I love Google Earth but they stopped most updates and are pushing users toward Google Maps.
One nice feature with Google Maps, is once it sets a route, you can click and drag to force an intermediate stop. So if you have way-point you want to hit or a place you want to avoid, just drag the route to or away.
Is there a reason, you are trying to export it to Google Earth? They have an automated option to send it to your phone version of Google Maps, so you can use it in the car. If you really need to do it, there are some after markety tools you can download to a KLM file but I haven't messed with them as I haven't needed them.
Others here I PM'd with recommended using it with Earth? But if Map's is good, I can skip it.
Have you found away to save a route you planned in Maps and go back to edit it later, just wondering
Thanks

There are 3rd party applications that can create a KML file. It used to be built into the system but my understanding is they are pushing people towards G. Maps, so they have taken away or orphaned features.
G. Earth does have route finding but not as full featured. You could set up a route in G. Maps and then recreate it in G. Earth by adjusting the start and end points (usually shorter routes are very close to the same). You can then save 2-3 routes to show a day of travel. (sounds worse than it is)
Since G. Maps is the GPS enabled application on your phone, it's not critical to have the G. Earth route exact unless you have some specific reason.
