I see that Googlemaps.com have changed there format again with some nice improvements like a tool that when you get your route planned you can browse your route turn by turn as well as some other nice features.
For those of you that don't know here is a program that works with TomTom & Google maps.
http://houghi.org/tomtom/
( This site was down for a month or so but is back up now)
This program works something like Tyre but instead of using Google earth you use Google maps and you don't need to put in a bunch of waypoints.
With Houghi you go direct to Googlemaps.com put in your start and finish points zoom in start an finish points and move them a few feet. (Put them back if you like) Open the link folder in Google maps copy the link then open Houghi and past it in the blank box click Submit Query and it will create a TomTom itinerary file, save the file to your computer for future use or copy direct to your internal memory itn folder.
(With the Google maps interface if you want to change the route all you need to do is click on the route and drag it where you want.)
All the credit goes to Houghi for this program.
Many Thanks
