http://http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/convert_input allows one to provide the
URL of a file on the Web and convert to
GPX. On your Android phone (I used
Dolphin browser) you can copy the
Link URL from
Google Maps and paste it into
GPSvisualizer. Save the output to your mobile as
GPX and import into
Locus. You then see the exact same route in Locus as you created in Google Maps.
This means you can use Google Maps to plan and modify your route using only your mobile phone - no PC needed. Although Google maps allows one to download
KML file that does not keep the waypoints - it only has the start and end points. GPSvisualizer keeps the waypoints.
Locus does now have navigation but the route is not always the best. Maybe the new server (MapQuest) used for navigation in Locus will be better - I am looking forward to testing it. However this GPSvisualizer tool gives the choice of using Google Maps with its drag and drop flexibility.
