*** ~ Importing Directions From Google Maps & I Wish I Could Apologise ~ ***
Google maps does not have any GPS coordinates, routes, waypoints or tracks to transfer to mapfactor navigator (blame google not mapfactor.) In any case why would you want to do that? If you prefer Google Maps directions why not just use that as you…
