Go to My Maps and type your locations into the search bar.You can add your destinations and tweak the map any way you’d like. It may be easier to just create your own Google Map. Once your file is uploaded to Google Maps, you can share it and perform any actions that you normally would on Google Maps.This extra step will ensure that nothing is lost in the upload to Google.

GPS Visualizer is a very lightweight and free converter. You can convert GPX to KML using a variety of software, but the most convenient way is to use an online converter. The settings also has a “Cancel Geofencing” option to clear pending alerts.To make sure that all the data from your file gets properly uploaded into Google, first convert it into the preferred format, KML. Less so if the GPS is not in active use in any app. It is more accurate if you are actively using navigation within BCN. We don’t know how accurate to expect Google’s Geofencing service to be yet. You will get a notification that you can click on, open BCN, and start navigating to that point with map and compass. This uses Google’s Location Geofencing to give us alerts. You can continue to navigate to a fixed point as before, but you can also defer that navigation until you are within the distance you specify. The next time you use the GOTO function (from Long Click, Waypoint screen, or Waypoint list), you will see something like this. In the ideal world, Id like an app which lets me download a GPX track I want to follow, then beeps at me as Im coming up to a turning point so that I know to. To try out the beta version of this feature, go to settings, choose GOTO options, then make sure Show GOTO option is active. Many have asked for the ability to get alerts of when they are a certain distance from waypoint. This is from the 13 Nov newsletter, looks like it’s in Beta testing, so use it and let them know if it works well for your application.

A route I’m trying to follow then it does become a bit trial and error but usually I get the rough gist of it looking at evidence of where people seem to be riding. If you’re following marked bridleways etc with obvious, “left turn here” kind of stuff then it may be easier, but singletrack and trying to follow someone’s route or a race course off main paths, I find can be tricky just following the phone.Įxploring I do a bunch of research, keep track of recognisable features, work out my bearings and where I want to check out and just head in the direction I think interesting things will be and hunt them down. I use OSM stuff, not turn by turn, with position showing where I am and direction it thinks its facing and try to follow the map but have on occasions realised I’m going down the wrong path even though the phone shows it’s the right one, until eventually the track goes off course. Phone compass is also not terribly accurate I find.

Turn by turn off road is tricky as GPS accuracy varies and can be anything from 5 to 10 metres to 50, plus trails can be very close to each other. I’m keen to try riding some new, unknown areas, and would always have an OS map with me just in case, but it would be nice to have the easy option! 🙂 Posted 6 years ago Is it just a case of putting some sort of marker into the GPX files if I’m creating my own route? Even better would be if it automatically dimmed between turns to save battery life.ĭoes this exist? My Garmin 800 more or less did it, but the screen was so bloody small that it wasn’t always easy to figure out which one of a couple of close bridleway turns I was supposed to be taking! In the ideal world, I’d like an app which lets me download a GPX track I want to follow, then beeps at me as I’m coming up to a turning point so that I know to look down at the map and see which track to take. There seem to be plenty of apps that will do turn by turn based on an underlying map, which is great on roads, but I’ve yet to find anything that really works well off road.

Is anyone aware of any decent Android apps for providing turn by turn navigation for mountain biking?
