Once you've chosen a route, after you click on "Details", you have a couple of options:
- Send to your phone
- Depending on your device, you can get the directions sent to the Google Maps on your phone, sent to email, or sent via text
- Share
- a link
- code to embed a map on a web page
- Print
- with or without mini maps
It seems to me that the simplest option for coming back to directions later is to get the link and save the link somewhere. There is even an option to shorten the link, so you can get something like https://goo.gl/maps/unAMRv2oXQL2 instead of https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Mets-Willets+Point/Sag+Harbor,+NY/@40.8383632,-73.6327663,9z/am=t/data=!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x89c25fdf0a2e25f3:0x3abb28977780008d!2m2!1d-73.8437!2d40.75239!1m5!1m1!1s0x89e8bd23cca70ca7:0xd8ff0f5b96c0899d!2m2!1d-72.2925819!2d40.9978773

I've followed the instructions. It gives no option to save the route or send it to your phone. Everytime I ask for directions to the specific destination it defaults to the shitty route I don't want to take. How can this be so complicated? Any help greaty appreciated.

Or, similar to the above, In Google Maps next to the "Send to your phone button" is a button for "Share link" Copy the web address it provides and Paste it into the web site Maps to GPX https://mapstogpx.com/ Press the "Let's Go" button and a GPX file will be downloaded to your PC. Go to My Maps, create a New Map and click on Import to import the GPX file and voila you can save your map.
Hi, I searched all over the web but I can't find a way to accomplish my goal.
I've a "My maps" map with custom routes that are build to cath all the spot walking around.
I'd like to export these routes to GMap so I can start to walk around following the directions but I can't figure out a way to do this simple task.
Have you any idea on how to do this?
My maps is perfect to plan something but this thing drives me crazy.
