Mapping Software?

What mapping software do you guys use to plan your trips on the PC?

My GPS on my old bike was a TOM TOM Rider and I used Tyre for it. I have no idea what works best with the built in GPS.

I am the guy who always ends up mapping out our rides so I need something user friendly.

Using my Garmin or the Infotainment GPS on my CVO, for 5 yrs I've used the Harley Ride Planner... just save it as .gpx file and import it by data cable or Flash drive.

Tyre works fine with the HD system. I primarily use it and ride planner.

Just set your route then save it as an HD file using the selector. Make sure to zoom in on waypoints to be sure they are on the road to avoid skipping waypoints on the HD.
Can also share routes with friends through the site so anyone on the ride can download the route.

Same here. I've tried basecamp and found it to complicated for my small mind.
Harley route planner is also free.
