Quoted from Howard-

If you want to load the .GPX into Google Maps you first must convert them to KML files and they will then load  but show hundreds of additional routing points but they are not a lot of use. I have not found any way of loading them Google Maps / Android as a route & haven't had any success with the alternate android app I tried (OsmAmd) .

If you want to use Google Maps try converting the .CSV file to a .KML and that should create routes close to the road book that can be loaded into Google Maps. Can you let me know if you are successful? The file converter I used is given again below:-

The following link describes a procedure for loading the POI into Google for use as route

I had to convert all files to KML and then to GPX again and I was finally able to properly upload them on Google Maps - for viewing purpose only - and on OsmAnd.

Yes, the problem with importing into Google Maps is not about file formats. You can import the GPX into Google Maps and stash it away in your "My Maps". What you cannot then do, as far as I can tell, is USE them in any way. You can open them on your phone but you cannot navigate with them. It's as if Google are deliberately making it useless.
