Are you referring to 'planning functions' that are available in the Zumo, but not in BOOM ?
I've been able to use BOOM navigation pretty well, but do have to accept some quirks now and then with some of my more complex .gpx routes.

I'll be the first to admit the BOOM nav is not perfect. But I've grown used to it. I have planned MANY routes on my PC using Tyre and MyRouteApp (I also use the phone app) and imported the GPX files into BOOM. I had never done that with my Zumo before, but I do occasionally import routes into my Zumo for car/truck use.
If by 'planning' you meant 'importing GPX files', I use it all the time with BOOM. My main BOOM gripes are waypoint limits (I've re-created most of Route 66, which is a TON of waypoints) and 'skip waypoint' shows longitude/latitude rather than the waypoint name SOMETIMES !
I'm not familiar with the features of a Zumo 590, so there might be some great, new features that I'm not aware of.

It definitely has some hang ups but works pretty good once you learn/accept it for what it is. I have found you can save the gpx for ride planner etc, then name the waypoints as you wish. Rode 20 years without nav and have learned to like it
