Hello again,I've built a GeoRSS feed for google indexing that might work for this.
It's pretty simple and only give's a route's start point, but you can take a look here: http://runthere.com/allroutes.php?url&start=0&end=1000 The GET parameters refer to the route index, since I found out that the big G could only process so many URLs per sitemap. Let me know if this works.
