I use my iPhone for navigation, mounted to the handlebar with audio though my Sena headset. That part works fine (well, more or less but that's a different issue)...
However, using Apple or Google maps, I can't "force" a good motorcycle route when I ask it for a route to wherever. Either program will generally give several options for a route from A to B but typically none of them are the route I would select as the most scenic/interesting.
If I get off whichever route I selected, the program tries to put me back on it. Yesterday, on a ride from Bath to Sparkford, it kept trying to route me over to one of the programmed routes, finally telling me to make a U-turn and "return to route." SO...anyone know of an app that either looks for scenic routes OR is easy to program a specific route into the app on the phone? I know I can do that on my computer and download it to the phone but I want to be able to do it on the phone itself so it can be done at a food or gas stop.
