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.
