Pleases be gentle with me. Am I missing something here ?
Last xmas I started using googlemaps on my iPhone via a bluetooth headset. I entered a single waypoint and used the turn-by-turn navigation. It was a little time consuming but worked fine, the missus thought it was witchcraft.
I then thought of ways how I could record tracks to export to google maps web based and then take screenshots for the forum. I installed, Trail tracker, works great - just a simple 'stop' & 'start' and an easy export to KML.
Next I trawled through some tourist sites and marked all the beaches, waterfalls, temples, etc in the neighbouring provinces on my computer / google maps and stumbled upon MotionX-GPS.
Wow!! I converted the KML to GMX, i could see the waypoints and the scenic route i found through the national park .. BUT then I found its not a turn-by-turn application, or am i wrong ?
Is there a way of opening 'Drive' with this data, or importing into 'Drive' ? ..
The other option is to mount the phone on a RAM mount and use the visual track, but I would feel safer keeping the phone in my pocket.
ETS: I found a FB post from MotionX - Apparently, Drive & GPS are not connected / interchangeable, as you may enter incorrect data and end up riding down a one way street. So which turn by turn will accept custom tracks created in google maps ?
