    I normally use bike hike to plan routes but it seems to have gone.

    I tried using the getamap from OS but it doesn’t show me total elevation gain. I need the total gain really to judge a route so does anyone know of any alternatives that show this?

    Thanks.

    bike hike is my prefered one too (although it often seems to disappear towards the end of the month, presumably due to hosting and bandwidth limits)

    for an alternative i use bikeroutetoaster.com

    Have a look at http://wtp2.appspot.com/wheresthepath.htm

    You can plan routes and upload to gps, it has a handy twin map screen so you can have OS/satalite at the same time 😉

    EDIT: beat me to it lol

    I use http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk too

    It’s free to register and once logged in you have full access to 1:25k mapping and route planning. It will display the profile of your routes and also keeps a running total of elevation gain/loss.

    You can also upload your own gpx files to display.

    I have joined http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk now. Looks good, simple to use and all the information i need. Wheresthepath dosn’t show any elivation information but thanks for the sugestion.

    Not looked at just go ride yet.

    How do you get total elevation (amount of climbing / descending) out of wheres the path?

    ok, it shows an elivation plot but no indication of total gain. I find the elevaion plots don’t give me any information i can’t get from glancing at the map but total gain i find really usefull in planning.

    Can you actually *edit* uploaded tracks with wheresthepath? I’m clicking on that 4 arrow icon thingy but nothing’s happening. Is this yet another site that only allows editing of routes rather than tracks?

    a track is a log of your gps position at a seires of different times. It is historical data and i didn’t think it could be modified. If you think about it there are no way points to edit.

    a track is just a collection of trackpoints which can be manipulated just like waypoints (if the software allows). Routes can be a problem as they generally support fewer data points that tracks.
