Thanks Rebby, fixed. @Pete: That's another place where Meander falls short. Unless you can fit your route into one screen, Meander sort of loses it's usefulness. Wow, I am having a really off week.

Read what it says to do AND look at the direction of the map in this link, and you tell me that you wouldn't get real mad when you drive 50 miles out of the way looking for the exit that's not there.

Check this. It’s not my full route, but the part where google maps gets confused.

Just grab the route line and move it or add points manually by typing in intermediate stops. Seems much easier to me... especially for the cost. You can set your route in Google Maps.

I guess it has trouble with routes that require scrolling in google maps? Most that don't are easy to just remember, and those that do are rarely worthwhile when zoomed out far enough to avoid the scrolling... The website doesn't seem to mention being able to combine maps if you make them in sections, so I guess this is limited to just what you can cram on one screen?
