Google Map directions converted to GPX file

http://www.elsewhere.org/journal/gmaptogpx/ GMapToGPX Version 6.4j: 2011.07.12 The Google Maps API is great, but it doesn’t have an easy way to export data in GPX format. This bookmarklet is my attempt at a hack to get information out of Google Maps and into GPX, suitable for loading on a GPS.
Students, the race is on! You will be creating a Travel Bug as well as setting it free to journey from your school to explore the United States as well as other places in the world. Hopefully your Travel Bug will have a chance to explore the USA as well as sending details and pictures of its travels! What is a Travel Bug? A Groundspeak Travel Bug is a trackable item that moves from place to place, picking up stories along the way. Here you can add your own story, or live vicariously through each bug's adventures.

Verizon Wireless, the nation’s premier provider of wireless products and services, announced today the availability of VZ NavigatorTM – a new tool for customers that gives them access to a wide array of Location Based Services (LBS) options, including mapping, audible turn-by-turn navigation and the ability to find over 14 million points of interest. We reported on this in December, now Verizon is getting around to launching the service. Initially available on the new Motorola V325, VZ Navigator is perfect for road warriors who are constantly on-the-go, allowing them to see a map of their current location or an address in the U.S., locate places such as restaurants, gas stations, banks and other points-of-interest relative to their location, plus hear turn-by-turn navigation with audible voice directions to an address in the U.S.
