It may become necessary to remove or insert an SD card in your Honda Gold Wing (2012-2017) during troubleshooting or a map update. See Update the Maps on a Honda Gold Wing for more info on updating.

Removing and Inserting the SD memory Card(s)

The SD memory card containing map software and Navigation System software is located in the lower slot (1-b) of the Navi box (2) attached to the backside of the travel trunk. The upper slot (1-a) is for the SD memory card containing route share data (GPX data).

NOTE:

• The Navigation System is a precision device that can be damaged by static electricity
  • Before touching the Navi box, discharge any static electricity by touching a metal area of your motorcycle outside the travel trunk
• Do not use the SD memory card containing map software and Navigation System software to store route data

1. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF to remove an SD memory card containing map software and Navigation System software

2. Open the travel trunk cover

3. Push the latch (3) on the left side of the Navi box to open the cover
