This is why I love my Garmin and my CravenSpeed mount.......:biggrin5:

 

Have you tried importing google map routes to the Garmin? I know there is a way to, but all of my Garmin "stuff" is at home right now.

 

Oh how life would be good if I could easily take google maps & place them into my Garmin.

 

Ross,

I'm looking at an app called Waypointer. Looks like it will import a gpx file and if you import the route points, I think it is loading the route properly. You can then launch navigation. That is about as far as I've gotten with the testing, but it looks like it will load each point in succession as you reach them (like the newer Garmins do with the RoutePlanner or whatever it is they call it now). I'll have to try loading something up some time to test it out though.

I'm also seeing lots of people posting about an app called OsmAnd. I note it is an Open Street Maps based app and I was not impressed with Open Street Maps when I fiddled with it. You may have better luck.

I haven't yet found anything that will let you take a saved Google My Maps route and load it up for navigation on an Android device (but I have found lots of people complaining about the lack of this ability).

They are not obsolete as long as they are able to do something your other devices can't do. :smile5:
