Export waypoints to Google Maps on mobile

[BFG]

The last time I tried the app, its instructions were completely wrong. I had it running in parallel with TomTom, and was testing it on a very well known route. No milestone / waypoints, just a single destination set. NN make 10 mistakes in the first 30 miles, telling me to take the wrong road each time. Many times I could see it wanted to take me into a car park, turn around and come out again. Stopped and double-checked destination and settings. Set it going also in parallel on my partner's phone. Set off again and it failed almost immediately. It felt like it was a pre-Alpha release. OK, I could keep it running in parallel, but then it was doing very strange things with the display which became a distraction.

This was Mar last year. https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/8980/first-time-navigation-next-on-android-auto-strange-display-rotation

I didn't try it again. If another free trial was offered I'd have given it another go after a few months.
Maybe I should try again.

If you’ve that many faults it must have something to do with your navigationsettings

@BFG, Who is to say your TomTom didn't get it right all that time instead...
I don't recognize anything you say...

You asked. If you don't like the answer, it's not my problem.

It does! they come in as pins. Thank you. This is a step closer. There are android apps that allow navigation from My Map pins.

is it not so that routes made in mymaps can be used in google maps... i am not in it but it is just a idea. you also can try kmz...

i use comaps when i use osm maps and that app uses kml or kmz. with import it is not always the same. so maybe export kmz will give better result.

I have a workflow. AI tools will do this easily. Tested with both chatgpt and claude.

A prompt such as the following works perfectly, and loads to google maps navigation (not to google my maps), so turn-by-turn is working. It does this by creating a single URL containing lat-long co-ordinates. I've only tested with .itn but it will work with gpx etc.

The prompt I used is:

Please prepare a google maps navigation route, using latitude and longitude, and provide me with a re-usable link to the navigation, using the attached .itn file as a source

Also, prompted by this thread, I've decided to give NN another go and purchased a subscription.

i do not use AI... the fun is half to play arround with routes and then try to find solution for navigation. it can be use off a lot of shaping points or use OSM but then use a OSM navigation app. sometimes i just use a track and then also NN but with some tracks it is better to use other app. i never use google maps for planned routes. for planned routes i use NN, Comaps(track), osmand (osm) and komoot for walking or bike. i am now also looking at bmaps, android app working alone with tracks and osm maps. As long as Here maps are supports the roads i use NN. If road support is better in OSM then i plan in OSM and export track to what ever i like to use.
