OK, I am loading my ride on the auto train in Sanford Fl, and heading to Lorton, VA. I then will take Skyline Dr to Blue Ridge parkway all the way to Cherokee NC with stops at A cabin in the Shenandoah Natl park, then to then to Mt Airy, NC where there is still Mayberry, the town the "Andy Griffith" show was filmed in, then to Lynchburg, TN ( LOVE me some Jack) , then to "the secret city" in Knoxville where most of the "Manhattan project" was built, then to Cherokee and home to Fl.
I LOVE Google Maps, I know, I have posted many times in this form about my love/hate relationship for Google Maps and syncing with the Infotainment system. The reason for my love of Google Maps is the metabolic search options, I dare anyone in HD ride planner, Tourstart or Tyre to search for "Secret city" in any of these programs and find results, aint gonna happen. Soo, I created a ride on Google Maps, then use GPS Visualizer and saved it as a .GPX file and I was able to import the rout into Tourstart with the ride as I planned it EXACTLY, it added 26 waypoints, but I deleted those not at a turn onto a different road and al went well. Tyre did import route, but only as point to point. Didn't try HD ridel planner, thats what i think about that program.
Only issue I found with imported map in Tourstart was that it included a return route to origin, however it was not listed in the waypoints, just shown on the map. I have not tried to import it into the Infotainment system yet, will do so tomorrow and report back. Hope it works as I have a lot of routes to plan!!!
