Here's another. The total elevation only show-up when you create it. So,
you need to write it down.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Online Route Mapping Applications

Many of you may be aware of some of these online route mapping applications,
mostly based on GoogleMaps API. I have done some research on a couple but I
am still looking for the perfect application.

I thought I would share my research with the programs I have used and see
what others have used. Maybe I can find that perfect fit.

At the very least some of you may become aware of some new decent rides.

Here are the applications I have worked with:

My Routes: Here is a link to a familiar route:

http://www.routeslip.com/routes/20856. You can search all my routes under my
username: mbenno.

Pros: Good at plotting longer routes. Shows elevation gain, has a nice
training log.

Cons: Really bad undo features, Difficult to use UI, Can't edit training
events. Difficult to start maps in locations other than your home city.
