FAQs about Google Maps
There are at least three ways to achieve this:
- choose 'Send' on the Google Maps page and send the route as an email to yourself, then drag and drop the email body from the mail program into RouteConverter
- choose 'URL for this page' on the Google Maps page to display an URL for the current route, then drag and drop the URL into RouteConverter
- drag and drop the Google Maps URL from the Webbrowser into RouteConverter
To drop something into RouteConverter choose the right side of RouteConverter. The left side is used for the map which is an embedded web browser which cannot be used as a drop target.
Unfortunately Google changed the format of the geocode parameter to something unreadable and I currently have no clue how to decode this. Please drop me a message if you have an idea or come across an idea how to solve that problem. As a workaround you may append "&output=kml" to the Google Maps URL which returns the route as a Google Earth file which may be opened in RouteConverter.
Besides the geocode-Parameter postions which have been created by using the textfields in Google Maps cause problems: Here the coordinates are missing since Google Maps can precisely restore them by geocoding and thus does not include them in the URL. If RouteConverter does this geocoding the results may be wrong sometimes.
