Google My Maps to Nokia Landmarks

You can add all the POIs in a map created by you in Google Maps to your Nokia Landmarks. To do it you’ll only need GPSBabel to convert a KML file to the format understood by Nokia Landmarks/Nokia Maps – .lmx (Landmarks Exchange Format). Use the GUI in GPSBabel to do the conversion. It’s straightforward.
The only problem is getting the KML out of Google Maps, for that you have to right click “View in Google Earth” and copy the link to the clipboard, then paste that into the address bar but change the “output=nl” to “output=kml”, press enter, then save the KML file.
Sometimes the “View in Google Earth” option doesn’t show up when we’re just looking at the map, but I can’t say exactly why that happens. All I know is that if I edit the map, it appears. Then it’s just a matter of transferring the file to the phone and opening it with the phone’s file manager.
