how far is it? (Mapping web sites)
Hi all,
I might be imagining it but is there a web site that you can easily mark a route on a map and it calculates for distance?
I seem to remember reading about such a site but cant remember where...anyone know?
Cheers!

BikeRouteToaster probably does what you're wanting: http://bikeroutetoaster.com/
There's probably others too.

www.mapmyrun.com or www.mapmyride.com both do elevation and distance markers. You can make routes public or private. You can export/import to/from GPS via GPX format.
Noticed this while purging old topics, will move to technical.
My current preference is http://www.bikely.com/

Actually, having recently tried http://bikeroutetoaster.com/ I think I prefer that.

Here's another for the collection. The registration / login function is a bit basic but everything seems to work well and it seems to process imprted GPX files quickly (recently bikeroutetoaster seems to have struggled with that). I also like the OS map that you get if you "toggle map sizes"

Think I'm busy that weekend.
God creates Dinosaur. God destroys Dinosaur. God creates man. Man creates Dinosaur. Dinosaur destroys man, woman inherits the earth.
A permanent is an audax that you can ride on a day of your choice. Rather than control stamps you need to get other timed/dated proofs of passage. That should be simple with Danial Webb's out & back Cambrian (the first of the two which is being run as a calendar event on April 11), I guess it would be a bank ATM slip at the start / finish in Leominster and a cafe receipt at the halfway stop in Machynlleth
