Update - I've since found out how to successfully create a GPX file from Google Maps and download it to my Garmin Zumo. Works great and doesn't cost anything.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Can you share what you learned? Key settings in the Zumo for example? I’d like to use this too.

As an alternate to Google Maps, I use https://tripplanner.honda.com/#/ (Honda Trip Planner). Google Maps used to be incredible for exporting to GPS, but they've done some things like limiting that functionality as well as number of waypoints etc. Honda Trip Planner is very easy to use, allows you save routes, and can be exported to a variety of systems.
One note on using the Zumo's, you will need to turn off the auto recalculation function or the system will reroute you to shortest/fastest routes.

Since I can't delete a post I'll post a correction. I thought ITN Converter had quit converting Google Maps links, but I made a mistake. ITN Converter does a good job of converting Google driving directions but you must use the full link from the browser address bar, not the short URL from the share link option.
