Does anyone know if you can choose fastest, scenic or shortest like on the bike when you use Ride planner? I like to use scenic or twisty for my routes but on line seems fastest is the default.

 

I believe fastest is the default - but you can drag to change your route.

Another suggestion might be - put the route in the bike, then change the GPS to scenic.

 

No you can not. In my experience, when you export a trip created in the Ride Planner, it only exports your destinations and waypoints. Your setting on the GPS (Shortest, Fastest, Scenic, or Twisty) then determines the route between those points. It's kind of frustrating at times because you are thinking you will be taking the Ride Planner route and then the GPS diverts you because of the settings.

 

That would be nice if it did that, i will fave to test that out. It would only be frustrating if you forgot

 

What I want to know is if anyone has noticed a difference between the same mapping using those different options. I have not. It seems to take the same route no matter what.

 

I spent some time playing with the ride planner yesterday afternoon. I built a route using no highways and saved it to a flash drive.

When I uploaded it to the bike, like others have said before, it just took the destination and chose the fastest route. I then changes the settin on the bike to avoid highways and it re routed to what I had done on the ride planner.

Not the most efficient system but if you know about it ahead of time, it's not that big of a deal. At least not to me anyway.

 

I don't have the GPS so have to export. I was looking for the setting on ride planner where you can pick twisty, scenic and realized (at least I think) that you are talking about the actual GPS. I wonder why the application doesn't have that option.

 

JaneK - I have switched between fastest, scenic and twisty - there is a difference.
