My google home page using firefox 29.0.1

The way it should works

Click on bike routes https://maps.google.com/

get directions etc see sample screen below


Clicking the gmaptogpx bookmarklet fails.

What should happen is that a gpx generate script should be created which I can the pass on gps visualizer So that I can down load a route onto my garmin

I know zip about java scripts. I am trying to use the firefox tools “web console” to try and solve the problem and notify the developer.

The forum allows attaching screen shots to a reply as image files, but not as a Word document.

Did you find particular error message in the web console (ctrl+shift+k) or browser console (ctrl+shift+j) after invoking the bookmarklet? You should be able to select/copy those.

First, I edited github to githubusercontent in the script address. This is based on a redirect from GitHub.

Second, switch from the "new" maps to the "classic" maps.

Okay, now I get a red bordered white box that says Loading. Nothing loads.

In the Browser Console I see this error message:

"Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://www.google.com/maps/preview?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=mandarin+oriental+hotel,+bangkok&daddr=Siam+Paragon+Shopping+Center+Bangkok+Thailand&hl=en&geocode=FVlp0QAdwbn9BSHlyolmM86yCymzoKfJxJjiMDHlyolmM86yCw%3BFb_C0QAdcAr-BSGjFUU22RBMJikHkVjkzZ7iMDGjFUU22RBMJg&sll=37.269174,-119.306607&sspn=3.89877,17.62207&vpsrc=0&dirflg=r&ttype=now&noexp=0&noal=0&sort=def&mra=ltm&ie=UTF8&t=m&z=13&start=0. This can be fixed by moving the resource to the same domain or enabling CORS."

Working around this will require embedding the script in a different way.
