sharing marked spots on google maps mobile ?

Recommended Posts

So, I've got a bunch of cool hunting spots marked on Google Earth on my home desktop. I want to have those places show up on my mobile phone on Google Maps, or any other mapping app. Is their a way to transfer waypoints from the desktop to the mobile, or create them on the mobile? I have figured out how to make the .kml files, but transferring them to the mobile has so far been impossible.

Anyone know how? Thanks.

When you create them on your PC they're listed as "My Maps", correct? All you should have to do is turn this layer on when using Google Maps on your phone. Make sure that you're logged into your gmail account in Google Maps and it should sync.

I have some hunting areas outlined that I did with my PC and then later when I'm in the field I can use my phone to find them again easily, using Google Maps.

edit: Just re-read your post and missed that you created these maps with Google Earth. Hmmmm. Good question.

I tried for hours last night and am tired of banging my head against the wall. I'm starting to believe I need to use the GPX app. It's over my head.

Maybe transfer my waypoints to google maps on the desktop and than transfer to mobile???

I think I'll wait till ice season and than try and figure it out. Their is just too much hunting to do right now.

If I ever figure it out I'll be sure to post it here.
