Routeslip? Anyone else having trouble connecting?

I can't seem to connect to www.routeslip.com today. Anyone else having trouble?

Yes. It has been like that since last night. I hope they are up and running soon because I need to get to my routes.

There are also some annoying glitches that don't go away. For example, two of my routes show as zero elevation. If I try to edit the routes to see if it will correct itself, the edit won't save. I don't feel like redoing the work just to get the elevation.

I will probably buy that Garmin Edge 305 soon, and maybe I won't need routeslip as much.

I've used RouteSlip a lot. Unfortunately, RouteSlip has been basically abandoned by its creator. It has frequent problems that last for days. Bikely is much more stable. Too bad RouteSlip doesn't offer the option to output a route in gpx format that could then be imported into Bikely.

I'm really enjoying mapmyride.com better than routeslip. Haven't tried Bikely. Mapmyride has a calorie calculator, too.

It seems to be working now. But I would print out and go to another site because it's true. It's mostly abandoned.

Okay, I am BEYOND frustrated now!!! First, I wasted about 2 hours mapping my route on routeslip. Although I mapped the entire route, it only saved about 1/2 of it. GRRRRR . . . And, now I can't even access it to edit or anything.

So, then on this thread's recommendation, I tried "mapmyride." Even WORSE!!! First of all, it took me 4+ hours to “map my ride.” This program is beyond slow!!! Then, when I went to check the elevation (which, I thought would be similar to routeslip’s “climbing” totals) it showed something like 100 feet. Give me a break! The route had more like 5,000 feet (and, no, I’m not exaggerating). I don’t even know if I want to try bikely at this point. Can anyone tell me whether it is worth it? Will it give me climbing totals? Can I map a 40-mile route in less than 2 hours? Help! Anyone! Thanks.
