What software/websites do you Kawanauts use to map rides for saving/sharing? I received a link to RouteBuilder.org from a friend and I tried it out mapping a route for sharing. The main site starts with the US/Canadian map and lets you drill down to the starting point of your choice. Maneuvering the frame seems a little tedious, but the site provides the mileage for the route you select.

For what it's worth, here is a link to my first attempt at mapping a route I will hopefully be riding next Friday morning.

Hmmm never seen this route planner before. I currently use Microsoft Streets & Trips 07. Works great and is very inexpensive and you can do alot with it. You can get just the software version or pay alittle more and get the software and GPS unit with it.. great for laptops that way. More of car use than bike use.... but anyway I use MS 07 from home for all my bike route planning and sharing. the 08 version just came out 4 days ago. But very little change between 07 and 08 version...

Don't fret Brother Nico. You were seeing double for a little while, but our Ace Administrator put an end to my erroneous thread-cloning experiment. ;)
