My first attempt at creating a route...

[+Pharmadude]

I don't know why this is not working

I created a route (Maple Falls, WA to Safeco Field, Seattle) in Google Earth

Saved it as KML

Previewed the route - looks absolutely correct.

Uploaded it to pocket query.

And ended up with a bizarre route that veers all over the map and ends up somewhere out in the water in the San Juans.

 

I've tried this 3 times, using slightly different starting and ending points and still get the weird skewing.

(I just tried Bellingham to Safeco and that worked just fine. There is obviously some glitch between Maple Falls that is causing havoc with the routing)

There are a couple of ways of making routes in Google Earth. Did you use the 'Ask for directions' method, or did you use the Path tool? The Path tool creates a 'track' rather than a route, and I've never had much luck with it, even after using GPS Babel to convert the track to a route.

 

So lately, I've been using the 'ask for directions' approach, and it works like a champ for me. Hope that helps!

Try previewing the results of the pocket query - the shown route doesn't always match the true route (known issue) but the route may still work.

I agree, quite a few of mine look screwed up on the map, but the PQ always seems to come out ok.
