Skin IGO NextGen LUNA by Pongo (DISCUSSION)

Yes, I know that. But it transfers only the destination. Do for example this test. Make a route with google maps, choose the worst alternative route and transfer it to Luna. You will see that it will calculate the optimum route and not the one you sent.

Yes, it just transfers the destination to me too.

No, you can plan a route and transfer it to iGO. If you have created a route in Google Maps, click the three dots on the top right, select share route, select map2geo, select the program you want to transfer to and the route will be transferred in the selected program. In Google Maps, I enter addresses by voice, and I never use search in IGO, only through Google Maps + Map2Geo in iGO...

The safest way is to create a route with Google Earth, save it in kml and place the file in iGO_xxxx/content/userdata/ROUTE

Don't complicate it, is Google Earth built into a smartphone? You can also save the route already transferred from Google Maps to iGO, if you need it...

I think that AnthonyGreek is right.
I tested it by going to the three dots and then share direction and unfortunately Google maps planned route cannot be transferred to iGO via Map2Geo.
Only designation coordinates.
iGO takes into account the destination received from Google maps and then creates it's own route according to it's route preferences and it's traffic input. If an alternative route (to the same destination) is chosen in Google maps then it cannot be transferred to iGO via Map2Geo. iGO is always creating it's own preferred route.

There are still many things that I prefer to do via computer, Google Earth works very well, I planned a tour of some cities in Tuscany for a friend and he found it good.

Yours is a very vague description and whoever is interested can't get what you say, so you have to describe all the various steps in a precise way......... however I remain of my opinion, some things are done better with the computer.....

I want to refresh your memory:

_ Start iGO LUNA (Imperative).
_ Start Google Maps to choose a destination.
_ Then choose > Share the place > Transfer to other map (Map2Geo).
_ Choose iGO Luna.
_ iGO Luna opens with the route pending.
_ Good road.

AND...

@batiskaf your screenshots don't show the final result. The route in iGO.
Do you get the same route (Google maps route) in iGO?
And the most important, if you change the route (different route... Longer or shorter distance) in Google maps, to the same destination, do you get this different route in iGO via Map2Geo? How this can be achieved?
Unfortunately, in my case, iGO is always projecting the same route, even though I am trying to send different routes to the same destination from Google maps to iGO.
iGO is always creating it's own route to the same destination. Did I miss something?
