When you map a route on MapQuest, Google, HD Website, the Honda Website, etc...... which is the best one?
Here is my humble opinion....FWIIW.
HONDA! <-- They have them all beat. (And I am a Harley guy.)
Here it is:
I have the Zumo 550.
When I go to the Honda trip planning website (google it if u like), it is the FASTEST (which is most imp. to me), it has MANY different types of terrains, and does REALLY WELL with partial addresses or names of companies. (For example: I typed in "Hampton Inn Barrie ONT CA" and it was found in a split second.)
After I make my route, I d/l it to my GPS and it works PERFECTLY!
With the other sites I tried, they are excruciatingly s-l-o-w. zzzZZZzzz. Again, it is just my opinion and when mapping SPEED is everything to me. It maps u fast and u can move the entire map around instantly.
I am not even sure Mapquest d/l's to GPSs but it does not matter since they are not as fast as the Honda site.
Admittedly, the only 2 downfalls with the Honda site are: 1) You can't drag and drop your route as easy (it does but not as easily) as the others and 2) d/ling is not as easy.
Two things I can put up with since it is lightening FAST!
Well, that's my 2 cents. I was excited when I found it last night and worked it again this morning. So, I am sharing my finding....
