Google MyMaps Route
Quote from Solorider73 on 14.04.2026, 07:14I use Google MyMaps for a lot of motorcycle scavenger hunts and tag games. It works great for planning with a lot of POIs over a large area.
My problem is that I can't seem to get Scenic to import a route, it's only a track and waypoints that are separately imported. I've tried multiple ways of importing, web link, KML, convert to GPX and none seem to work. I did export a KML from MyMaps and import it into My Route Planner and it imported correctly.
Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?

UPDATE... I mean... copy paste the Google My Maps Share link in the Scenic WebApp again.

I now see the the route import button. When I press the import button, I get an error "Route Calculation Error" "Path distance exceeds the max distance limit: 10000000"
For context, I play motorcycle scavenger hunt games where I will have one layer with fifty to one hundred POIs and another layer with a route. If I import the map with all the POIs, it gives me the error above.
As a trial, I created the route then made a copy the map and deleted the POI layer in the new map, leaving just the routing layer and it imports as expected.
This works for me.
Appreciate the quick response and resolution.
