You can view leg waypoints and paths in Google Earth, if you have it installed (and if not, you should think about it; it's really good). The waypoint data in the links below will be copied to a temporary folder in your Google Earth; you can copy or move individual waypoints, or whole tracks, from there to your permanent "My Places" folder, if you like. Simply click on one of the "View this leg in Google Earth" links below; if Google Earth doesn't open, check your configuration.
