OK, progress is good. Here's a few examples you should be able to duplicate.
When in edit, hovering mouse over location gets this -
left click on balloon gets this -
right click gets this -
moving mouse even slightly while clicking gets this -
(left click w/minor motion = name location popup, new location made)
(right click w/minor motion = change to waypoint popup, new location made)
If you accidentally add a new location, use the undo function -
I'm using a Lenovo ThinkPad running Win7Pro64bit os & Google Chrome -
I have no experience if using a newer or different os.
Well, I did the mouse click thing and it appears to be working like it should. I've been using this mouse, right click, left click, double-clicking, etc. for several years. I do some graphics work and software development with it. So I'd be surprised if that's the issue.
I might just make a new bogus route to see if I can ever get a waypoint to be a waypoint and not a orange balloon.
But time is getting short. We leave next Sunday morning for Yellowstone for 9 days of blissful camping. I went ahead and made the routes using BaseCamp (which I still have on my computer) and saved them as .gpx files. This evening after it cools off a bit, I'll plug the USB memory chip into the BoomBox to see if I get complete routes.
I had shared my Day One route with a friend. He shared it back to me after modifying it a bit like waypoints on wrong side of road, etc.
Anyway, when I open it from the link he sent to me and Edit, I can do everything needed! I can change the waypoints to destinations and back just like you've described.
But on the trip I created, I cannot change the points. I can drag and drop the route, but cannot change the points.
At this time, I give up. I made all 14 days using MapSource (easy-peasy) and saved them at .gpx files.
I'm home from a 9100-mile ride to/from Alaska on my 2017 Limited. I laid the whole thing out on Ride Planner. Overall, it worked very well, as well as Gramin units I had on other motorcycles.
The only thing I'd do differently is to check every waypoint on a zoomed-in map. I found that waypoints that were not EXACTLY where I wanted them to be created a few around-the-block diversions while I was riding. Otherwise, it worked well.
Just wanted to add my $.02. I have used The Ride Planner on the 6.5 GT Boom box for a couple years. The USB stick upload to the bike was always a pain but it always worked in the end. I recently upgraded to the newer GTS Radio.......still use the Ride Planner but have been pleasantly surprised that all you have to do is "send" the route to the Boom Box and it's done. I also very like that you can create a route from the hotel room or even out on the road and just "send" it to the bike. I have found the Ride Planner to be awesome. All in all.....it takes a little time to understand what it does.......but once you get through the learning curve I find it awesome.
Also adding my 2 cents. The ride planner for me has been a bit of a struggle. I have had issues loading the routes to my 6.5 GT Boom, issues with the actual routes etc. If I were HD, I would bail on trying to develop ride planning software, they are not able to match Google, Waze, Garmin etc. I would develop an interface that allows our mobile phones to run on the Boom, just like it works in my car. Maybe I want access to these features but I don't want my phone hanging off of an ugly mount on the bike with a usb cable flopping in the wind. Again, just MHO.
I'm still hoping for a GTS update that will offer Android Auto. If that day comes, and if it rises to my expectations, I'm gonna add a usb splitter from the faring and run it into the tourpack. Another mod that is on my list is to have the power port in the tourpack wired and fused "always hot". I use it to charge my phone and it would sure be nice...
