I feel fortunate to be the owner of one of the 2009 10th Anniversary Visions #66. I love the user friendliness of the Garmin GPS 2820 that came with the bike. I have not been able to do a successful map update and I've bought the lifetime maps package from Garmin. I need to know if anyone has had any luck at all with a map update? I'm stuck with using the factory installed version of the 2010 maps as well as the Victory Vision Dealers Map from 2010 as well. When I follow all of the instructions and wade through all of the "no longer supported be Garmin Express" instructions, I end up being directed to select the "Garmin Mode" to do any software or map updates. When I'm selecting the option of "Garmin Mode" the unit keeps switching back to the previous screen and refuses to stat in the "Garmin Mode" for more than a second or two if that. Garmin's support ends up saying that the units can't be repaired and thay want to sell you a new one. It's bull crap! Has anyone been able to update their 2820 maps and if you have can you point me in the right direction?

I wouldn't be shocked if they no linger support that thing.. life time maps or not . I wunder what year they created that. I know I had the 2720 , 7 years ago .. that's pretty old in tech years

Garmin discontinued support of the Stereo pilot series last year. If you contact garmin customer support, they will offer up to 40% off on your choice of another motorcycle GPS.

Same problem. Emailed Garmin and they offered up to 40% off. M/C units are crazy priced. All that for waterproofing? They offered me 2 models for free. I got the 54 and bought the waterproof bag from Amazon. Made an adapter plate. Works fine for me. Sure the plastic window on the bag makes it tough to see sometimes but that happens with pricey units too.
