In Rideplanner, you can easily do a multi-day ride. Just make the overnite stops locations with waypoints in between to maintain your route. Layout the entire ride. Export the entire route to a gpx file. When you import to Boom, it will be broken up into days for you at the overnite stops (locations). The individual routes will have a suffix added; MyRoute, MyRoute02, MyRoute03, etc. No need to go doing that manually. The hardest part will be remembering what day of the ride you are on.
Oh, and Rideplanner does not have a 20 waypoint limit as mentioned in a previous post.

Sure could have fooled me. I tried mapping out the Blue Ridge Parkway since there were no user created maps, and to stay on the Parkway I need a lot of waypoints. Kept bumping into the limit. I'm not telling you that you're wrong, just that it didn't work for me.

can you use a cellphone to do all this? I'm thinking that a lot of trip days we don't know where we are going to stop for the night and it would be nice to do up a quick map to get a start for the next day. Can this be done and downloaded to the bike from an android phone? Sorry if that's been covered somewhere, but I really didn't get to play with the gps very much before the bike went away for the winter.

I've got Ride Planner app on my iPhone and it works fine. All my rides are available too.
Something else to consider - when you stop for the night, use the hotel computer, go to ride planner, complete the next trip - save it to a flash drive and upload it to the bike.
Hmmm, looks like more than 20 to me. No error messages....
If I continue peppering the waypoints, I eventually get the 20 limit. I guess that limit applies to the number of waypoints between locations. There is a possible work around for you...
Once you have your route created in ride planner click on the GPS Sync icon in the upper right portion of the screen just outside the map area. A window will open. If you are sending it to your Boom system choose "Manual Mode" and then "Save as GPX file". Save it to your flash drive then take the flash drive to the USB connector in the fairing compartment on your ride.
Same precautions as noted earlier in other forum threads about clean USB drive, FAT32 format, etc.
