Been using the HD Ride Planner for several years but all of a sudden I am having lots of issues with it. What programs are you folks using that is compatible with the Harley GPS .
I use InRoute. It only works on iOS, but Im happy with it. I load the .gpx file to a third:b drive, plug into the Bikes USB, then import it...and it works fine. Except the navigation has a mi;d of its own and sometimes decides to take its own route, and avoid some waypoints. I dont think thats due to using inRoute...but Im still trying to figure this out.
I use Ride Planner with google maps on the phone (Rokform mount).
I find I need both when one acts up. Also nice to make sure both are heading to the same spot.
You can get a free subscription/account. In the first 14 days they give you all the bells and whistles with hopes that you choose to keep/pay for some of the "extras". After 14 days, it reverts to their basic free package, but I have used the free version for years now transferring routes to a thumbdrive and then importing from the thumbdrive directly into Harley's infotainment system. I have used Harley's Ride Planner and switched because MyRoute-app IMO is easier to work with, with fewer issues. Just this spring, after years of using the free version I did purchase one of their paid subscription packages, but again the free version works well.
I use My Route App as well, but whether I use that or the H-D Route planner, I have similar headaches.
Just wondering if I'm the only one:
I lay out a route on my Mac, save it as a .GPX file, (in My Route App, I save it as a H-D 2019 version, because my bike is a 2020 CVO Street Glide).
I load it to a USB stick,
I upload it to the bike.
No problem with any of that, works smoothly all the time.
BUT-- When I go to actually ride the route, that's when I get all kinds of weirdness and errors. We all know the purple line is "the route". I get this thing where the purple line splits or takes two different routes at the same time. Were it not for the Way Points, I wouldn't know where to go.
I'm attaching some photos of the problems.
