You can also just right click on the middle of the route (where you want an ‘anchor point’) and choose “Add Destination” from the right click sub-menu. It will put add it to the route, in the correctly sorted order. Not a big thing. A tiny bit easier if you create a lot of routes.
Do not forget that in Google Maps under Options you can eliminate toll roads, freeways, and ferries as route options.
That's the same method I like to use, as well! The 'super slab' is typically not scenic as the highway roads that are around. The Google Maps options are handy to plot out some scenic paths. I never considered using Google sheets to plot out further routes - brilliant.
I've done the Maps part, never thought about a spreadsheet...Thanks!! Great video.
Man, your tutorial has improved my route planning threefold. Great and informative video. Thank you.
Great video. I do the exact same thing. Using an Android you can add the route to your home page. I group days as icons. One thing to mention is when you launch, I change the starting point to my location. This takes it to navigation mode if your phone is mounted as your navigation device.
Thanks this helped so much. I am in charge of planning the route for a 3 day trip in Michigan with a lot of new riders not comfortable riding on the expressway and was having trouble getting google maps to go the way I wanted. Looking forward to watching other videos.
Thank you for that information I was going crazy with the Google Map trying to figure out how to do that I looked up online it seem like no one had any real answers stumbled across yours it has been very beneficial for me thank you. Keep up the good work.👍🏍🏍🏍
Really simply explained and demonstrated. Great use of Google Sheets & Offline. The key being to plan the route with a stop at a point where you and your mates can hit the button to the next stage of the ride.
The stage by stage really reduces the complexity of longer rides - can't wait to use this
Awesome video. I've made some in the past but, your spreadsheet makes it a lot more organized and easier.
Thé problem with Google Maps is that every time you arrive at a stop you have to press the screen to continue the route. Impossible to do on a moving bike with gloves on.
The problem is that google maps wants to take you on a different route WHILE you are riding. If you don't so NO it takes you on a route you didn't choose. IT IS RETARDED
@@goofyfoot2001 OMG! I literally had that issue yesterday. Was riding home from visiting a friend, 200 miles or so. Picked a nice route that I know has less traffic and overall more relaxing to ride. Half an hour into the ride, I notice that I'm on the wrong road. Check google maps, it changed the route just like that. I fixed it, went on, only to discover another half an hour into the trip that it changed it back again. I got super fed up, especially because it was really hot and there was a lot of congestion on the roads it was taking me on. I think it prefers to take the faster or shorter route, but sometimes a longer route has less traffic and is more enjoying.
Uh, they make armored touch screen gloves. I found a great pair that work really well. It was on Amazon
@@m.steele5539 exactly. The solution is obvious. Not that difficult. Touch finger, thats's all.
@@patmelsen Google always recalculates the shortest route. You need to add enough waypoints so it can’t do that
Good stuff! Use both for years but I like the creative way you use the tools!
LOVE IT! I have used google sheets and planed my cross country ride and back. Never thought about the link to route so I will incorporate that into my spreadsheet. Great job!
I ride solo but wanted to edit the route to add the twisty roads. Maps kept defaulting back to the more direct routes...so actually this video was for solo riders too! 😉👍
Hi , I use syci for this sole purpose on my motorbike . I can set my A to B points, once I've selected start , I can the go back to the route, tap the screen on the road you want to ride and the system will automatically re-route using your way point. You can alter your route this way for as many times as you like.
It's free to try, but it's really cheap licence to get sl, the functions. Give it a try, I find it better than, Google, calimoto, also there's a free app called Here we go. It's pretty good as well.
Like everything though , it takes getting used to , but it's worth it. 🇬🇧
@@nightofthe8765 how about this: making a route that avoids bigger cities (desktop must be better choice, more precision), then writing down, on paper, where (places, or some pointers on the road, like "field, mountain to the north, river, bridge, factory on the right" or so) you need to turn, and then keeping that paper infront of you while riding. offcourse, android offline maps and good paper maps as a backup.
and a gallon and a half of extra fuel in tank, as you'll get lost anyway....heh...
Absolutely brilliant. I am so happy I seen this one. It opens a whole new avenue of sharing.
Very helpful. I definitely enjoyed and will be using this system. Thanks for the video.
Outstanding concept. This will be a huge help for me planing trips. Thanks for sharing the idea.
cool man. this will be very helpful. thanks for putting this together.
Thanks for the video, it has helped me a lot!! Greetings from Rotterdam, Holland!!
Very good and informative video. I didn't know Google maps and sheets could be combined so usefully. Will be using this for bike trips in the future. Keep on biking!
Good video. Learned a few things in there myself. Am a Garmin / Basecamp user myself in the main but this definitely was useful and am pretty sure would be useful to me even when planning routes as a back up to my Garmin. Good effort thanks
This as great! I use a similar system for my trips but will use Sheets from now on since it’s more organized than Docs. Thanks!
Well done Sir and thanks for taking the time to make the video. I got a few great ideas from it and also a BIG thumbs up from me.
Thanks for sharing, good info and handy to know for any group travelling for a short trip or longer.
Second time watching this video, this time I went along and did it as you explained it.....I will def be using this method going forward as Google constantly thinks that it is smarter than you and wants to change the route the longer you make it.
Thanks this was awesome. Can't wait to use this for some weekend getaways in the driftless area!
Good explanations!
Thanks for sharing
Killer help dude! I wish I had found this video last year when I did a 43 day, 14,000 miles trip. Thanks!!
Super helpful video thanks a ton!
Just ran across this video and it was super helpful! Thank you!
Nice, great information, thanks for sharing 👍🏽
Good tutorial. I plan on trying this with myself. Thank you brother.
Thank you, this was a great tutorial!
Awesome. Thanks buddy. About to set up some group rides for followers to come on with me - you've made life easier... 😊🌟🏍️
Thank you for the info! Never thought of doing it like this. But I like it! Gonna give it a try
Thanks, I'm giving it a try this weekend, excellent use of Google Drive and Sheets.
Genius bro! Great job on this tutorial 👍
Great Tips, this is the way to do it! Thanks!
Great Video advise, thanks. I have been riding for years and this is great advise.
Thanks for sharing. Very simply explained
Great information! Thanks for sharing
This is great. Especially for the camera guy/drone pilot who stops and then needs to catch up. Thanks for sharing.
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Super! Thank you mate, great solution! 🙏🏼✌🏼
Excellent, many thanks for this, really useful, particularly being able to derive shareable route link off google.
Good stuff - thanks - I have a cross Canada ride coming up this summer/fall and this will be a considerable help.
I (and a buddy) planning a cross-Canada trip too -- this is awesome info for the route planning. Vanc Island to Nfld for me. Have a great trip when it happens!
Thank you. I have been looking for something like this!!!!!!
thank you for sharing this google maps tips and tricks.. this is really helpful.. god bless you 🙏
Great video -- all the stuff that I was trying to figure out slowly on my own you addressed in such a great way!! Thanks!! (Planning a ride across Canada coast to coast)
Seen your post and was wondering if you did go across Canada and use Google maps? if so how did it work out ???
Awesome tutorial I watched other ones with Google Maps so confusing you made it look so simple and easy thanks a lot now I need to fix my laptop
What an excellent tutorial, thank you!
Awesome video man, thank you
The best tutorial. Thanks from and ADV rider from South Australia.
Thanks. The destination in between point A and point B makes it so much easier as 'dragging' the routes can get messy.
Great information!!! Thanks, excellent video!!! I love it!!!
Thank you for this man!
Great tutorial thanks I will be trying this.
Excellent tutorial!
I had no idea we could had add way-points in order to add new segments. Many times I have been riding "blind" because I did not know that functionality.
This is REALLY helpful. When riding the route what do you do when you reach the "stops" that you made along the way? It seems to stop the navigation. Also, what do you do when you are riding a planned route but it gets interrupted with a stop you make, such as gas. How do you get it started and on track again?
Great video and tips!!
Very helpful video, thanks. I'm in San Antonio, so I may meet up with y'all when I get a bigger bike.
awesome tutorial!
Great information. Thanks.
great !! will i be able to navigate the route from my mobile google maps app ?
Fantastic information
I done similar routes. Normally I option out of highways then plan. Appreciate the video.
Hooah
This was an awesome video!!! You don’t know how much I’ve wanted to do this for our bike trips, but could never figure it out. Keep up the great work!! Thanks so much!!! Ride safe buddy!
Very useful. Thank you. I use an app called Calimoto, selects random routes etc.
Appreciate the info. Since there is a limit of waypoints, if I was planning 10-12 day trip from TN to WA and back, I would need to break that up in multiple legs? Also after trip is planned , can it be downloaded to the Garmin Zumo XT? Thanks
Great vid. On the routes with "waypoints" does Google jump to the next waypoint after you pass the first, or do you have to tell Google to jump to the next waypoint? Thanks for the vid!
Very cool well done thanks for the tutorial :)
This is really helpful. Tq
Great video. I planned a short ride and used the spreadsheet idea. Worked perfectly. The only issue I have is that when I send the map to a friend or pull up on the phone, When the link is clicked for that leg of the route the app seems to change the route to the shortest route. So all the work pulling the path to roads we want to travel is basically over ridden. I have checked in the nav settings if there is anything I can do to avoid the change but haven't figured out a fix yet. At least the spreadsheet saves some of the broader info so I'm not starting from scratch trying to recreate the route. Suggestions welcome.
Very informative!
Great video. But how do you load the sheets onto your cellphone? Do you send the link to all the riders, to their cell?
A really good vid and posting. I didn't know that. I'm not from the dark ages so to me it was great 👍 Thank you and please keep your content this long rather than the short one 🤞 Thank you 👍 A from the UK.
I call the waypoints my "anchors". That's the only way to solidify the route. Great video.
Plus you can hit the 360° view and view the roads you want to take and see what the roads look like so you know there all good roads to ride.. that's the best part.. we have some real shot roads here in Mi so that comes in handy
Awesome! Thanks!
Fantastic thanks for sharing
Very helpful. I am planning a bucket list ride this coming June from Florida to Jackson Hole Wy. It has been a challenge to determine distances per day as I might be optimistic to cover about 400 to 450 a day. Wanting to do as much scenic riding as possible to get the most enjoyment out of this jpurney
Great video!
Ya but but but your gonna eliminate all the chaos and arguments. Your gonna miss 30 bikes making a U-turn in the middle of the road and 5 falling over...….Great video man, I knew there was a way, I just never really tried to find it. So, thank you for showing me how to do it!!!
Awesome. Thanks man!
Cool video. Thanks!
Reall useful. Thank you
Thanks for sharing
Great video...thank you.
Very usefull. Thanks 👍
Thank you forbthe helpful video. My gripe with the added stops is though that you physically have to pull over and tap your screen to let Google know you have arrived at point A and that you want to move on. Otherwise it keeps wanting to send you back to point A. Any solutions to just keep riding without stopping? Thanks man. Liked and subscribed.
Great tutorial
One question tho.
When you add extra "stops" along a route so it will follow a more curvy road, how do you keep the app from prompting you to continue? I wear heavy gloves when riding and found myself having to stop to tell the app to continue the ride.
Wow. I've been doing this but agonizing over pastes into word with links to google routes... So simple! Thanks for sharing!!!
I like your approach. My question is now how can I call up those legs on my iPhone and navigate them vis CarPlay on the new Honda Gold Wing.
super useful, thanks
Great “how to” video! Thanks!
Awesome
Thx for sharing
Saved routes only coming up as fastest between start and finish. Not as was saved on my desktop. How did you work around this to have the routes properly show up on your phone?
Good info!
Perfect! Thanks.
Thank you so much How can i connect the separate legs of a trip so I can see the entire route at one time thanks again.
