Default Harley Ride planner

Hi

I have had issues with the HD ride planner of late. You cannot drag a route to a new road any more. Called HD a few weeks back and still no fix. Anyone know of a similar ride planning program, Google maps doesn't seem to edit a ride plan very well either.

Yea the harley program ate my sturgis route a while back for no apparent reason.

Mapquest is a little tricky to learn but seems to be keeping things saved for now anyway.

I only use Tyre to Travel. It's free and very user friendly.

Tyre works with Garmin and Tom Tom to upload routes.

I love planning routes before the ride...and Tyre is a lot better than HD.

If you use Tyre, send me an email and I'll share a few tips to save you some time...especially when it comes to confirming the uploaded route does not get converted into something different by Google maps during the upload...and also using the preferences to set avoidances--to either select highways or non highways etc.

Good luck.

I saw this thread after starting one about HD Ride Planner. I've seen you recommend Tyre before so I d/l it. I can't believe how easy it is! There's things to learn, of course, but my first try was successful. I sent you a PM.

Yeah, I noticed that problem as well. I had to click the "right mouse button" to add a way point. After the way point is added you can drag it around.
