If I click on the Edit button at this point the KML link disappears, but if I then click Done it goes back to previous route view, and KML link once again is available. I do not see an "embed" link, and since I never used it I don't recall seeing this link in the past.
I haven't used Google Maps KML export data more than a few times, but in my case it appears to work fine and is not too complicated. Try it again, Walter.
When I select My Places I see my routes. Then I select one and I see the route but do NOT see a kml link anywhere.
This is my Ride to Vogul route.
I wish I could select Classic google maps but I don't see that anymore either.
I also found Create With Classic Google Maps and tried that. It created a map that was much more like what I've seen in the past (still listed under My Places). But this one too, is missing a link to download kml.
