Harley 2014 gps unit

[GARYD]

1. For the most part I like the H-D GPS unit, but I do have a few issues with it and wanted to see if there is a fix or am I doing something wrong.
   
   1. Can you switch to a QWERTY keyboard - would make my life easier.
   
   2. Can "Saved" destinations show distances from current location instead of haveing to find alphabetically? I would like to know the next closest address (from my Saved List) to where I am locally. Garmin did that = listed favorite locations by distance to present location.
   
   3. Finding a place by longitude and latitude. I have no problem entering the degree, but it won't let me enter the correct numbers (according to a website I use) for the minutes. It's not just one or two locations but all of them. I have no problem entering the info to my Garmin Zumo.
   
   4.
   
   Can I add 10 or 20 addresses on my computer with a GPS program like BaseCamp/MapSourse or H-D Ride Planner, then copy those to a thumb drive, then connect that to the USB port on the bike and save those addresses to the "Saved File" and then remove the thumb drive - or - do I have to add all the addresses while sitting on the bike running down the battery? Hopefully not when it's raining.
   
   In other words can I add a bunch of addresses to the bike while sitting in comfort in my house or motel room???
   
   Thanks for any assistance. Sure wish Harley went with Garmin.

Well, this weekend I found a solution to my problems - most of them.
I took my H_D Zumo 660 and the car adapter and stuck it on the gas cap then hooked it up to the powerlet on the fairing. I first stuck it on the windshield, but it was to shaky and I was affraid it would shake loose.
Now I have all the functions of the Zumo - except the audio is not very loud. I could plug in a headphone, but don't want to do that.
I will use it as a back up for the H-D GPS. They are both pretty close route wise although a little different. They both do get you to the "same" destination.

It's a pain to have to load 2 GPS units, but for the first trip I'll make an exception and see if what I want to do for future trips can be done with just the H-D unit.
