A lot of times on long trips I don't make routes because I change routes on the fly.
The night before or that morning I'll enter a few towns I may go through. During the day I can select Recent and pick towns that will work for me.
Last month in Gunnison I didn't have any routes for day rides and will not for September.
I'll have maps with me.
I just looked in my document bag for the trip and I have five maps.
Official Colorado map
Butler Colorado map
Montana and Wyoming
Western US
Central US
For anyone trying to route over Cottonwood Pass during the Ride Inn, you probably need to not select avoid unpaved roads. Last month when I entered a town on the other side of the pass it did not want to route over the pass. I'm guessing it still thinks it's gravel.
I have the latest maps loaded.
