On your Nuvi it should end up as a "trip" in the Trip Planner. Are you saying that this is what was working but isn't any longer? Also are you using the classic version of Google Maps or the "new and improved" question version?

If you notice the footnote 1 at bottom of page.Routes can not be transferred. MapQuest works well http://www.mapquest.com/ .

How do I use Google maps with my Garmin device?

Garmin has partnered with Google to allow the transfer of addresses and POIs (Points of Interest)1 from Google Maps to the Garmin device.2

For the transfer you will need

A computer with an Internet connection
The classic version of Google Maps3
A compatible Garmin Product
A data transfer USB cable
Garmin Communicator Plugin
To transfer a point from Google Maps to your Garmin device

Plug your Garmin device into the computer via the USB
Search Google Maps for the location you wish to send to your Garmin device
Click on the More option under the address in the left pane
Click Send
Select GPS under the Send To: menu
Select Garmin under the Brand drop down menu
Change or enter any wanted information in the Name, Phone Number, or Notes fields
Information in the phone number and notes fields may not display on all devices
Click Send
Garmin Communicator Plugin will search for updates to the Communicator as well as your Garmin device
Click USB
Click the Box next to the Garmin device plugged in
Click Send to GPS
The address you searched for will now be available in the Favorites or Saved list of your Garmin device.
