I'm watching to see if this Beeline Moto delivers a good product. It gives basic directions to way points/routes created on your phones GPS.
Most GPS devices have been created to get you from your current location to an address. As riders we are going in "routes," A to B to C to D...etc. On my "older" garmin it's a pain creating routes. I find my phone to be the easiest tool to create routes BUT it's hard to see in the sun.
I find myself putting via points in my GPS to keep me or lead me to the roads I want to be on. It does take a bit longer to get it set but I get lost coming back to the couch from the capper
I use HD's ride planning website. I plan my route to my destination, as well as the day trips I will be taking from that location, setting all my way-points using my laptop (it's easier using my laptop.) The website allows me to save all of my routes (which helps because I usually have to change them as the trip progresses.) The website allows me to download a GPX file to my laptop for each route and then I copy them onto my Garmin. Once on my Garmin I "Import" the routes and they show up in "Routes" on my GPS under the name I gave them.
Ride plans can be saved as private or public. That's nice because you can look at other people's public routes for ideas when building your own or you can use or adjust their route.
Interesting site - I checked it out. It doesn't have the public routes like HD. I'm not familiar with the Butler maps but I will look into them. I can't find anywhere in my area where they are sold so I guess I'll have to take a chance and buy one for my next trip.
