Hi, I am shortly renting a 2014 Harley Ultra Trike in order to travel route 66. The trike is fitted with a boombox infotainment system. However I understand that Route 66 is notoriously difficult to travel just using a standard GPS system - even google maps struggles to find the correct route. SO I want to manually plot day by day the route in advance & then upload onto the trike when I pick it up.
Can anyone offer any advice here:
1) Which mapping SW does the boombox use?
2) Any advice on how to plot each section on a PC?
3) Is there any prebuilt mapping data for R66 that anyone has come across?

One NONE mapping idea is that I input the route using voice on my phone, save each as a playlist & then playback the relevant sections using the VR on the trike - this sounds OK (if the theory works)

Any help or advice would indeed be appreciated.

I'm sure I remember reading about a TomTom itinerary file(s) or POI location files that covered Route 66

Here's the first four links from a quick Google search...

I've no idea what file format you need for the Harley system, but there are plenty of utility programs that can convert TomTom files to other formats.
