From Garmin Route (Basecamp) to Google Maps route

Folks, an extremely annoying problem as follows:
I use a Garmin 660 GPS for my motorbike and Basecamp to plan the trips.
Since not all of my biker-friends have a Garmin i want to share the route with them on Google maps so they can read it into their phone and follow the route turn by turn.
I know you can set up a new route in Google maps on your phone and push the Start button to get the directions,
however when i import a gpx- or kml-file it only *shows* the route. It is not possible in Google maps to select the route and push "Start". Only thing you can do is to rename or delete the route..

Or is this a functionality which only exists in my fantasy ?

/thanks for any contribution

Hi,

If I understand correctly your question, you need a track simulator for your motorbike trips.

You can check out these websites:

- GPSVisualizer (a great website for converting and visualizing)
- GPSIES
- AYVRI 3D Visualizer

For iPhone and Android:
- BikeGPX - no account required

Hope it helps

Thanks a lot Molnar.
I will try out BikeGPX this weekend when going to Sweden.
Probably a 1000 km ride :)
