Harley tune files & Power Vision FAQ
Looking for a Harley tune file or a Power Vision tune? Basemaps.net is an online catalog of dyno-developed Precision Basemaps by dyno tuner Matt Smith. The word “basemap” here means a motorcycle calibration, not a map tile.
Find My Tune See Available Tunes
What am I buying on Basemaps.net?
This is a file only. It requires a tuner in order to use it. A Power Vision, MadLad Solutions interface, ThunderMax, HP Tuners, or any digital license is not included or sold by Basemaps.net. The tuning file you are buying saves time, and was developed from a real dyno tune, using exactly the parts listed on the basemap you chose.
Does a Power Vision license come with my purchase?
No. This is a file only. A Power Vision, MadLad Solutions interface, ThunderMax, HP Tuners, or any digital license is not included or sold by Basemaps.net. You need a tuner you already own in order to use the file.
What is a Harley-Davidson basemap?
On Basemaps.net a basemap is a dyno-developed Precision Basemap by dyno tuner Matt Smith — a Harley tune file you flash with Power Vision.
What Power Vision tune file formats does Basemaps.net sell?
Original Power Vision uses .pvt files. PV3 and PV4 use .djt. Find My Tune asks for your tuner so you see the matching Harley tune file format.
Is Basemaps.net a local dyno shop directory?
The dealer locator finds approved Pro-level dyno shops. The catalog is an online store of Harley-Davidson tune files you match by VIN and download.
Which Harley-Davidson models have tune files?
Big Twin families: Touring, Softail, Dyna, and trikes. Street Glide, Road Glide, Road King, and similar platforms are matched by VIN. Sportster and V-Rod are out of scope.
Is Basemaps.net a GIS or map-tile website?
No. Basemaps.net is a Harley-Davidson tune-file catalog. A basemap here is a Precision Basemap by Matt Smith, not an Esri, CARTO, or USGS map layer.
How do I leave feedback if I have a concern or want to give praise?
After you buy and download, sign in to your Basemaps.net account. Each purchase has Leave Feedback. Use it to rate the Precision Basemap, note a concern, or say what went well. That form is for quality review — it is not phone support and does not open a ticket.
What if Find My Tune has no file for my bike?
If the catalog has no match, join the Precision Basemap Waitlist on that empty-results screen. Leave your email and the combination you searched. We email a purchase link when that file is published. That is not a custom map emailed instead of a catalog file. Sportster and V-Rod are out of scope.
How do I use a free map token (free basemap credit)?
Sign in to your Basemaps.net account. When a free map token is on your account, your name in the top right corner turns green with a token count, a green “Free tune available” strip appears under the header on every page, and the Account page lists tokens ready to redeem. Then match your bike exactly as you would for a paid file: Find My Tune by VIN or browse the catalog, select the Precision Basemap for your tuner and parts, and continue to checkout. At the payment step choose “Use 1 free map token” instead of “Pay with card”, accept the agreement, and the download opens in your account with nothing charged. One token covers one basemap. The VIN, tuner, cooling, ECM and O2 checks still apply — a token never skips them. Tokens come from Lucky 7 (buy 7 get 1 free), buy 5 get 1 free for Pro-Level Members, or a credit added to your account by Basemaps.net.
What is a Precision Basemap?
A Precision Basemap is a Harley calibration created from a real dyno session by dyno tuner Matt Smith — not generated or made artificially. It is matched to your motorcycle, tuner, and installed components. JCES™ evaluates that combination against available files for instant 24/7 download. It is not a free stage-1 map and not the same file you get from a waitlist.
Why does Basemaps.net cost more than a basic map buy-in?
You are buying Matt Smith’s Precision Basemap, delivered instantly, in 29 languages — not a generic stage-1 and not days waiting for a technician email. The catalog includes specialized cam-swap and big-bore profiles that would otherwise mean a one-off custom job or towing the bike to a shop.
Does Basemaps.net eliminate the need for a local dyno shop?
Basemaps.net is an online catalog of dyno-developed Precision Basemaps. Use Find My Tune to match a file to your motorcycle. The locator finds approved Pro-level shops when you want a local technician.
Are Precision Basemaps created on a dyno or made artificially?
Every Precision Basemap comes from a real dyno session by Matt Smith, owner and architect of Basemaps.net. They are not generated, simulated, or otherwise made artificially. Each file is the calibration from that session for the exact combination of parts on the motorcycle that day — nothing turned down.
Who built Basemaps.net, and why?
Matt Smith is the owner and architect of Basemaps.net. He built it to help the entire tuning industry. The Precision Basemaps in this catalog are the files from his dyno sessions. Shops and riders use the same catalog instead of guessing at a generic file.
Do published Precision Basemaps pass quality checks?
Yes. Every file passes several quality checks in the Basemaps.net system before it is offered for sale. The catalog operating system applies the same matching rules to every published file so the same VIN, tuner, and parts combination is evaluated the same way.
Longer guides
These pages explain the product in rider language. They are not phone support, not a free stage-1 library, and not the same file as a waitlist or emailed custom map.

Where every Precision Basemap comes from
Every Precision Basemap on Basemaps.net was created from a real dyno session by Matt Smith, owner and architect of Basemaps.net — not generated, simulated, or otherwise made artificially. He built this catalog to help the entire tuning industry share those files.
Each file is sold as it was the day it was created, for the exact combination of parts on the motorcycle in that session — the real deal, nothing turned down. Before a file is offered for sale it passes several quality checks in our system. The catalog operating system applies the same matching rules to every published file so the same VIN, tuner, and parts combination is evaluated the same way.
