Google map to GPX

http://www.elsewhere.org/journal/gmaptogpx/


The Google Maps API is great, but it doesn’t have an easy way to export data in GPX format. This bookmarklet is my attempt at a hack to get information out of Google Maps and into GPX, suitable for loading on a GPS.
This bookmarklet can create a GPX file based on driving directions, an address search or a local search. The GPX file will contain a route, a single waypoint, or up to ten waypoints, respectively. The code for extracting waypoints from local search originally came from this page.
If you’re looking for a utility to display GPX files in Google Maps, I recommend GPS Visualizer.
