Pasting a /maps/dir/ link into the list-import box answered "could not extract list ID", which is the whole of the complaint: people share a drive far more often than they share a list, and it is the same gesture — somebody pressed Share in Google Maps. Which screen they were on is the URL's business, so the box takes both and the controller decides. No API key and no call to Google for the link itself: the stops are in the URL. Three shapes arrive — the path form with its data blob, the documented ?api=1&origin= form, and a short link that is one of those after a redirect — and a stop the link spells out in coordinates needs no geocoder at all. One that is only a name is geocoded, keeping the name from the link rather than the one the geocoder answers with: somebody who typed a nickname into Google should not find a street address on their trip. A name nobody can place is left out and counted rather than failing the import, because a route of six stops with five findable is five stops more than the traveller had. Coordinates are read as 1d/2d, longitude before latitude, which is the reverse of a place link and the one way to put Berlin in Somalia. A blob that does not line up with the stops is ignored entirely: half a link read confidently is worse than one read as names.
