Save Route
The Save Route Tool can be used to plot a series of connecting markers representing a route. You can then save this route as a file to recall and edit later. This is useful because you can then come back to edit a route, or share it with others.
Note : This tool currently works to an extent although the format of the xml file will be changing whilst this tool is in Beta. In other words a file you save today may not be loaded an understood correctly tomorrow. I will try to stabilise this as soon as possible.

Load An XML File
Navigate to an xml file saved on your computer and then click Load to load it into the map above. Note: The file must end in .xml and be of a format supported by this tool.
Information
Please note : This tool has limited functionality at the current time.
Known Issues / Future Plans
- The saved file will not remember the status of the map view (Map / Satellite / Hybrid)
- Once a route is loaded, it is only possible to edit the last marker i.e. add or remove it. It should be possible to move or remove all markers
- The ability to leave comments on each / any marker
- The ability to plot more than one route on the same map
- The ability to leave comments at a point not on a route
- Allow user to choose from various marker styles to signify different points.
If you have any suggestions or feedback, then please contact us.

The distance calculation is wrong. Kindly check
By Prasanna Vignesh R on 02/09/2009
The calculated distance seems to be way off and varies for the same route when you vary the number of markers used.
