FYI Strava (premium or not) doesn't support importing routes. You have to build them on their website using their route builder.
EDIT: I just checked and apparently the ability to upload a GPX file and have it turned into a route is supported by Strava at the Beta "Labs" level. Here:

EDIT2: Tried it, it works!
Well here's what I've experimented with so far. I created a simple route on Strava and saved it I created a simple route on Ride with GPS and saved it too and then exported it and then imported it in to Strava. They were the same route only created with two different programs. You guys may have known this but I guess I didn't.....I just found out this morning testing out my routes that neither one on Strava will have a voice telling you to turn right or turn left. I was hoping that Strava had this ability then I could turn my screen off and just listen to The Voice without having to look at the map to save battery. I downloaded the Ride with GPS app on my phone and tried to use it to navigate my saved route but of course that was for premium Members Only. If I could pay for the app I would but I'm not going to do a monthly subscription. So it looks like if I want voice to talk to me I'm going to have to save my pre-planned route and then import it into one of the other GPS services that 01 Cat man do mentioned. I also tried map my ride and thought I might have found a gold mine there but when I created the same simple route and tried to save it on their website it continuously kept bringing up an error saying that it could not be saved click here for help. So I Google searched the problem and all I could find was constant complaints from people saying that map my ride was not a very good service and their customer service was terrible. So I decided to do away with that app and just focus on Strava and Ride with GPS and maybe another mapping service. I am not even sure if my tracks has the ability to have a GPS voice talk to you as well. But I did notice online this morning that Google is doing away with my tracks this year. I don't know if that means the app will be useless or if they simply mean they're not going to be updating or supporting it anymore but you can still download the current version and use it?
