GPX for the recorded track
The GPX export contains the complete saved GPS track. A suitable application can import and display those points. It supports review without reconstructing a route from a few waypoints.
Export routes In use
Use the driven route beyond the app.
RoadReview supports GPX export of the saved GPS track and links to mapping apps. Choose a format depending on whether you want to inspect a track or calculate a route.
GPX tracks and mapping links serve different purposes
A recorded track and a navigation route are not the same. GPX transfers the saved points. A Maps link hands over key locations from which the mapping service calculates a new route.
Maps for a new route calculation
The Google Maps link uses selected waypoints; Apple Maps receives the start and destination. The mapping app calculates its own course. It may differ from the recorded track.
Choose the right format
The GPS track is useful for comparing a driven route. Mapping links can help with navigation, but should be checked before use. The route catalogue remains the place to find useful routes within the school.
Three steps
Choose the appropriate export format
Select a lesson
Open a saved lesson with a GPS track.
Choose a format
Use GPX or an available mapping link.
Check the result
Inspect the imported track or calculated route in the destination app.
What the destination app does with the data
The destination app must support the selected format. Mapping links do not guarantee an identical route. Export is not proof of a test route.
Students use RoadReview through a participating driving school. New schools can register their interest; the enquiry does not automatically activate access.
Questions about route export
Is GPX the same as a Google Maps link?
No. GPX contains the saved track. Google Maps calculates a route from selected waypoints.
Why does a mapping app change the route?
It calculates the course itself using the supplied points and its current routing data.
Where can I keep useful school routes?
The route catalogue collects driven routes for future preparation within the school.
Use recorded routes beyond the app.
