I have a program called Terrain Navigator http://www.maptech.com/land/index.cfm but this was way before DeLorme came out with topos. An older program, expensive at the time but works well for me.

Sometimes I see posts of bike routes that give elevation and distance in a graph type format which maptech does but I was wondering which ones you guys use.

thanks!

It doesall that and then I either screenshot it for a direct image or link it. ;)

I use mapmyride, but find the elevations to be quite suspect. It makes my ride look much hillier than it really is.

I have found bikely elevations to be the most accurate

What the hell is, "elevation?"

What the hell is, "elevation?"

LOL, Take a visit to San Francisco and you will learn all about it within a mile or two

In your neck of the woods, elevation is a speedbump in a parking lot ;)

What the hell is, "elevation?"

Elevation is 800 Ft drop to the ocean from house

for elevations it would appear that bridges are not taken into account. I tried to map out a route over a bridge on mapmyride and it brought me to -12 feet. all my routes look like there are full of mountains, until you see the range :( new jersey is flat most of my routes range from 15 ft to 140 if i am lucky

Actually, the new term is, "Speed Table" and to warn you of the upcoming inconvenience, there are signs that warn: "Traffic Calming Ahead." Shhhesh. Political correctness has made it to asphalt! Don't you dare call that thing a "Bump!"

Thanks for this recommendation I had not seen this site before. In theory the elevation profiles should be the same from mapmyride to Bikely because they are using the same data from Google. However, I like Bikely's presentation better, especially the total distance climbed and descended info.
