Any decent sites for drawing and sharing maps?

tomstickland

Bikely seems to be getting slower and slower so I'm on the look out for another site where I can draw route maps, look at the elevation plot and share the maps.

Bing maps has the 1:50,000 OS maps which is useful, but no elevation plot.
Google map doesn't have elevation plots.

Is there anything similar to Bikely that's any good?

I use www.mapmyride.com to map routes and then export them to my phone.

It will show you elevation on a graph and also do a flyby using a google earth which is quite cool.

google earth does elevation also, and i think you can share the route via google maps

Endomondo does all that and more - it's a combination of Website and Smart Phone App - http://www.endomondo.com/home

Thanks for that. Great site!

Where's the Path is very good, and has an excellent profile function. I plot my rides with a small GPS logger and use Where's the Path to view them.

Endomondo is pretty awesome. I think the one thing missing is overlay of OS maps, which would make it pretty much bang on perfect.

I also use bikehike (which does have OS maps), although I believe you no longer have the option to share routes on there.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm not using a phone or any GPS stuff. I want to draw my maps from memory.

Bikely seems to have stopped working most of the time now.

I used to use this, but its not so good for off road stufff:

Or this one sometimes for OS stuff:

How do you find the elevation of a route on Endomondo?

I've been using Map My Ride, which I like because of the the number of shared routes from other members.

And can you get drawn routes to follow the roads, like Google Maps directions? It's fairly annoying having to try to trace every road.

For pure stats (and ease of drawing) I find bikeroutetoaster.com really useful. I dont have a GPS but this has maps with cycle routes and paths on which makes it a lot easier to draw..

Elevation data and graphs are also really useful and dead easy to use..

I use http://www.mapmyride.com too. It's quite useful. It has workout stats, elevation and all sorts. It also tracks along roads etc. Worth a try.
