Does anyone have trouble working with google maps to make a bike route. I feel like it is so sensitive.

I got almost done with mapping a ride then the purple route line goes crazy. I tried the undo button but sometimes it makes so many squiggles that I just cant seem to complete a route.

Any tips working with this.

Thanks ~ JoAnn

I just use mapmyride or ridewithgps. So much easier to use and upload.

Google maps isn't so great for bike routes IMO. RidewithGPS is infinitely better and has more accurate elevation than mapmyride.

We use toporoute.com also - much easier to use than Google. I don't think they have all the bugs worked out just yet with the bike routes.

Thank you!!!... I will try all the different options from your replies. I am glad to hear it wasn't just me finding Google Maps hard to work with.
