I just recently tried using it. I didn't like the way it would adjust the route on me when I was selecting where I wanted to go. I tried changing a few parameters and it still did it.

I ended up using Google Maps.

I don't need no stinkin' planner to plan a ride. I'm like Brando in "The Wild One".

"Maaaaan... (snaps fingers)...We just GO!"

It was a PITA when I tried it a month ago - went with mapquest.

i have been using it for a while now to set up some rides for Laconia this year. I just finished one last week. I make sure I zoom in close then add the 2,nd 3rd points as location. after its all done i change the location to way points so it loads as 1 ride on the gps. works for me every time. it could be also that im on it refining the rides I already have on it. Even though I know my way around Laconia like the back of my hand, I now have some alternative routes that I have never found. I just finished a covered bridge route that will be my first time finding these bridges. I have been going to NH for 15 years and never knew where the bridges were, Now I have them on the gps if i want to check them out. I think its just the more you use it the better easier it gets.
