I downloaded the route to my phone so it should work off line too. I never used it before.

I typically lay out the route on a bigger screen -- laptop or desktop machine -- for convenience. This method will produce a link to the exact route I laid out, which I can then send to whatever device will be stuck to my dash during the drive. If I had Apple CarPlay it could then be displayed on the car's infotainment screen.
I'm open to anything. When I've tried what you're saying I've had Google modify the route. It's especially tough because we're taking so many side roads.
This is why we’ll all get along …. It seems as we’re all the same person in different forms lol guess I’m not the only one trying to match my car to walkie talkies

I do the exact same. Works well. And you will not lose cell serivce on this planned route unless you have Boost Mobile or Cricket Wireless or something.
Off topic but posting here for geographic reasons. My build freeze date is Sep 14 so won't be able to join this trip to bear mountain. I live in Glen Ridge, NJ and am agonizing over whether or not I'll need FAL. My driveway is steep, but not crazy. On the other hand this is my first 911 and planned as a forever car, so while i don't want to spend an extra $2700, I obviously will if necessary. I don't suppose anyone on here is super close to 07028 and able to drop by? I'm not getting SD, which I've read makes the overhang worse. Please DM me if you think you might be able to assist: I would be very grateful! Thanks!
To make Google Maps work, you have to add 'Stops' to keep the route correct. Otherwise, when you load the route, it won't be what you planned.
I have a route that I took through that area that was pretty good. Having trouble sharing a link because with the stops it makes the URL super long. Happy to email it to anyone if interested.

Hmm. I thought I did that. Sure, email me the link. I'll PM you.

I have SD and I'm lowered otherwise I would stop by for ya. This might be a job for @ECNJ
Wont be able to make this but I was just running Arden Valley two weekends ago and it was great. I believe Bear is still closed but Seven Lakes / Arden / the other road off the circle were all open and good fun.
Is this a 911T only or if you 911TT you can still come? I just found this thread and would join in.
Everyone is trying to sneak in! Look what I received from some lowly GT3. Violaters will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, which is nothing 😁
So sure, you can come. But you have to stay in the back of the pack and out of the photo shoots. Oh and buy lunch. LOL 😆
(But seriously, we don't want this turning into a huge Porsche event. Metro PCA has a trek that same day for that.)
