ive used bikehike in the past, works well, and you have the option to save it in various formats that can be read by gps devices and other compatible kit/software

If you're not saving anything, yer common or garden Google maps are pretty good. Better with a log-in.

Google maps can be saved. They can also me annotated. Their downside is that they dont produced gradient profiles.

Oh yes. I meant saving routes as tracks for download to gps. I think that can be done, but it's much easier on one of the dedicated routing sites.

RidewithGPS is my favourite but as Ian says there's lots of them.

+1 for ride with gps. No annoying ads

Without me going and playing on all of them and maybe having to go through the registration, can anyone tell me which use OS Landranger maps? I know some of the other mapping is good, but I've grown up with Lanranger and find it easier to pick out the route that'll suit me.
Thanks.

bikehike - it uses Google and OS maps, which is why I prefer it.

Landranger.... try Bing mapping then.
