creating, using and adding POIs, see our Manual POI's.
  • For specific videos about different navigation systems you can always check out our Youtube channel.
