If anyone starts working on this please let me know. I have a very old
patch that
implements most of this functionality. The patch probably no longer works
but would
have some valuable code.

I, too, like the merged "Issue 111" ("take maps from mapmyride.com and
other locations, import them, then use them to provide turn-by-turn
directions"). I use RideWithGPS to draw routes and create a GPX, but I
cannot find anything to give me the turn-by-turn directions with street
names to ride that drawn route.

My idea was to integrate with Google Maps Navigation. I don't know what
file format it uses for it's route directions, but if you want to make a
circuit from your house that comes back to your house, Google Navigation
won't help since you are already at your destination when you begin

I thought that a GPX --> Google Maps Navigation conversion/integration
would create what's necessary to let me ride a newly created route (that
I've never ridden) without a hardcopy cue sheet, or ride an older ride
which I no longer have memorized. When you ride 40-60mi rides, memorizing
them all is difficult.

Thanks.

I don't think the turn by turn direction is really important in a first
time. But at least displaying a kml file/other source (mapmyride) as
overlay on the screen is a good start.

The latest Android Google Maps allows activating My Maps as additional
layers - this would work well for planning a route at home and then using
Tracks to follow and record the route.

Well, Julian, that isn't exactly what I'm hoping for, but will certainly
help me know if I'm on the right route. Thanks.

Sorry jolleymd, I wasn't clear. I was suggesting that merging the Maps
functionality into Tracks would be a way forward for some talented
developer. I really want to be able to do this. I would like to be able
to plan a route in Mapmywalk, use the import function in Google Maps to
create a map in MyMaps and then activate this layer in MyTracks so I can
follow the route and watch my track at the same time. At the moment I swap
backwards and forwards between Maps and Tracks which is not ideal but it is
very useful.

So please can one of the devs have a look and see if merging the MyMaps
layer functionality from Google Maps into MyTracks is possible. Thanks!

I find this particular feature extremely important in case you want to ride
in a new area. I found myself very often switching between the MT app and
a browser, just to make sure I took the right turn.

There are two separate steps here:
1) Locating a track and importing it into MT. This is a big use cases, as
you can imagine that ideally we would like to import from any source (e.g.
other social sites, Google Maps, GPX file, user edited map, etc.)
2) Being able to see the second overlay while recording a track.

I don't want to speculate on 1) (we already have some interesting ideas),
so let's assume that we have the track already imported into the app.

The second part seems to be much simpler. User should be able to select the
other track from the list of all tracks as a background overlay (which can
be drawn using different (and/or transparent) color). In order to
implement this functionality, we need to refactor MyTracksOverlay and its
parent class MyTracksMap.

I extremely need this functionality since I always follow new tours
(downloaded from mtb websites as gpx files). I think that the integration
with Google Navigator is not so important, a view of the loaded track is
enough.
But it would be great if MT could warn the user if he take the wrong way
(maybe with an alert sound).

Congratulations for the latest update. The new UI is awesome.

I am really surprised that nothing has been done since 2012... A second
averlay would be an awesome killer features.

A lot of people are buying a Garmin device to have a preloaded map and
follow the path.
Many websites provide kml or gpx files to have a track to follow and
discover new path.

Unfortunately, the only workaround (comment 9) is great but still require a
data connection.

Please, MyTrack team, do something!

If people are interested I plan to download the source and add my own
implementation, does some other de'vs would like to work with me on this
(if MyTracks team does not want to do so...) and create a patch on github?

This functionality is just essential for My Tracks.

It's the minimun you expect from a app like that.

Don't want to spam, I'm not affiliated to them but I can recommend 'My
Trails' from FrogSparks which does exactly what I was looking for.

Yes I am still waiting for this functionality.
Simply adding a route to follow.
Start development by allowing users to follow a previously recorded row in
Google My tracks.
The test will follow logically.

This avoids the need for importer code in the first milestone.
The rest will follow logically.
