Map2Route vs MapsToGPX

The easy way to turn a Google Maps directions link into a routable GPX file! Map2Route takes as input a Google Maps direction link and outputs a GPX file which follows those directions. You can use this GPX file for routing in other apps, or on GPS tracking watches such as Garmin. It's easy to use because you can use the share function to directly send links to Map2Route.

Turn Google Maps links into GPX files for your GPS navigator. Share a route, location pin or Google Plus Code with MapsToGPX using the iOS Share menu. Review the points, remove unwanted intermediate stops and export a GPX file or open it in a supported navigation app. POINTS OR A CALCULATED ROUTE Export the points from your link, or choose to build a route between them before exporting. Route building is useful for sports apps and GPS navigators that need a detailed route in the GPX file, rather than just a list of points. MapsToGPX calculates a new route using Google's routing service, the extracted points and the route settings available in the shared link. The original route's full path cannot be extracted from the link, so the calculated route may differ from the one shown in Google Maps. Check the result before your trip. HOW IT WORKS: 1. In Google Maps, select a route, location pin or Plus Code. 2. Tap "Share" and choose MapsToGPX. 3. Review the points and remove any unwanted intermediate stops. 4. Export the points, or enable route building for multiple points and export the calculated route. 5. Save the GPX file or open it in a supported navigation app. KEY FEATURES: • Optional route building between points before GPX export. • Export points without calculating a route. • Use the route settings available in your Google Maps link when calculating a new route. • iOS Share Extension with an expanded view for routes with multiple stops. • Inspect and remove intermediate points before exporting. • Convert Google Plus Codes into GPX waypoints for places without a street address. • Export a single location without sharing your current location. • Automatic resolution of shortened Google Maps links. • Direct handoff to supported navigation apps. • Built-in onboarding guide and multilingual interface. Prepare GPX files for motorcycle rides, cycling trips and other journeys. Import options and how a GPX file is displayed depend on your navigation app or device.
