I have been searching for a nav app I can use when riding a motorcycle that allows me to customize the route. The issue I am encountering with the apps I have found is they don't have the ability to specify a route- it will choose what it thinks is the best route.
I can build a route in google maps using a specific route, but there is no way (I can find) to get it into the Maps app to utilize the turn-by-turn directions. I was able to log into Google Maps using the browser on the phone, go to menu and select "My Places" and then select directions and open the route in the browser. The problem is when I attempt to open the route with the Maps app instead (to utilize the turn-by-turn function of the app), the app won't load the route stating it has no result for various points.
Here is an example of a route, again the intent is to get an app that would give turn-by-turn directions so I can get the prompts hands free during a ride:

This has proven very frustrating... If someone can suggest a work-around or a navigation app that allows custom routes, I'd appreciate it!
