Routeslip Problems?

[makbike]

I plotted a new route using Routeslip yesterday and saved it in my account. However, when I try to view it I get a message it is being loaded (this message appeared for over 20 minutes this morning), it never loads. I tried turning my computer off and I tried reloading the route. Both failed. Is anyone else experiencing similiar difficulties? Any suggestions?

I went over and looked and it loaded the map, but didn't overlay the route.

I generally use bikely (http://www.bikely.com/) or mapmyride (http://www.mapmyride.com/) as the original owner of routeslip doesn't spend much time there anymore.

I read somewhere (probably on bikeforums) that routeslip was basically abandoned by it's creator. ::shrug;:

My new route finder is my iPhone maps feature. I can put in the locations to/from and it shows the best driving route (car). But it also shows all the side streets, back ways, etc in great detail so I just follow those. Plus if I come to an intersection where I am unsure of the way to go, I just plug that in and see the info and go from there.

No elevations or anything but it has made my urban errand-running much easier as I have confidence that I can safely travel from Point A to Point B. And I have a fairly good estimation of the mileage.

Routeslip was acquired by Map My Fitness. It looks like many of the routes that I had entered automatically carried over to their Map My Ride. Some of my routes are still visible on Routeslip but many are gone...

Major Announcement
December 1st, 2007
Right to the Point
I’m excited to announce that RouteSlip.com has been acquired by MapMyFitness.

MapMyFitness is a collection of excellent fitness websites including MapMyRide, the leading website for creating and sharing cycling routes and tracking your training goals.

What Does this Mean?
The acquisition means great things to come for RouteSlip.com users.

Lots of new features and great user support.

The founders of MapMyFitness share my excitement for riding and my commitment to the cycling community. MapMyFitness has a staff of full-time developers and sales reps, and the management team is doing a great job building the infrastructure for a sustainable business. Moreover, I will become a member of the MapMyFitness technical steering committee, helping generate ideas and implement new features. I’ve received a lot of flattering emails from people about RouteSlip.com, and I’m looking forward to working with the MapMyFitness team to develop unique features for users.

Your user account and all of your routes will be saved.

We will automatically merge RouteSlip.com user accounts and routes to the MapMyRide platform, and traffic to RouteSlip.com will be re-directed to MapMyRide. I will keep you posted on the process, and I will let you know in advance if RouteSlip.com is going to be offline. RouteSlip.com will continue to operate as normal until the merger is complete. In the next several weeks, we will begin the migration of data from RouteSlip.com to MapMyFitness. Our goal is to complete the migration by the end of the year.

What’s Next?

First, I want to thank each of you for making RouteSlip.com successful. I’m really happy that I was able to create something that so many people have enjoyed. Second, let me know which features you like the most about RouteSlip.com, and what you’d like to see at MapMyRide. Please don’t hesitate to email me with any comments or questions. We’ve set up public forum in the MapMyFitness public forums to help answer any questions you may have. Finally, I hope you’re as excited as I am about the next steps. I look forward to creating and sharing routes with you at MapMyRide.

Thanks,

Ryan Huff
Founder, RouteSlip.com

Ahhhh... that makes sense. I was getting cranky that my rides that I had created were gone. I was wondering what was going on with them. Thanks for the info.
