Thanks Ryan for the advice. That said, I just test road a 21 Indian Challenger. Really enjoyed the ride, so I ordered one. Downside... 3 to 6 weeks until it arrives. BTW, I enjoy following you and your buds. Also appreciated your review of the bike.

Great video - Starting to use HD RIde-Planner more and more. I am looking for a feature for large groups. A feature that would allow a route builder/Admin for a group of riders that would automatically update a group with the latest route. That way the individuals in the group don't have to update and save the latest versions of a route.

Thanks very informative videos I used Harley planner and REVER

Really appreciate your review. Thanks for your efforts and time to complete this video

Thank you for being a good man !!!!!!!! It's so nice to watch your videos and knowing you and your group are decent men.

Great video thank you! A good ride app is key for group rides. Thanks for all the great content. I found your videos last year and they have really helped me a lot. I have purchased a few things from your store and everything is high quality and works great!! Question have you ever experienced your tour pack wobbling over time? Is there a way to adjust it so its tight again? If you have the time a video on that would be great!! Thanks again and keep her Shiney side up.

My H-D ride planner purchase from you has been extremely helpful to me. Love it. Thank you.

Perfect! I’ve been wanting this very kind of comparison. Great presentation.

Thank you for your hard work and thoroughness 🤙

thanks you so much - this is really great tutorial

Very informative! Lots of good info without BS! Thanks!!

Wow! Great info, very helpful. I'm very frustrated with google maps, for multiple reasons and I think I'll try HD Ride -Planner.

Thanks Ryan. Some great trip planning options that provide a lot more functions than my Garmin GPS.

Excellent video! Thank you very much.

Luv the channel and u seem to be a hellofadriver. I’ve seen the training videos. May be relocating from Kansas City to Redmond Washington area. Wife headed up next week when she secures a place I’m going up also. Do you have any thoughts on 1 day out & back trips or direct me to some ride resources? Dennis

Great review im sold InRoute IOAD MINI 5 sim , Is their a share rides by fellow riders previously ran .

Great freaking video. Thank you

Calimoto has been my favorite, Detecht has an interesting crash detection system.

Can you make an updated video on trip & ride planning apps and if any of these have updated their software for more user friendly use or they have worked out there bugs since this vi from a yr ago. TY

Good info. Thanks

Thanks Ryan.

I am soooo impressed. You are amazing.

Any chance you could add a video with a review of the Detecht app? I currently use the free version of Rever but am looking for more options. TIA.

funny i was just looking for an app the other day. very timely!

I just purchased your ride planner video. My ride planner is not the same version. Are you doing any updates for this video. Main problem I am having is the download simply adds a link in my download file. Not sure that will go onto the bike. Just wondering about an update. thanks. Love your videos and store.

I use H-D and in route as a combo

I have been using the HD Ride Planner for over 10 years. Even with all of the original flaws, if you know how a GPS actually functions, then the Ride Planner will work like a champ. Yes, it took me several years to figure out all of the subtle tweaks one needs to make, but bottom line is if you want to be able to plan a trip with multiple waypoints this is the package I rely on. One of the big issues with creating a route on a PC and then uploading the file to a bike is that if there are not enough waypoints the bike GPS will automatically change the route to the most efficient route, according to the GPS at the time. However, I do prefer to upload daily routes instead of an entire trip. I find it easier that way, but each person has their own preferences. All that being said, if I need a quick point-to-point route, my Road Glide Navigation will work just fine. Ryan............as with all of your videos, this one was timely and well executed. Keep up the good work!

Great video thanks! I was using Harley Ride Planner on my desktop to plan a ride this summer. Just recently there seems to have been some updates to the website which has created bugs. I no longer see mileage between locations. It is black. I also can not use my mouse to zoom in and out from a map. I used to a couple weeks ago. I tried two different laptops and both Chrome and Edge. Same bad results. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?

Scenic app seems to be one of the better ones.

is there a way to send a route you made with HD ride planner to your buddy's just in case you get separated

You mentioned to download maps when you don't have cell service. Do you do this in the Harley app?

Do any of these give you a distance between gas stations?

Rever is my favorite, hands down!

Some times i want in the 1st leg twisty road but not on the second, i cant find any software with this feature... The best way is to configure every leg separately!

I use REVER Pro. But I don’t preplan. I use it to find any Gold roads while I’m traveling.

Hi Ryan , you should talk about the dongle Cplay2air, wireless Apple CarPlay on Harley Boom Box GTS . Pretty handy!!!!

HI Ryan, I rode through Yakima a couple of weeks ago, was looking for motorcops hoping to run into you. Only saw three cop cars near the bike shop...maybe next time.

atlas for me. any day. all day

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Just wanted to add about the Ride Planner app from my experience. It is a great way to plan a route before hand using a laptop or pc. Try to make it as simple as possible when planning out using the least amount of waypoints. Keep the file size down to a minimum. Break up a route if necessary into separate files (ex: LA_Sac_1, Sac_Tahoe_2, Tahoe_Vegas_3, Vegas_LA_4) and a large part of that depends on waypoints. It's just something to experiment with before you try on a multiday adventure. If you set a waypoint and don't actually meet it, the app will reroute you based upon the most fastest way to reach your destination. For example, you spend time planning a route through the twisties from LA to San Diego but miss a waypoint you set before the twisties. It will most likely reroute you using the interstates. If you miss a waypoint and it keeps yelling at you to U-turn to go back to it, then you decide to use the "skip waypoint" option, it will most likely reroute you using the interstates or even roads that are pot hole dirt gravel roads that it determines to get you to your destination quicker. I think the Harley Ride App will continue to operate or hold the planned route (or even unplanned route if just viewing the map as you ride) you set even when you run out of cell phone signal service and relies on the GPS function within the phone (totally separate technologies from what "experts" have informed me) The GPS satellites lock onto a "beacon" baked within your phones motherboard and is how it can track the exact location even when you don't have cell service.

I use Google Street view alot to judge the quality of the road.

thanks for your videos. Question: What brand of bag do you have on top on your Harley tour pack that has casters on it.? I would rather roll my large bag than carry it.. I know you are busy can you let me know. I appreciate your time, Ronald in Idaho..

Hi, there - what stops you from using a GPS based, dedicated navigation device, such as the TomTom RIDER 550...?

Thanks again! Just the info I was looking for to plan our Northwest trip! I'd buy you a beer, but Yakima is waaaaaay too hot!

Have an issue with H-D planner and bike importing. The planner is great, really love it, but when we (guys in my group) import the gpx file, the bike system changes the route (old system and new). Suggestions so that the bike system doesn’t change the route we planned?

Rynn, Thanks for this video! I had and used HD ride planner , I now use REVER , one thing I’ve noticed is REVER stays true to My plan rides. I will try this In Route and compare!! So for I like REVER over HD. Thanks again brother, You stay safe out there with the Libtrads you deal with! Tenneesse

I like my Rand McNally atlas. No batteries, works 24/7, :) As a Indian owner, Indian route/ride command is marginally more useful than smoke signals, if you turn the brightness up, it does have the benefit of providing a nice soft white light to read my atlas by at night... Thanks as always for your in-depth and quality reviews.

I use garmin zumo with base camp And I also use calimoto app

Hey Ryan! I've been really getting into this issue recently. I have used the HD Ride Planner and the 6.5 & GTS Boombox for some time. You stated in your video: "you can name waypoints in Ride Planner". Not accurate. You can name "destinations" anything you want.......but waypoints CANNOT be named in my experience. Makes a big difference when uploaded to the Boombox. So.......if you waypoint a Chevron for gas you can only name it as a gas stop if you change the waypoint to a location (or stop). The GPS on the bike will stop.......you then need to restart the Ride by choosing the file for the next stop.

These look like good options , but I traveled the United States with just a road atlas, something HD no longer gives with a HOG membership

What about dealership locations along the route?

What's your view on Calimoto?

And all this time I’ve been using Google maps…. Thanks for the data, RU. 👍

WAZE is best, my riding friends generally have given up on HD

I use Scenic.. it’s so much better than the Harley ride planner

I have a map, works great every time

I don't need cell service for my garmin

The BS ends at 3:05

TFW I'm looking for dirt bike trail map apps and this guy is talking road maps 😔

Just an FYI Rever is not $60 per year it's $39.95 per yr.

your out of date on rever pricing. 39.99/yr now

Speaking into Apple Watch. Hey Siri get directions to *location* Its really that simple.

Have you looked at Calimoto?

What is up with HD Ride planner now, Slow, choppy, and freezes…. May 2022

😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦

Dude, content is great. You gotta get rid of that creepy breathing intro. It’s weird.

stick with google maps

OMG.... A ride planner app? Why? Just load your stuff on the bike and ride in the right direction. At sunset find a place to sleep. Easy!
