This is an old entry in a series of post about converting Google Maps directions to GPX. Original post, Update #1, Update #2, Update #3, Update #4, Update #5, Update #6.

In a previous post I shared an experimental tool that I had been tinkering with that converts Google directions to GPX format.

After quite a few interesting suggestions and discussions with readers I want to present Update #1 to this tool.

Try it

Major changes

• New and more user friendly UI with error checking.
• More control over output format and output file types (the tool now defaults to generating a file that has the broadest compatibility with the GPX standard).
• Auto-generation of unique route point names (format "RPxxx").
• Option to include the full direction text with each route point in the <desc> field.
• Option to include a brief next turn information with each route point in the <cmt> field.
• Optional JSON response for future web-development

Try it
