Exporting Scenic GPX File to Google Maps or other apps

#1 · 04.07.2023, 13:32

I’m attempting to plan a 7 day route in Colorado. I have it pretty well planned on Scenic, but I don’t see a way in Scenic to estimate the drive times between various Via Points. I tried exporting the GPX file and importing into Google Maps, but my file is 12 MB and Google apparently only imports files up to 10 MB. I would love any suggestions as to how to plan my overnight stops, either in Scenic or another app.

You can see time between via points / stops in the route timeline. See here how to get there: https://scenic.app/forum/topic/deciding-long-multi-day-route-into-daily-sections/#postid-3077

On another note: 10 MB is very large for a GPX from Scenic. Typically I recommend to create one route per day. That is much better for performance during navigation. Since you already have the 'big' multi-day route, I recommend duplicating that a few times and then cut out the days you don't need, so you'll have 7 routes. You can place those routes into a folder to stay organized.

Also... Scenic is known to overestimate durations (give higher durations than they actually are in real life). This typically happens if the route contains smaller roads / dirt roads).

Thank you. I see the Route Timeline now. I also appreciate the tip about creating multiple files. I love the app.

I simply want to create a ride in scenic and export it to my Zumo XT. Seems like this should be easy.
