No bikeroutetoaster maps with Win 7, either.

I moved over to ridewithgps.com a long time ago.

Here's an example route. Pull down the Map list, checkmark Terrain, then zoom all the way in.

For planning routes, it has some nice features.
Drawing routes:
I usually pull down the Map list and checkmark Terrain. It shows 40 foot contour lines when zoomed in.

Undo and Redo to try alternate routes.

Hover over the red elevation graph to see the grade at that spot. And it keeps an updated mileage and elevation total as you extend the route.

Drag to select a section of the elevation graph, it zooms in the map, and see the Metrics tab on the right for total elevation, average grade, and distance of that selection.

Use the orange Street View marker to check the road conditions. Or use Satellite view.

Save the route with a name, and mark it either public or private. You'll have a list of your created routes on the Routes page when you are logged in.

NEW--I switch the map pulldown to OSM Cycle maps if I want to look for bike infrastructure, like bike paths or state bike routes. But I like the normal google map style for most uses.

Editing routes:
Select Edit for an existing ride. Drag or delete control points to edit the middle of a finished route. Or Undo from the end of the ride. Then replace the same saved route, or save as a new route.

To reroute the middle of a completed route, go to Edit mode, then select "Add or Remove Control Points" on the right side. Click and delete any white control point circles in the section to be moved, then drag the route over to a different road.

Other uses:

Export routes to a Garmin.

Edit cue entries, and print the cue sheet.

One-step create a route map image or elevation graph to post to a blog.

Use the Find function to locate other rides near a starting point.

Save your GPS recordings in a list and optionally name each ride.

EDIT -- Here's an example of selecting a climb by dragging the red elevation graph, and clicking the Metrics tab on the right.
