search/zoom to one end.
right click, select "Directions to/from"

search/zoom to other end.
right click, select "Directions to/from"


do some magic to export that route as a KML file. (.... I'm pretty sure
that's possible to do that, but I lack the exact recipe)

if gpsdrive (latest svn) won't load that directly as a route (import GPX
route) use gpsbabel or ogr2ogr to convert KML->GPX)

(AFAIR KML is highly GPX-like)


A nice thing to add to the wiki if you can figure it out...
