I have a route set up in Google Maps with 24 destinations, actual destinations, not just 'route through here' by dragging the route. The links both (short and long) open the exactly correct route, but when I drag the link into RouteConverter, only 4 waypoints are placed on the map, so the route is obviously very different. Those 4 waypoints are the only ones that show they have co-ordinates, the others are just names, which is no doubt why RouteConverter cannot place them.
When I study the URL produced by Google Maps, there are indeed only 4 sets of co-ordinates. The other waypoints are just names, in some cases, just the road name. But somehow, the information contained in the URL is sufficient for Google Maps to accurately place the waypoints. Unfortunately, it seems that RouteConverter is unable to do the same.
Is there any way that RouteConverter can make full use of ALL the waypoints from a Google Maps' URL?
Would it be any better if the route was first exported to KML?
How can one currently export a Google Maps' route to KML. Every method I've tried seems to be broken. Google appear to be doing their best to prevent anyone from doing this, but if anyone can suggest how it is still possible, please let me know. (appending &output=kml doesn't work).
