Transfering Maps from Garmin to Google Maps
This is what I did to transfer the Trip / Track from Garmin to Google Maps. It is a bit indirect but works. Please let me know if anyone finds a better way to do it.. thank you..
Before you start you needGarmin Map Source
Google Earth
Gmail / Google Maps account
-First I used “Map Source” from Garmin to download the required data/track from the GPS.
-In “Map Source” click on the “View” menu then “View in Google Earth...”
-In “Google Earth” locate the required track on the “Side bar” usually you should find it under Temporary Places> Map Source > Tracks
-Right Click on the Track > “Save Place As...” and save it.
-Now log into Google Maps
-Click on “My Maps”
-Click on “Create New Map”
-Click on “Import” and Browse to the file you saved earlier from Google Earth and Click on “Upload”.
-Enter a Title / Description as other options as you prefer.
-Click on “Link” and copy and paste the link.
