Not sure which thread this should be in or if a new “Mapping” thread should be started with all the cool stuff out there and paper as well.
One way I do like to get a big picture is by exploring places and if. I find one that I’d like to revisit I like to “star” it in Google maps. I can move these. To Gaia or the other way around. Having a bunch of starred places one can then make routes in a way that makes sense.
That being said I use a number of map platforms so I can be of line and use a gps . I do most planning with atlases (paper) but mark it on Google.
So here is my conundrum… I pride myself at being dogged in solving something that just isn’t working but I can’t even find help online for what I see as a simple question.
I have 85 starred waypoints on Google map (in My Places). Clear as a bell on my laptop OS. I open the same map in IOS (iPad or iPhone) and the starred waypoints are not there (unless they were made on IOS). I am signed into my Google account but the starred waypoints are not syncing between the two platforms. They should.
I use an iPad as an offline map with a separate gps (through Bluetooth). It helps the copilot (me Mrs.) see where we are and look ahead to some of the starred stuff on the route that might be a second or third choice looking for a spot to sleep or looking for alternatives….. or as she like to call them options.
So if anyone has had this issue or might steer me to where to look it would be much obliged. I have done a bunch of wordings in Google search as well as Apple forums. Seems searching engines are trying to steer one elsewhere rather than simple verbatim searching. I get really angry at the suggestions or wags as to what I want…. Just answer the question!!!! I scream at the screen!
