as per title. I can see there are a number of sites that let you create gpx routes and export them. But it's hard to tell which have access to OS maps to create off-road routes. Can you please recommend some to me.
- Must be free
- contain UK OS maps
- simple process to the create route and export

I use justgoride, it's great. Can switch between OS, Satellite and map. When you have parts on road it fills them in for you.

Bikehike as well, back country navigator app also has a course creator, but there's a one off fee.

I use view ranger, it doesn't have OS maps, but you can buy the areas you need, it does however have the open cycle maps which are very good.

Thanks, bikehike has had the most mentions so far so I'll go have a look.

You'll need to search around a bit. Whichever you choose, they only have a certain amount of free bandwidth per week and so are often used up by the time you want to make your track.

Good luck.

The advantage with bikehike is it's dead easy for course creating as that's pretty much all it does, an idiot could pretty much do it straight off. I thought justgoride looked very good, but would require a bit more time invested to get your head around as it's much more than just a simple course creator.

+1 for bikehike, but also bikeroutetoaster.com - more features, but can be more buggy
