By a rider for riders – Scenic Motorcycle Navigation Review

I have been using this app for my routing for a little while now, and it has become my favorite planning and routing app. I like that I can create and import routes from my computer, and I really like how I can share my routes easily. The Scenic Webapp gives me the ability to just copy a Google Maps URL or import directly from Furkot to it and it seamlessly transfers to the phone app. This last update seems to have addressed some of the little tweaks you'd have to go back to after importing a route. I run a 100 member motorcycle group and lead rides pretty much every weekend. I can tell you that when you have a large group of bikes behind you, the last thing you want to do is take a wrong turn and then have to turn a big bunch of bikes around. During the time I've been using this app, I have had questions 2 different times. Both times I contacted the developer via email, and both times I got a fast, thorough response. I am constantly asked to share routes and share information on the navigation tools I use. I have no hesitation in recommending Scenic to all that ask. With the ability to publicly post the route, group members can access the route by name and have a copy of the route themselves. That makes it easy if someone wants to join up along the way, or gets separated from the group. My only complaint, (and it is a small one) is that I wish that I could purchase the whole USA and Canada or at least regions of them instead of downloading 1 state or province at a time. It's not a big problem when I know the general route, but for areas that I'm unfamiliar with, I worry that I'll need a map I don't have and don't have access to when in the middle of nowhere. I have recently been using Furkot online to plan multi day routes, and Scenic will directly load those routes into the app, and automatically break them into 1 day increments. When you put these two programs together, you have an extremely powerful trip planning tool. When I am over a thousand miles from home, with a dozen riders relying on my lead, I feel confident that Scenic will get me there. As an anal retentive planner, that says a lot. I've purchased 2 other apps that were made unusable by "updates", Tom Tom and CoPilot. I trust that I won't experience this with Scenic, since the developer is a rider like me. I'm looking forward to further updates and features, especially the group planning. That will be really useful for me. Keep up the good work!
