I've never created a route before. Any suggestions how to go about it.

I want to make a route for the same bit of map I showed before. Google Maps said it couldn't calculate a route for me. I also tried a web-site called digipoint (http://www.zonums.com/gmaps/digipoint.html), but that only gave me waypoints. I created waypoints at various road intersections - you can see how well these plot in Google Earth below.

Digipoint uses Google Maps, so it's not really surprising that they agree.
