Google Maps Problem
 
I use to make turn by turn routes by ploting a route and then printing it. It gave cumulative totals between waypoints so you could follow it with an odometer. Now it only gives total distance and each way point distance from the bext waypoint. How can I make cue sheet routes again?

I use Strava or Map my ride, they give much more detail about the route you map out then google does, and its very easy to print out cue sheets from them.

Ride With GPS is my choice among the many websites that feature cycling routes. It's very easy to layout routes, cue sheets are automatically generated, the elevation profile is displayed along the bottom of the page as you lay out the route. You can put together rides that first follow roads or trials, and then switch to following point by point where there are no roads and trails and then switch back to following roads. You can lay out routes switching between map, topo map, satellite and street views. Very easy to edit routes you save. Routes can be exported as TCX or GPX files for use with Garmin Edge bike gps. You can also upload rides from Garmins. All this is with a free account.

I hope this is the worst problem you encounter this week. The simple solution is to print your map or cue sheet as you always did, then use a graphite/wood printer to add the cumulative mileage next to the mile by mile distance.

I got old google maps back and it works fine. No wood/graphite calculator needed.
