Exporting Google my maps to Scenic
Quote from Mauzep on May 14, 2021, 03:21Hello everyone. I am using scenic for years and I can say its a great app for motorcycle navigation. But now I bit confused. Trying to export google my maps route - containing few route layers. First of all - I cant see any stops - all points are "via", next thing - is it possible some how to merge routes from different layers to one single track?
Thanks in advance

I have created a route in just Google maps web page and copied the hyperlink into the Scenic Web App. That works quite well.
Have you successfully imported a route into Scenic ? If you have you can edit the 'via' points into 'Stops' On the edit page tap on the 'More' menu item, and select 'Convert all vias to stops'.

Quote from Mauzep on May 14, 2021, 05:58Actually am OK with both KML&KMZ. As well as with the direct link. But I am doing this from the PC.

Hi Peter,
KMZ, KML, GDB and ITN files can only be imported through the Scenic WebApp. The iOS app can only import GPX.
Cheers,
Guido

Have you tried copy/pasting the Google My Maps URL in the WebApp? It can handle Google Maps links, but also Google My Map links. https://scenicapp.space/webapp.php

Could you share the My Maps URL here perhaps? Or, if you're not comfortable doing that, email it to me? (There's an 'email me' button all the way at the bottom of the support page.

Thanks Guido.
