I never tried to parse the HTML myself before, and (assuming a change is the cause of the problem) don't have a copy of the "old" html to compare against, so no, I didn't look at the HTML other than to glance at it and make sure it was a valid Google Maps file.

As far as the errors I'm getting, they are consistently the same no matter what route I try to parse, so I assumed that you would get the exact same error if you tried to parse a route of your own, and would have everything there to do the debugging with. So I skipped the step of copying the errors into the message.

If you're telling me that you created a fresh new route from Google Maps, parsed it, and did NOT get any errors, then that means it's not a change to their HTML and it's something else odd. So, anyway, here are the errors I'm getting:
