Mapping

[Fnaar]

You've probably all been using this for yonks, and have parties where you talk about it, and I'm not invited, and stuff , but I found this recently, and I prefer it to mapmyride, which I had been using:
http://www.bikehike.co.uk/

*whispers*oh sh1t fnarr has rumbled us all

I gave up on Mapmyride and deleted all my routes as it had become unusably slow.

This one is faster and I like the maps but the elevation data appears to be as badly wrong as usual and I've completely confused it's little elevation brain with a there and back route.

None of them are perfect.

 

[Crackle]

Actually. I think I've just crashed the whole site

 

[Crackle]

Ooooh it's back and a bit more playing has shown the elevation data to be OK and the whole thing t be very nice.

 

[Mr Phoebus]

Is it true that WVM and taxi drivers look at these routes and then go out hunting for cyclists?

I quite like www.bikely.com but it can't deal directly with garmin training centre files, so I might give bikehike a go.

I've only been messing about with it yesterday and today, and it seems to work ok, only thing it I can't find/it doesn't have markers for (e.g.) 5 miles, 10 miles and so on. Otherwise, much better that mapmywotsit, that had become slow for me too, and new softeware version doesn't seem to work in google chrome browser (which otherwise I've taken to using for most things). I like the OS detail too.

The OS map really swings it for me.
