navigation, android, saved route.

First off apologies if this is better in the phone forum. Essentially what I want to do is create a route on google maps, and load it onto the phone with turn by turn navigation.
I can load the route into maps on the phone no worries, but google navigation won't navigate it, only to a single destination, not via the route.
Waze also won't do it. Any suggestions?
Thanks

You can't basically.

The only way you can do it, I've found at least, is get the route up on your PC then instead of saving it to your map, use Chrome to phone to send that page to your phone and open it in Google Maps.

Unless anyone knows of a secret?!

I can get the map up in google maps no problems, it's just the navigation that I can't.

FWIW, simply save it to My places on google maps, then on the phone open up maps, layers, my places and it will be there, simply load it up.

Yea like I said, If you get your route up on your PC and send it to your phone via Chrome to phone it allows you to navigate it.
