Sites for planning new bicycle rides

I will think about the cue sheet (it's easy to add).
You can already upload a GPX track, using the open button in the toolbox (if this is what you mean). It doesn't work on your tablet?

Hi Manu. Thanks, yes I've just noticed the 'open gpx file' button - brilliant.

This is a screenshot of what the site looks like on my 7-inch android tablet using Opera - the results in Chrome are pretty much the same. I can't do a screenshot in landscape, but you can see the screen is pretty crowded - the position and size of the advert and the elevation chart and menu are all fixed so there's no way to get more map. Also the Google zoom slider and arrows don't display (although you can't see them in portrait view anyway) so you have to use multi-touch gestures to zoom and scroll - and these can also set waypoints where you don't want them.

(I know these aren't easy problems to fix).

Hi Manu

A correction. I found that I could close the altitude profile box and the box with options and produce route with an altitude profile - which is way more than I've been able to do with other sites. So thanks for that. Now all I have to do is work out a way to get it to the gps card.

Thats a good site.

If you want to download your route, the save button in the toolbox will download the route you created with the website to your computer in GPX format.

Hi Manu

What I meant was transfer it from the downloads folder to the card - short answer was use a file manager app to cut and paste it.

You could of course use a paper map, and plot a graph of the ascents and descents, using the contour lines and spot heights, but I guess that a skill mostly forgotten in this day and age of electronic mapping.

I used to do that 15 years ago...

We sure could, Amish boy.
