RTsystems and TM 281

I purchased RTsystems software to simplify programing my TM281 and it is a nice tool. The program was easy to install and the instructions were easy to follow. Unfortunately, one of the best features of the program does not work as expected. The ability to pull over data from Rfinder and upload that into RT systems does not work as specified. Rfinder has the ability to identify repeater information along a specified travel route. My RTsystems software will not load route information from Rfinder directly into a useable file. The program will load repeater information from a single location but not the complete route.I contacted RTsystems and they were able to duplicate the problem, but have not yet provided a solution. It is possible to copy the route information directly from Rfinder into a CSV file and then copy that into RTsystems for upload to the radio but that process is inefficient. If RTsystems developers are able to correct this bug , I would rate the program mush higher.
