How To

Create a GPX track from a route planned on Google Maps

The Vacations application supports GPX tracks. So you plan a route on Google maps, create a GPX track from it, and then add that track to your vacation.
To do so:

  • Plan the route on Google maps
  • Copy the URL from your browser
  • Go to MapsToGpx. There paste the link into the designated text field and click on ‘LET’S GO’. This generates, and downloads, the GPX track.
