Also take a look at www.bikely.com. I've tried it just once but it seems to work pretty well.

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:


URL: http://www.routeslip.com/
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.

URL: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/
My Routes: Here is one: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=559573
Pros: Simple to create routes
Cons: Cannot create a list of my routes, slow elevation calculator, limited functionality, anyone can edit routes.

My Routes: Here is a link to a familiar route: http://www.favoriterun.com/94147. You can search all my routes under my username: mbenno.
Pros: decent interface, good undo functionality, can add routes together saving time.
Cons: running specific, has trouble with long routes.
