Google maps mobile app is probably the most problematic app to try to replicate the exact route plotted on another app--Google Maps is simply not designed for that--per Google:
Easiest for anyone using an iOS or Android device would be to install the Scenic app, and then EmptySea can use Scenic's "share" function. This works particularly well, because 1) you don't have to worry about map discrepancies between different apps that can derail navigation, and 2) Scenic is a very well designed and user friendly app.
That said, experienced users of other nav apps such as Kurviger could potentially use the app with which they are familiar instead of Scenic by importing a Scenic .gpx file into their nav app of choice (just fingers crossed that the other app's map and Scenic's map do not have conflicts along the roads being travelled--for example, Kurviger fails to replicate a route correctly because the road Scenic says is two way, Kurviger thinks is one way).
It is Garmin devices such as the Zumo XT that importing a .gpx file is particularly helpful, since--unlike an iOS or Android device, you can't install the Scenic app onto a Garmin device. For Garmin devices, importing a .gpx track is the only option (if anyone needs tips on getting imported gpx files to work correctly on Garmin devices, please just let me know: after many years working with Garmin's Zumo XT and Tread devices, I feel as if I have a pretty good handle on it).
