Route plan to sat nav

[Bungleaio]

I'm off to Wales this weekend and have generated some routes through www.twistyride.com. This generates a GPX file which I've imported into a my map on google maps. The problem I'm having is Google generates it's own (the quickest) route between the waypoints rather than the route generated by twisty ride.

Is there any way to modify this, other than adding loads of extra waypoints? I'm happy to download a new app if anyone can recommend one? I'm on Android.

I know I could go old school and write the directions down but I prefer to use sat nav.

I still prefer the download Tyre than the app but both will take your GPX file and convert it into a route file that will go straight into your Nav. You may have to delete some of the waypoints to make it manageable which is easy to do

I've found that the only reliable way of ensuring maps generated/updated in different routing applications then transferred to different navigation devices actually follow the same route is to include lots of extra waypoints. Every application and every device has it's own idea as to which route is best, even when variable settings like Tomtoms twisty roads are set to the same value, two separate devices will offer slightly different routes.

That's the reason why, when three or four of the Old Gits ride together, the rule is that the lead riders sat nav is right and everyone else's is wrong.

I use the OSMAND app website here https://osmand.net/

You get 6 or 7 free downloads one of these can be the whole of england.

You can then use it offline like a normal satnav and as long as you save your GPX file in the right location you can open it up in the app and follow the route.

Plus point over google is you dont have to tell it to continue at a waypoint it will just carry on guiding you through them to the end,

You can plot and add waypoints on the fly, it can be a little slow and clunky but works very well.

If you're only bothered about a route being highlighted on a map, and not giving you directions (I hate directions), GPX Viewer is good.

Have you tried motogoloco.com? Put in your start and finish points then click and drag to the route you want. I then down load it on to the mac then click and drag it onto my SatNav...easypeasy

Damn I never knew things like this existed. Just tried this one and put into google need to try out for real but seems really good. Can add way points once in google maps and thats what I use with my Sena for ride outs when I'm going somewhere I dont know

Cheers guys, I'll have a look into the suggested apps.

I found calimoto.com or rather the app this morning and have used that to cover the best part of 200 miles this afternoon and evening. It has a feature similar to Tomtom's windy road option so gives an interesting route to ride. I'm not sure if it's what I'll use to actually get to wales at the weekend but I think it will be something I use to give me a bit of a random route when I'm there.

Tomtom website can import GPX routes and these can then be synced with the Tomtom Go mobile app.
