Default Ride Planner

I have planned a trip on the ride planner APP passing through different cities.

I saved the ride with a name. On both the APP and the PC it shows nice.

When I import the ride into the Boom Box GTS (either via the APP or via the USB pen), instead of saving the single ride with a single name it saves different pieces of the ride making it very difficult to manage.

What am I wrong?

I discovered that if I design a ride without any waypoint in the middle the ride is taken as a single element and integrally loaded into the BOOM GTX. If I introduce some deviations/waypoints in the middle of the created ride the outcome loaded into the BOOM GTS is a sequence of segments, instead of a single ride. How can I avoid this?

Simplest way to explain is there should be only one start and one stop per ride, which is a route. Create everything else along that route as a waypoint and make sure you are zoomed in on the road when you drop the waypoint.

If I do not want to follow the ride designed by the APP because, for instance, I want to follow another path, oblige me to insert some waypoints. Having on the Boom GTS a large number of segments based on the inserted waypoint is confusing a lot because you need to remember the correct sequence and also you neeed to load segment by segment in order to be driven on the way. To me that's very bad!

Maybe carry a printed 8x10 map of your route for the day off Google. Make it wide enough to cover other areas you may want to visit.
