Folks you have solved so many problems I hope you can steer me right again?
I've got a 2020 Ultra Limited - and we are leaving on a week plus trip on Friday. I have legs for each day planned on the HD Ride Planner and transferred to the bike with my phone. (I was amazed at how easy that part worked.)
So here's the issue - When using the Ride planner or other pre-installed HD rides and you go off route for a bit - I can't get the danged system to "recalculate"- it seems to want me to go back the start and begin again. And surely I don't want to go back a couple of hundred miles...
How do you get the nav system to - get back on the route "in the middle" so to speak?
I end up turning it off and using WAZE on the Carplay - which IMHO is better anyway- but I'm traveling with a group and trying to get us all on the same NAV page.
There have been many, many, threads on issues with the HD Nav, and the general consensus is that it just doesn't work well enough to continue using it. I tried it once, it was so bad I never tried it again. Maps on CarPlay hasn't failed me yet. It's too bad too, there are some features on the HD Nav that could be useful if it worked.
Had the same issue. Got the carplay adapter, use it with google maps, works flawlessly. I do agree that there are some nice things about the HD ride planner, but the cons out way the pros, unfortunately.
I use inRoute to plan and download to my ‘17 Nav, and don’t have that problem. But, even web I chose a specific route with waypoints, it will sometimes ignore them, and go it’s own way.
The ride planner works great if you know how to use it. To the OP, there are reasons it's doing what it is but for your issue, try going into recent trips, and find the next leg (destination) of your trip. That should put you back on track. If your uploading the entire trip each time, it's obviously going to want to take you to the first destination.

You have to "skip" the waypoints in between where you went off route for a bit and then came back on.
Push #6 on pic below, and skip waypoint will be one of the available options (may have to skip more than one, depends on how your map is done and how long you were off route).

THIS ^^^
The other annoying part is guessing how many way points you need to skip to get you back on track.
If I remember right... there are "Locations" and "Waypoints". The few I have made, I used the place(s) I was starting and ending at as a Location(s). Then in between those locations I use several Waypoints, mostly as "map pins" to keep the route I want to go pinned on the specific roads/route that I want to take.
So I'll have Point A as one Location and Point B as the other Location. I will use several waypoints between going from point A to Point B so that the Nav is directing me along the specific roads I want to take.
IF I have a "Ride" that I created selected in the NAV, and I detour from that route the nav unit is going to try to route me back to the first waypoint that my "detour" cause me to miss, to continue that predetermined route.... the Nav unit is trying to get you back on the exact route you had programmed in.
So, If there was construction or just decided to go around an area a different way, once I got to the point I was ready to get back to my "Ride" I had going in the NAV, I would just delete the waypoint as previously described. If it was still trying to get me to go "backwards", I'd delete another. Basically, you're just deleting the waypoints your "detour" circumvented.
I use the ride planner & gts system due to the fact that cell/google service is sketchy when traveling [byloading map into system I never lose service] . I build the maps then to usb in each days ride instead of a huge map/file after some learning searching etc found this guys videos that pretty much solved every problem I created when building maps . Hope the linc helps steer ya rightly
