Route Planning ???
A while back someone posted a route planning website that allowed you to click a box to follow the road. It seemed to follow curves better than g-map. Can anyone help me out?

Topo route. Cypress listed it a while back and made me aware of it. It has a option to "make" the route follow the roads. Works well, but if you have a really long route then that option can take a lot of time to re-calculate every time you add a point.

Another nifty map tool is https://mapper.acme.com. Although it won't measure custom cycling routes or anything, it's neat to fool around with. Plus it has USGS topo maps built right in, and NEXRAD weather radar. See the elevation and weather on your next ride!

FYI
Be sure to use the appropriate web browser. Toporoute works best with Internet Explorer ... it has much greater difficulty following the road using Firefox.

(For example, in an earlier post I said the topographical representation of my ride from Brooklyn to Harlem every day is like a graphing of the brain activity of our Presidents. The 200 foot climb that is the Brooklyn Bridge however makes this an unlikely comparison.)

It's really for running, but hell, I don't see why you can't bike the routes too
