Convert Google Maps data to GPS waypoints

Josh at Communications from Elsewhere has updated his GMapToGPX bookmarklet, that allows you to convert Google Maps search results to GPX waypoints for your GPS. More information can be found in my previous post on this. As Josh opines, it's difficult to keep up with changes to the Google Maps API, so it may break again. Crank out those waypoint files while you can.

I'm not sure what you mean. Could you not get the GMap to GPX bookmarklet to work?
