Hi Christian,
I am using GM2GPX to transfer a Route from Google Maps to my Garmin etrex. I prefer the complete Track with all Trackpoints between Start and End and save it in a GPX-textfile as described in the link above. After loading the Track into my etrex i see the whole Track on the display together with my actual position and can walk or driver "on the line".
If I am using RouteConverter by dragging the Link into the right part of the RouteConverter-Window, I see the Route in the Google Maps Window on the left. But there are only two Waypoints (Start and End of the Route), and only two Trackpoints (also Start and End) in the right part. If I save this to a GPX-File and load it to my etrex, i see also only two points and not the whole track from Start to End.
What I want to say is, that it would be very comfortable, to drag the Route-link from Google Maps to RouteConverter and see all Trackpoints in the Trackpointlist, so that they can be saved to a file and loaded to the Garmin.
Even without this feature a great program and its working very fine to edit the Tracklogs from my Garmin !!
Greetings
Michael
