Unable to import from Google MyMaps

Hi @guidomm,

I created a route in Google MyMaps and pasted the link onto the MotoMapper website. At this stage it all looked good !

However it never turned up on my Scenic app Import Queue. (I have tried several times and waited 2 days)

I have just moved to a new phone so I wondered if that was the problem.

I have an iPhone 11 running iOS 13.4.1. The app is updated.

Any thoughts ? Many thanks

Adrian

 

Hi Adrian,

First thing that comes to mind is: are you logged in with your Scenic account on your new iPhone? If you are then something else is wrong. In that case, did the WebApp indicate a successful upload of the url? If so, would you mind sharing the url with me so I can also give it a try here? (If you prefer you can send It through email using the ‘email me’ button at the bottom of the support page).

cheers,

guido

Hi Guido,
Thanks for your always speedy response.
  1. I am logged in. (on the Account tab on the phone app it gives me the option at the bottom of the screen to 'Log Out')
  2. https://www.google.com/maps/d/drive?state=%7B%22ids%22%3A%5B%221Wi9_9gbMrrXbe6IBFdn_xs_Ljz0LiCsM%22%5D%2C%22action%22%3A%22open%22%2C%22userId%22%3A%22110478407154684705089%22%7D&usp=sharing
That is the link to the route map created on Google MyMaps
Thank you
Adrian

Hi Adrian,

Scenic only works if you copy paste the URL from your browser's address bar. This is the link you got by clicking the 'share' button. That doesn't work. I'll adjust the WebApp to give a decent error message when this happens.

Cheers,

Guido

Thanks Guido

Hello, I've just created a custom route using Google My Maps.  Now that I've exported the route as KMZ file how would I import this into the Scenic app?

Thank you for your time

No need to export to KMZ. Just copy paste the Google My Maps URL from you browser's address bar into the Scenic WebApp. Make sure your Google My Maps route is publicly accessible, otherwise the web app can't access it (you'll get an appropriate error message if access is insufficient)
