Scenic route and Google My Maps
Quote from NYbobber on 15.07.2021, 18:18I’ve created a route in Scenic. I plan to navigate using Scenic. The others on my trip are all using the google maps app /my maps. They downloaded my Scenic gpx file and loaded it in google my maps successfully and it plotted what I believe is the same route. They all plan to ride using that google my map feature
My question is this: How identical will the routes be? Should the Scenic route be the same as the route my friends are seeing?
What hiccups should I expect?
When I’m getting ready to make a turn, will my friends say that their screens are showing a different turn down the road ?
I’m hoping it’s identical so we can all simultaneously navigate using both Scenic and Google maps/my maps.
