Plotting a route in Google maps

Post by Tyrant68 »

Hi all
Plotted a route in google maps which I hope to do tomorrow.
The only option it gives is embed or share

If I share to FB and open it, it only gives me written instructions not 'start navigation' or it'll try and re route using motorways :(

This is the route, on share option but how do I save it so I can open maps on my mobile and use the route on Maps satnav?

Thanks

Have you tried in Google Earth? You can export/save from there.
