Check this site out.

All it's missing is OS map section, but it's brilliant, you can also upload all routes from Garmin GPS too, so it can be a replacement for Garmin Connect too.

Here is a route I plotted, see, can view routes again now aswell!

The guy who runs the site said that he believe the elevation data on this is the most accurate of all sites which is good!

It's a brilliant site though and it's my new choice for planning routes and uploading routes, so much better.

Also as in this picture, this is my whole screen, all for the map which is great, I took the elevation profile off for even more space, brilliant.

It's even added all my ride history from my garmin into routes, so any routes I do with clubs that I've not got, I can download em and edit em and wack em on my GPS.

Thanks
Will.

Looks good, Will - but there's somebody on there pretending to be Dave Cook, uploading nasty looking routes around Hutton-le-Hole. So I'm not sure the site is secure...

Just testing it out. Seems to work ok. apart from no os.

Looks like it's based in the USA. Obviously they have no concerns about the legal issues that caused bikehike to pull their hosted rides feature.

Seems strange that UK law is more of a problem than US law as I always thought that the US was the worst place for 'compensationitis'.

Alternatively if someone falls off riding a route that you've posted there you'll be extradited to stand trial in the States

Edit: Surely you can find a more flattering picture than that Will

Am I missing something when I click on the links I get a homepage and just a large black screen where I suppose the map should be.

?????????????

They seem to be keen on browsers other than Internet Explorer - having said this I've no probs with IE 7 or 8.

I think they might be looking at getting that OS map on it too.

Firefox is brilliant, I'd love Firefox even more if when you installed it, it nuked IE8 from my Windows install. However, no matter what browser I use atm, some functions cause em to crash.
