I feel your frustration!
I was devoted to RouteSlip until it was basically abandoned by its developer. I tried MapMyRide but didn't like the interface and the elevation/climbing totals didn't jive with anything else. So, I've pretty much accepted Bikely into my life.
I can probably map a 40 mile route in about 30 minutes. Your mileage may vary.

I use map my ride basically because i can create garmin courses with it. i can look up elevation data there. for example, i made one for a ride yesterday, imported it into garmin training center, realized that one hill would be over 20% and I decided to do the loop in reverse instead. a bit of a pain sometimes for elevation data but i don't find it to be too slow usually.

Thanks for the kind responses. I apologize for my rant. Not tonight, but I may give bikely a go one of these days . . .

Some puters just don't like those sites. I generally can't use any of them on my laptop. Don't know why.....

Routeslip - toast?
Yikes - I logged into routeslip, clicked on my routes - only to find someone else's routes in Tennessee, and I've never even been in TN! Some of my routes are available by looking at the Deleware routes, but most are missing. Worse, I wanted to edit some routes I made in Michigan, and not only can I not find them, Michigan does not exist anymore on Routeslip. There were probably hundreds of routes all over the state last month. THen I tried to get to the discussion board, and now it gets really weird - clicking on the discussion board takes you to a login page for Google Groups?
Despite its flaws, I really liked routeslip cause you could print out a nice cue sheet with mileage and get the elevation as well. I have not been able to figure out how to do this on Bikely....
Oh this is sooooo frustrating.

Hmmm. Wonder if you are getting my TN routes?
On bikely, from your page with the map, look on the top right hand side and you'll see the word "Show". Click it and you'll get a drop-down and the last choice is "Cue Sheet".

Oh now Routeslip is really weird - I tried logging in again, and click on "my routes" and now it's giving me routes in both Indiana, and Arizona. Two more states I've never even been to. And Michigan doesn't seem to exist anymore. Sigh.
At Bikely - I have "show" at top left corner of the screen, but the only options there to show are "Whole Route" and "Elevation". I don't get an option to show the cue sheet.... Possibly cause I didn't make one? How do you make a cue using Bikely? I know I could read all the help screens but I'm a firm believer that if a program is any good, it doesn't NEED to have all those help screens.
