MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Looking at planning some routes for a few bivvy trips and wondered what your all using these days? I did use the OS Maps on the PC a few years ago but I'm guessing things have advanced some what.
Is there also a way of adjusting previous GPX files to create new routes?
I'm wanting to create some routes based on the [url= http://www.highlandtrail.net/ ]highland trail route[/url]. As its essentially 3 big loops and a out and back start so in theory it should be easy enough to do but how so?
I use memory map, but thats just because I've got it.
[url= http://www.bikehike.co.uk/mapview.php ]bikehike[/url] lets you create and view gpx files online for free. OS usage is limited to a daily quota, globally. You can edit a route whilst creating it, not sure if you can edit an uploaded gpx.
There are loads of software and websites that can do this sort of stuff.
I have used [url= http://www.gpsies.com/?language=en#10_53.41670227050781_-2.3000030517578125_mapQuest ]GPSies[/url] to do this sort of stuff. I have also used this open source program [url= http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpxeditor/ ]GPX editor.[/url]
A GPX file can be opened with a text editor and you can change things directly if you know the co-ordinates of the new route. Be a bit tedious for a lot of changes.
