HD Ride Planner
I have been having trouble with HD Ride Planner for a while now. It seems I can't even type into it anymore. I also noticed that the route shown (red line) does not match the roadway exactly as it used to. Is anyone else having this same problem? I use it a lot and it has been a handy tool, but it is really pissing me off lately..... Actually it comes and goes...sometimes it works and sometimes not.

Theyve sent out a trailer to pick it up and take it back to the shop.

Kris, I never did like it... It always seemed to be disfunctional to some degree or other depending on the day. I use Microsoft street maps (or something like that name) to do mapping. It doesn't lock up like HD's, Google, Mapquest or others.

HD Ride Planner:
I've used the Triple A TripTik site in the past with pretty good luck. It seems like you don't have to be a member in order to plan your trip. It'll create a PDF booklet with several segments. And I just found out they have a TripTik app for iPhone and Android too.

I use HD Ride Planner all the time and never had a problem with it.

The only reason I prefer it is that I can easily download my routes into my GPS directly from there. I don't know what has happened, but it is just not working like it used to. I will be curious to see if my routes show up okay in my GPS itself. If not, I will have to start loading them by hand...and that is a PIA.
Greg...can you do do that with that Microsoft program you mentioned...load them direct into your GPS...??

Yes I am pretty sure with the latest version. It is not that expensive.
I like it because you can plot a million points on it without the software overloading. I don't like staying on the same road for too long if I don't have to, so it works great for me.

Greg and Kris, what kind of GPS do you have?
If they are Garmin what is wrong with using MapSource?

Then why not use MapSource that came with the Zumo.
