Important Notes on Google Maps
For this to work you can only use the Standard post editor, if you use the Enhanced editor your map will fail to display. To check your current settings go here:

and look for the "Miscellaneous Options -> Message Editor Interface" section.
If you create and post a route this should be saved into your Google account. It is possible to create routes that are not saved to an account however it seems that Google periodically purges these from their site.
