Hand over selected points
RoadReview creates a directions link with a start, destination and selected waypoints. The limited number of waypoints makes the link usable, but does not capture every bend in the original GPS track.
Open in Google Maps In use
From a saved lesson to your mapping app.
A Google Maps link takes selected points from a route. Google Maps uses them to calculate a new course, which you should check before using it.
From waypoints to a newly calculated route
You want to see a route in a familiar mapping app. You do not need every recorded GPS point as a navigation stop. The handoff uses selected waypoints and has different limits from a GPX track.
Google Maps calculates the course
The mapping app uses its own routing calculation. Road changes, waypoints and current routing data can produce a different course. Check the practice locations that matter most for your lesson.
Distinguish a track from navigation
If you want to transfer the complete saved track, use GPX export. If you want to open a mapping app to calculate a route, use the link. The two options serve different purposes.
Three steps
Hand over the route and compare its course
Open the route
Select the saved route you want to use.
Hand it to Maps
Open the available Google Maps link.
Compare the course
Compare key practice locations with the original track.
Limits of the Google Maps handoff
The link is not an exact reproduction of the GPS track. This does not promise built-in turn-by-turn navigation or rerouting in RoadReview.
Students use RoadReview through a participating driving school. New schools can register their interest; the enquiry does not automatically activate access.
Questions about handing routes to Google Maps
Is the Maps route exactly the same?
That is not guaranteed. Google Maps calculates its own route from selected points.
How can I get the full GPS track?
GPX export transfers the saved track points to a suitable application.
Does RoadReview provide navigation itself?
The handoff opens an external mapping service. It does not provide built-in live navigation with rerouting.
