The web is a journalist’s medium. It influences every part of the journalistic process, from how we find and gather information, to how we craft our stories, to how we track the far reaches of our content. Understanding how it works can only make us better journalists. The best way to know the web is to take charge of it. We’re using open web technologies to build stories, apps, tools, and sites. You can too. If there’s one thing we understand, it’s that learning is a messy process. Come roll around in the mud with us.

Export Google Maps Route to KML/GPX - Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange
▻https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/152571/export-google-maps-route-to-kml-gpx
Since Google pulled the plug on Google Maps Classic, I’m reluctantly moving to its Google Maps New application.
However, I didn’t find how to export a route to a GPX or KML file so it can be copied onto my smartphone.
Can it do this? If not, is there a third-party solution?
