This web page now uses version 3 of the Google maps API.
The old API version 2 web page is here.

The old API version 2 web page is likely to stop working on November 19th 2013 when Google pulls the plug on the API version 2
Notes:
This web page only works fully with Microsoft Internet Explorer ®. In other browsers it has limited functionality. e.g. the paste functions don't work.
Uploaded routes or tracks can contain up to 2000 points however you can upload more than one file. But because javascript is so slow in practice you'll only be able to upload a couple of hundred.
New routes or tracks generated by this web page can contain up to 2000 points.
Points must be in this format lat="51.572802" lon="-1.298446" and not degrees/minutes. Points are truncated to six decimal places when loaded into this web page to avoid a bug in Googlemaps that would otherwise make them unclickable.
Uploaded points can be added to the user created points list by using the 'Import tags' button.
The 'User created points' list is in GPSSC route format. You can copy this section and paste directly in to a GPSSC route file.
Alternatively use the Output buttons for a GPX compliant format.
If you intend to re-import user created points back into this web page at a later date you will need to output and save them in route gpx format.
In Google directions you can enter places as their names, e.g. Reading,UK, as a Postcode or as a latitude/longitude pair, e.g. 51.572802,-1.298446.
Latitude/longitude pairs are good for getting directions for places that do not have a name. You can open this page in a second browser tab and click on the map to get a latitude/longitude pair and then copy/paste the values in to your direction place fields.
When using via's in Google directions place a cross in the Enable check box to include the place in the directions.
The 'Stop at via' check box indicates a stop in your journey at the via location rather than just a place that you want to pass through.
If you want to get Google directions for a place with no name then you can use latitude and longitude instead. Get an aproximate route first and then click on the map to create a new marker at your place. Use the latitude and longitude of the marker to get new directions.
If you want to clear all your user points then use the browser refresh function to reload this web page.
In IE when you first click on the map you will probably be prompted to allow scripts. You will need to allow scripts for the web page to work. Once you have allowed scripts retry what you were doing.
The Opera browser can be used with this web page but the IE paste functions will not work.
