Been using HD Ride planner for the past 12 years.. Works pretty well. My only issue is it only allows you to load so many days before the DB is full
I do have the phone mounted for google maps in conjunction with the Nav. Both have had seizures at different times so... I like to ride with both.

HD Ride planner and now Android Auto for a back up...but to be honest I never use the bike Nav cuz I just read the posted route signs or ask locals on my trips.
Its good to know I have the Boom Nav if I ever need it...I can see using it for dealer locations.

I don't have a Harley with the nav system. So I use Rever to plan and track my rides. Plan them on the computer at home and just use the phone on the handlebars for my rides.
Rever premium account lets you export in a .gpx file format for Harley nav systems. I've planned several rides for our Legion Riders and given the .gpx files to Harley riders.

On the bike I'm trying to stick with HD Ride Planner app on my iPhone since it integrates so well with the GTS. I like simplicity when it works. For long trips it has been working quite well setting up routes with the best scenic and twisty roads. When planning I use the HD Touring Handbook or other paper road maps to find the best scenic roads and put them into the HD Planner to create trips. The iPhone app makes it dead simple to get them onto the GTS. All other maps apps fail for planning in my opinion since the roads disappear when you zoom out which makes paper maps indispensable for the initial planning steps.
Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze come into play for local use to locate campgrounds, motels, and good food. When I want to conserve cellular data while roaming I rely on Maps.me. Maps.me allows for downloading maps data on wifi and I have found it has a very good data base for gas, motels, campgrounds and restaurants even when offline.
