Boom GTS GPS Routing
Boom GTS GPS Routing
One of the issues I had with the old Harley Navigation is, when I would create a route with multiple destinations the Navigation would break each destination into a separate trip. This was annoying as it was created as one trip with multiple stops or destinations. The workaround was to change each destination into a waypoint but then you lose the data of that stop on your route. Another way was to name each leg of the route with a number so you would know which one to pick after each stop. Either way, very annoying...I just want my trip to show each stop and not have to load a new map every time I stopped somewhere.
Has anyone used a multiple destination route on the new Boom GTS system? If so, can you have multiple destinations in a single trip?

So, two things I have learned. 1. You can push a route via Bluetooth from the H-D App and 2. The route does not split up on the new Boom GTS. I haven't tested it out but a friend of mine has. That makes me wonder, can you push a route from the H-D app to the Boom 6.5? If so, will it split the route into separate routes when you have multiple destinations?
Well, I have a great brewery tour mapped out and each brewery is a specific destination within one route. On ride planner it's one route, on my Garmin it's one route, when I upload to my Boom it splits into separate routes. This thing is the worst.
So, no one has figured this out? Working on a new route for the Bring it Home Rally and I have a couple of stops along the way. I want this to show up as one route when I load to the GTS. So far I haven't figured this trick out yet.

As far as I know the only way it will work is a route must have only one start location and one destination with all others set as way points. It would be easier if the waypoints could be named rather than just get numbered. Or the nav restarts the route towards the destination at you present location when restarting a route. As a work around with a large route I pause the trip when I need to get off the route. Although I have found the GTS will occasionally reset without the route loaded when the bike is turned off. I use Apple CarPlay too, but starting a route on a GPS app in CarPlay will end the trip on the GTS Nav.
It is a pain restarting the route since it wants reroute you to start at the beginning all the time. It can be done by skipping waypoints till you get to your location. Or choose a waypoint to start at when reloading the route, where having the waypoints named would be a help. Next trip I plan on writing out a list of the waypoint locations to make it easier to restart a route. Not optimal, but will help. For my use I think just having the ability to name the waypoints would work since the GTS still announces approaching waypoints.
I'm not sure how serious Harley is on improving the iPhone Ride Planner app, but they do have an "App Feedback" link we can use in hopefully getting these issues addressed making the app and GTS Nav more useable.
