I have created a map with google maps that has enough locations to be on two pages. When I copy the "Link" into takeitwithme, it only loads the locations on a single page. Does anyone know how I get it to load all locations to my GPX file?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I have created many POI's with takeitwithme, but they have all been single page (just a few locations). For some reason when I click "load my map" it only shows the locations from that page on google maps.

Make sure I understand.When you click on load my maps you don't see the same markers you had on Google maps?If that is correct you most likely did not copy the link page correctly.On Google maps when you click on link located in the same area as ( RSS View in Google, Earth Print, Send, Link)on upper right.When you click on it the url will be highlighted blue.Just right click on it and click save.Then go paste it in takeitwithme.

When I click on load my maps, I only see the markers that are on the current google maps page not all of them. So if I am on page 2 of my map locations, that is all that shows up on takeitwithme. If i am on page 1 of my google map, then I only see those locations on the takeitwithme map.
Sorry for all the confution.

I done a run on my maps and when I click load my maps with takeitwithme I see all the markers that I had on Google maps.You may have to reduce it down to see all of them if a big file.If you done the Google maps correctly and pasted the right url in takeitwithme it should work.It sounds like you done it right.Have you downloaded the gpx file to your computer and loaded it to your gps using poiloader?
This is the complete process I use for Google maps and Takeitwithme.
1. Go to Google maps http://maps.google.com/maps and click on sign in.Now create an account now.
2.Once signed in go to create new map on left. Fill in title and description. Under privacy settings mark public or unlisted. Then click done.
3.It will now show under my maps makes sure you have check mark in title. The map will always be there unless you delete it.
4.Now go to top and click on either search the map(single address) or find business(listing by name).I will use business search for my example.
5.Once you make the search you will see results on left
6.Click one marker on left you want. Popup will come up click save to my map. Next popup which map you want to save it to click on save. Next popup should show info click on save.
7.Now go back to search results on left and click on search again to get the listings again. You will have to repeat this each time you complete one.
8.Once all your locations are entered go to link to this page on right near top and click on it. The top highlighted paste link in email right click mouse and save it.
9.Now go to site http://www.takitwithme.com/ and paste in the url you copied where it says paste in your Google my maps url. Now click load my map.
10.You will have a choice to upload to garmin gps or download GPX. Select download GPX and save it in the correct subfolder. Run poiloader . If you want to convert GPX to CSV continue with step 11.
11.Go to http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/convert to convert the file to csv file. Under browse upload the gpx file you saved and under Plain text delimiter click on comma. Now click on convert top right. Once the data comes up right click and copy all the columns.
12.Now pull up your excel sheet and paste the info to it. You will have to switch longitude and latitude and delete column a. Now clean up what you don't need.
13.Now go to file on excel sheet at top and click save as then save as type find csv(comma delimited) and click save. You now have csv file.

You can download the gpx
You can download the gpx just like the csv file to your gps.When I stated to reduce the map down for Takeitwithme I can use my scroll button to reduce map size to see all the markers.If you have that option reduce the map and see what happens.
