Did you guys mess around with the new planner yet? I was trying to this morning and noticed a few things.
I cant make round trips anymore. The new system wont allow me to use the starting point as the ending point. I would understand if I only had two locations, the computer might have trouble doing that, but I entered multiple locations (as opposed to way points) and it still is not letting me set the starting location and the destination as the same place. Oddly enough - the system has no problem with my saved routes from the OLD planner that has the starting/destination points as the same thing.
Considering the all of my rides are round trips - even if they are spread out over a few days....this is inconvenient. If I'm doing a 5 day trip, it looks like im either going to have to create an entirely new route for each day, or do day 1-4 on one route, and have the 5th day as its own route.
A few other things I noticed, like not being able to change existing waypoints to locations and you cant add a location on the existing route anymore. You can add a location anywhere as long as its not on the orange line.
Nothing really major, but the round trip thing has me confused. It's annoying, but nothing I can't work around. The new system seems to be operating a lot smoother and easier, but I prefer the features of the old one so far. I had that one nailed down.

It is dumb. I dont know why it will recognize my saved trips from the old system with the same start/end points, but wont allow me to make new trips that way. Hopefully they'll fix it, but I doubt it.

i just tried to make a round trip with the same endpoint and it would not take it. So i used a location right next to the end point worked good that way.
another recommendation to Harley to fix on the new ride planner.

A number of issues that everyone has written about. Another bug is that you can longer print out a map with your destinations and the milage. It will only print the directions and even then hard to figure out when you reach each destination. Hopefully they work out all the bugs!!!!!
