I'm trying to create a route in mapper for a road trip I have planned.

I tried to use this script to generate a gpx file:
http://www.gnuite.com/cgi-bin/gpx.cgi

When I use this address:
17446 Pintail, Flint, TX 75762
it always gives me this:
Error: An error occurred while attempting to retrieve the driving directions - are the src and destination valid?

If you use that address in google maps, it gives two points and asks you to choose. Could this be the issue? If so, how do I get around it?

It looks like Google doesn't think that that address is in Flint. Just put in the address and the zip code, with no city, and it goes to the correct place. (Putting in Dogwood City, one of the non-options for the zip code, according to the USPS zip code lookup, also works.)

Yes, I think that's the issue. A general solution is to download POI instead, and then get a route to whichever POI is it.
