For anyone interested in the posting of the "weekend of trailriding 9th 10th June" route on Google Maps:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=...1.930718,-1.728973&spn=0.012437,0.028925&z=15
There is an explanation of the rather convoluted way of getting a route in Google Maps on that thread.
However there is an easier way of converting your GPS waypoints and routes to Google Maps :
http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/
This is a pretty comprehensive site for converting GPS data form one format to another including Google formats.
You can also get instantaneous results to view a route in Google Maps but it is hosted only temporarily on the gpsvisualizer site.
If you want a persistent record to share with other people you still need to go down the route of:
create kml file (gpsvisualizer does this)
upload kml file onto some web space (if you have an email account you probably have some web space)
in Google Maps point to the URL of the kml file.
Its easy but if anyone wants step by step instruction .... happy to oblige.
