How do you create a google map?
I can add placemarks where I want to go, but how do I get it to calculate a route from one to the next placemark? |

Go on 'get directions'. Set your start and end places, you can then drag the route with the mouse.

I found a program called ITNConv on the Interweb, which primarily is designed to convert routes from mapping programs (Autoroute, etc.) to those used by SatNav units (TomTom, etc.). It also has an editor that use Google Maps to do a route and generate an itineraray file.

1) Go to google maps.
2) Setup your route ("from: [place] to: [place]"). 3) Click My Maps. 4) Click Create new map. 5) Give it a title. 6) Add any placemarks you want. Done. |

How do you save it after you have made changes to the route? Or can you only ever save it once after you are totally happy with the route (& hopefully your computer doesn't crash in the 2 hours it takes you to do it?)

Once you give it a name, it saves auto-magically. Then if you change the route at all, or add placemarks, there should be a save icon in the top right. It also auto-saves every few minutes.
