Didn't Google Maps or Yahoo Maps or MapQuest have a route planning feature where you could draw your route and it would tell you how many miles it was?

Where is that?

Thanks!

try routeslip.com

Between Bikely.com and routeslip.com, I can often find the route I'm looking for already mapped out by someone.

is there one that gives you an elevation feature?

Both of the ones I mentioned.

Microsoft Virtual Maps allows you to route/draw lines and email it or save it (it under collection).
You can try site that design for routes like https://www.bikely.com/ ,
https://www.gmap-pedometer.com/ and other (Google it)

well fine then!

gmap-pedometer doesn't require logins.

That's the one!

Thanks!

www.toporoute.com is simple auto route but their elevation is lacking total climbing ft.

They also have limit on the length of a ride it can report.

My current process is usually enter it on toporoute... then export/import the GPX into bikely.

Another one I didn't see mentioned above, lets you save routes and even has basic training-log if that's your thing.

The "follow roads" option is pretty sweet, if a bit buggy.

GPS download as well, though no upload that I can see.

Edit: Apparently they've added it. Though you have to be running a windows machine w/ a .NET framework and download their upload tool. No love for us Mac users.

routeslip.com is the best one I have used, but it has too many glitches. I love the fact that it can generate a turn-by-turn route slip if the creator designated turns. I would gladly pay an annual fee if the site owner would make it into a business and hire some people or company to keep it working right.

yah I use it for rough sketching routes since it's auto mapped rather then every since point has to be drawn. If I like the route length, I'll make a bikely out of it.
