Is there a way to open up a trip planin Google maps

Looks like if you click on the little wrench icon, you can choose Send to GPS. From there you can send to Google. Here is a small snippet from that page:

The GPS file exports above are in two file formats. The GPX export can be loaded into Google Maps and many standalone GPS units. The GPX export will export the stops, waypoints, and route selected in RV Trip Wizard. For step by step instructions to import the GPX file to Google Maps see: Importing your trip map to Google Maps

I've tried this because I want to share a map of my trip, which had 43 stops.

When I export the GPX, the resulting GPX file has only 17 stops. The other 26 stops aren't in the export. I know this because I opened the GPX file in a text editor and reviewed it.

The CSV export includes all 43 stops, but when I import that file into Google Maps, I get nothing but a collection of points - no routing.

You can only route 20 or so stops in Google Maps, 26 in Bing Maps, and something less than that in Mapquest. So even if it had a way to import the route, you'd have to break it up.

RVTW is great in part because it can route so many stops.

Thanks, good to know. I wonder whether I can take advantage of the layers feature of Google Maps' "My Map" by breaking the trip into pieces and putting each piece into a layer on the map. I'll have to experiment a bit.
