How to get a map from Google maps to an Android phone?

OsmAnd does, long press somewhere and add that as a waypoint to go via there. Other than that, what editing precisely do you need? Also, this phone sw build sounds utter crap. Maybe root it and put Cyanogenmod on, then all these problems will disappear.

There's OSMAnd, which takes GPX tracks and is open source and generally awesome. The authentication for your Google account is presumably working for you to download from the Play store, but you can also email yourself the share link for the route and open that on the phone. This should offer you the option to open the route on Maps on the phone. Do you get Gmail delivered to your phone? If so, the account is logged in.

If you save the map to "My Maps" from your desktop it should be there in My maps when you open maps while logged into Google from the phone. It works for me, although I'm running Android 4.x.

There's no Google account on the phone (I got the Google Maps app from http://1mobile.com/. I don't have any kind of sync activated, because it doesn't work. The Account bit in Android settings where you enter your Gmail account isn't there for me. I can log into Gmail and such in the browser, but there's no account that the phone itself is tied to. I've emailed the link to the map to myself, and can open that link from Gmail, via Dolphin. I can view the map, but I can't seem to get it from maps.google.com into the app Google Maps.

Are you running some sort of custom mod? I've never tried it but I've read about them and I know with some (most? all? no idea) you actually have to download the google components separately from the mod (copyright issue?) and install them yourself. What phone are you using? What carrier?

Under Google Maps Classic, in the top right corner of the left side sidebar, above the directions, there's a button with a chain icon next to the print button, that you can click to get a URL for a link to that particular map view, or HTML for embedding it. (This feature seems to be one of the things that's been removed under their new "cleaned up" maps interface, unfortunately). Can you use the link from that to get your map onto your phone? You'd have to view the map in your phone's web browser and not in the maps app directly, but there is an option for a shortened URL to make it easier to type.

Getting closer. By saving the map to My Maps and then logging into the Google account on the phone's browser, and then saving the URL of the KML data and pasting that into the Search bar in Google Maps, I can get the map to load. However, it won't let me use Navigation to use the data. It just takes me to my current location and then asks for an endpoint.

Yesterday I emailed a link with modified directions to myself and then clicked the link. First I clicked open in browser and then there was an option for me to open it with maps, and it worked fine for me. I was using Gmail and an Android phone, ymmv.

aniola, could you make it Navigate using the custom map? I can make it view the map, I just can't seem to make it tell me where to go. In other news, MapQuest behaves in a similar way Google Maps, in that it won't let you customise a map on the phone. Nor will Skobbler or OsmAnd, as far as I can tell.
