Where can I find cycling routes?
Like google maps, where you choose From A to B but where it gives you altitude as well.

    The dogs danglies.


    Easy to use, Garmin compatible. Routes available from other users and a lot better than Garmin connect for planing.

    It will also provide you a elevation profile of the route and total climbing.

    Strava routes are free, if you're in a big city try Strava Local.

    That does look nice. I am getting fed up with Ride With GPS's foibles - but it does basically work so it's good enough.

    After an initial quick go with plotaroute.com/routeplanner I can't see how to get to drag a route properly/normally. I get a route following roads between two places. I click On on Drag-Mode and get two markers, red and green, on the route with a bunch of white markers between. You can drag therefore change the route between the two red and green markers. But the markers are fairly close together. You drag the red or green marker along the route to try and get a larger draggable section of the course but the other marker follows so you're stuck with a small distance of drag-able route. Is there a way to get to drag/edit/change the whole route, or a much bigger section of it? There must be I guess.
