Convert route to GPX file and import in Route Generator

Since Route Generator is now able to import GPX files, you can also use this feature to convert a planned route (using e.g. openroute service) and convert it to a GPX file.

There are also tools available to convert a Google Maps KML/KMZ file to GPX. See for example: MyGeodata Converter or GPS Visualizer.

The example below shows how to export a route from openroute service and them import that route into Route Generator.

Go to openroute service and enter a source and destination and optionally modify the route. When ready, export the route to GPX.

openroute
Click "Export Route" button (see red arrow).

downloadroute
Select "togpx", enter name for a route and click "Download".

In Route Generator, click the GPX import button on the toolbar.
