I just loaded new maps onto my GPS but my Dealer info is still old. Does anyone know where I can get the latest information on Victory dealers for my GPS?

Haven't seen an update to the dealer list in many moons and the old one is wayyyyyyy obsolete. Would be nice if Victory, who are in the best postition, I think, to know who and where their dealers are,would publish a new list in GPS format. Does anybody know if there is a current dealer list in the GPSes Victory is currently offering as an accessory?

The newest Garmin Zumo 660 that Victory sells does not include any reference that I found to having the Dealer List stored. That would seem to indicate that they don't do that anymore. As a side note, the Zumo features page indicates that the unit is no longer audio compatible with the 08 and 09 Visions. Great planning by someone - built-in obsolescence.

The map that Teach posted does not show the dealer in Branford, CT and the first time I was there was 3 months ago. Not sure how long they have been open at that site. Just saying cause we won't know the latest closings on the map. Hold onto that 1-800- come tow my arse home number.

I got my Zumo 660 working with my 08 but had to custom build the modified cable listed in this forum. The sound out-put is not really what I would like, but I will be using Bluetooth most of the time anyway.

That's what I call 'not compatible', when the consumer has to hack the cables and chance a less than good outcome or reduced performance.  I don't know whether this is more a Garmin induced problem or Victory or equal, but it is in both of their interests to have provided a reasonable upgrade path with an adapter or similar resolution.  More owners would consider the upgrade if a simple path was available vs. having to splice cables and hope for the best.

I dont know if you will ever get a 100% update on all the dealers.
With dealers dropping here and there you never will now if its current. Even when you look up dealer locator on the Vic site it doesnt know that some have closed.
It still shows 3 in my area around Chicago that are not there anymore.
