Route Mapping Websites

I’ve been a fan of Bikely for a long time, but it seems to be getting progressively slower and therefore increasingly t..e..d..i..o..u..s  to use. A pity because it does all the right things (on the whole). I have a new favourite which is http://ridewithgps.com/  It’s fast and so far I’ve found no annoyances other than it prepares a ‘cue’ or route sheet for you; frankly, I’d rather write my own. I’ve not looked too hard yet to see if you can amend it, but it looks unlikely. Nevertheless, definitely worth a try.

Something I particularly like about it is the way you can move the cursor along the route and see where you are on the gradient chart below.
