looks like a nice sight. 50 points will be interesting to see if it works.

I got a two week ride planned late July. Pittsburgh to Seattle, down coast, inland to Mt Hood, back to coast, down to California, to Reno and Lonliest Road Rt 50 to Colorado...question- should I do separate route for each day, or one long loop, or muliple pieces???

Going to have hotel addresses and a couple roads we want to travel to enter.

A seperate route for each day would probably work best.

In regards to the myscenicdrives site, I like it too.  What format do you use to save the routes in? is it the MS Street or Garmin GPX?  I cannot load the routes on my 2015 Road Glide.  Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.

[WTF Chuck]

I saved the as GPX

[bakon]

been playing with my scenic drive site. Easier to put in addresses of hotels and load in correct order compared to HOG ride planner.

HOG site liked to add next entered address to the end, even if across country. The scenicdrive site seems to know where to put it in order of stops.

Have not made an attempt to change routes or roads yet. I know the HOG site allowed it, but sometimes a few waypoints needed added to keep off an interstate or reroute to another road from the one it selected originally for the addresses entered. Get to that next.

Will have to play with the days part of the trip too. Like it gives options on breaking it down. Suprised this is a free site with all it offers so far.

HOG ride planner little easier to pick a road. make a waypoint and drag.

scenicdrive doesn't allow the drag from what I see, multiple waypoints around crater lake in Oregon to get the road I want.

[WTF Chuck]

I started playing around with tyretotravel last night for the 2nd leg of
trip because I have not been able to find a way to drag the road around
in scenicdrives. When you import the file from usb only pick the file you named do not pick all or any other file or you may have a lock up and have to do a factory reset. Here is a good video on importing a route

Good video- now the 100 point limit...is that per route he selected, or total of all the routes loading in the bike? from what I read its 100 total, correct??

And he only listed his waypoints as number 1 thru 4 or so....I saw you post about giving them a name in the edit box on scenicdrive...is that so you can delete individually, know where you are headed or both ...

I got a question a day probably because I cant really use it yet. -6 tonight, snow in drive and gps wont work in garage to play with it because satalites cant even be found when parked inside. SO doing this all in head....

[WTF Chuck]

Well Harley says 100 waypoints but I have not heard or seen anyone that has been successful with more than 55 way points and a few have tried and had lock up problems. The waypoint number is per route.

[WTF Chuck]

The best way I have found to use the GPS on the new bikes is while I am on a trip I look at a map and pick 6 to 10  small towns about 50 to 100 miles apart in the general direction that i want to head then in the morning i punch in each town name one at at a time hit go and let it calculate then do the next one they will be saved under recent. I then set Gps  to avoid highways and toll roads select twisty  or scenic
pick the 1St town and hit the road come to the 1st town select the next one and so on. using this method  the boom box has put me on many great roads that i would have never found it works very well. one word of caution do not follow the turn arrows on the bottom of the screen I have found about 7out of 10 times the arrow is wrong but the map is correct so follow the map. You can also do this all right on the touch screen by just moving around on the screen selecting the next location or general direction you want to go with the same settings above good luck and have fun. I am sitting here typing because its to cold to ride .6 degrees this morning in VA

I should have known Chuck (14CVOUltra) would have found the youtube video of route(s) importing.

Sad that after more than 20 months with this head unit in production Harley Still can't get simple things right.  I have called after each and every update with this complaint. 

Sure miss the reliable Garmin on my new bike. 

[WTF Chuck]

Hey Dave

Well I saved the Garmin from my 12 and it is on the 14 now as backup
But you will laugh at the lash up I will get a picture sometime an post it

Mine is on my 13 CVO King, but thinking about adding a mount on the 15 for it.

[bakon]

Harley calls 100 waypoints- here 55 maybe limit... per route...

So how many routes?

15 day trip, myscenicdrive will break into days, each day a route, or trip as 1 route?

Good info so far...I did play with the GPX files from myscenicdrive- had to download a Garmin program to look at them, haven't edited anything in gpx format, only on myscenicdrives site
