Yes, Google are a bunch of F*cktards and they are twice as evil as Apple, or that certain governing body controlling the largest population in the world. That said... it's not that you can't create KML output anymore, you just can't do it without big brother watching you and logging all your activity. If you're dumb enough to use Chrome or a Google account, you're already having the vast majority of your web use tracked anyway.

OK, so just go log into your stupid Google account, go to maps, create a new map, save it to your my places (which should be renamed to places google tracks you) then select the blue KML output file button and BOOM...get your KML file. Open it in Google Earth and extract just the path. Rename and upload to your ftp as usual.
