Determine Elevation Profile on Internet???

[TsPoet]

ok - either I'm missing something or it doesn't like my system either: I'm trying to create a route of my daily commute and when I click on create route all I get is a blue box??????


I'm really hoping this works coz I've got routes I really REALLy want to create for my century rides................

Corsair,
I had the same problem, I determined it didn't like my city. Although I'd have a hard time thinking it doesn't know Albuquerque . Anyway, I put in an alternative zip code and it started working for me. It needs a valid zip to find the initial map to start you on, I think.

nope - V had the answer, apparently Netscape is a Mozilla browser and Routeslip doesn't like Mozilla.


and Toporoute doesn't show the bike paths so I can't map a route using that one either.

To see a route SK sent me, I just switched browsers and used IE.

Okay, so thinking about reading comprehension here. Can you imagine someone who didn't have the background knowledge trying to make sense out of my first sentence?

I'd like to know if anyone is mapping routes on any of the internet tools and getting climbing totals comparable to the results from their Polar, Ciclosport, Vetta, Garmin, whatever.

So far, everything I've experienced and read is that the totals are much higher than actual, that the altimeters on the cyclocomputers are more accurate.

Sadie - I'd be really curious about this also. Virtually my entire focus for training rides is elevation & climbing, so it is important. Unfortunately all I can contribute is speculation since I don't have an altimeter.
