Gmap route planner

[Andy S]

Anyone tried the Gmap site mentioned in Cycling Weekly? It's great for planning / checking out routes. Real easy to use.

This is the web address, have a go - it's great fun .... even if you don't do the ride!

Google Maps is an incredible service (and free!!). I have taken the data from my GPS I carry on my bike (Garmin Forerunner) and overlayed the route we did on Saturday (the 35mile short route) onto its map control (via some javascripting) and this is what you can get...

I can do this for all of the different club run rides I have done - if anyone is interested.
