OK, seems like it is working for you, so what I am doing is very similar to what you have listed. The actual route that comes up in the GPS is not what I developed in Ride Planner, downloaded onto the USB and then loaded into the bike system. I have saved my route on the USB, gone to another computer, checked the route and it works fine.
Once it goes in the bike, the GPS gremlin recalculates the route. I have a 2 hour ride to the US border and obviously I know the roads to take to get there. The GPS routinely uses other roads. I had to check the "avoidances" to ensure I hadn't checked off toll roads (I hadn't) to see if that was the problem.
The bike GPS is set to SCENIC, should I change that setting to fastest or shortest?
Thanks for your help

What I do is put a waypoint somewhere on each road you want to travel on, that way it has to route you that way. However you have to be careful and not go over the 9 waypoint limit. That includes the location at the beginning and end.

The MAC version presented 2 options on the bike, one with the route name and the other starting with *_ and the route name. The PC version just had one with the correct route name.
I chose the PC version and it went away from the planned route in less than 3 miles. I changed from Scenic to Fastest and it changed the route to the Highway. It seems the GPS overrides the planned route all the time for me.
Waiting for an update, I figure the more we write about these issues the quicker the MOCO will come up with a fix. According to my dealership, nobody else is having a problem with their GPS, seems strange, but mine was one of the early ones.

I saw exactly the same thing with the Garmin 665 but not to the extent I have with the 6.5. The difference was that you could bring the Garmin in, sit at your desk and check the route. Hope every thing works out for you.
