E-Mailing the URL is probably the fastest.
I can think of a couple of other ways, but every single one is either not as fast or not as simple as e-mail.
Yeah, a disappointing answer, I know.

If you are using the Messages beta on your Mac, you can drag the link to a message to yourself and it will come up on your phone as an iMessage.
I think I read something about a feature in mountain lion where when you view a page in safari, you can press a "cloud" button and that same website is beamed to your iphone.
If so they might incorporate that into a future update of Safari for PC.
But yeah email is probably the best way for right now.

Same with me, after trying other things it's just the simplest way to do it.
What I want to do is get the google map driving directions from my mac to my iphone. sending the URL via email to my iphone works just fine. The issue is that the google maps app on the iphone apparently can't handle long routes as it gives the message that the driving directions aren't available.
I tried a shorter route which opens with a choice of driving directions between the two points, just like it would have done had I entered those two places on my iphone app. It does not give me the route that I tweaked google maps into drawing for me. Not sure what the point of sending the google map driving directions to the phone is if they don't keep the same routing.

The cloud actually works pretty well. No need to e-mail between ML, iPhone and iPad. E-mail is a more universal approach though

"Push pages, maps and more to your iPhone and iPad"
and here's another -> http://www.myphonedesktop.com/
This one is the oldest of the two but very handy.

You could try using Google Chrome on both your PC and your iPhone. You'll be able to see the tabs you have open on your desktop on your phone, as long as your signed into your Google account on both.
So the appropriate question is, does anyone customize a google map route that they can then view on their iphone? Hopefully that better explains the solution I'm looking for. I can transfer the URL of the route to the phone, no problem, its just not customized any more. Thanks to all for your suggestions so far.
