Hi,

Im planning a 7 day Alps/Monaco trip and I am playing about with various routes on the desktop of Google Maps changing the route to add the roads I want to drive on.

When I then send the link to my phone to use route I have devised on the desktop of google maps to the Google Maps phone app, it shows the route I want to take but the moment you hit the button to start navigating, it then re-routes based upon 'normal roads' rather than the ones I want to go on.

Is there a desktop program/website/app that I can plan the actual route I want and then transfer it to the Google or Apple maps phone app without the app then re-routing and losing it all.

I'm happy to pay for an app if it works.

I used to be able to do this by itinerary planning on my old Tom Tom PND but the maps on that are REALLY old now.

Thanks

Although not desktop planning, it looks like this will do it for me on my phone.
