    Thumbs up ridewithgps.com - a great mapping tool (no GPS required)

    Check out Ride with GPS -- this looks to be an excellent ride mapping / ride logging tool.

    Wow, it's probably the prettiest and fastest site of those I've looked at. Has some nice interactive features and is well laid out. May have to play with it.

    Thumbs up

    Oh. wow. It builds a wicked cool cue sheet also. I can't believe how fast and easy it is. Score, jo! Did you tell Gunther?

    I haven't compared actual real live measured stats, but even the elevation gain/loss looks pretty close.

    I can't quite figure out how to generate a link to a specific route, but it's probably just the operator.

    The admin over at SportTracks is even asking if anyone is using it. Post and maybe we'll see an interface.

    I think I'm going to switch allegiance to this site.

    Thanks again, jo.

    I have problem of using this site with Firefox and Opera: Cannot "jump" to the city that I just enter. But don't have this problem with IE.

    In FAQ, it said that they tested the site with Firefox & Opera but .... don't know what's wrong. I'm sure that I have Flash player ...

    I generally use Firefox 3.5 and jumping to a location works fine if I hit enter when I'm in the field, or if I click on the button. I have not tried opera recently though. If you are just hitting enter, try clicking on the button, that might work. If it still doesn't work, please let me know what operating system you are using and the exact browser version (Help -> About on Windows, Firefox -> About Firefox on a Mac).

    I'm one of three guys behind the site and noticed some traffic coming in from this forum. Couldn't be happier that the site is being well received. We love working on it and it is getting better very rapidly. If you run into some limitations and wish it could do something it currently doesn't, just let us know through the Feedback button up top - we take suggestions very seriously and your feedback determines what features we implement first.

    Thanks!

    Wow!!! This mapping site is fantastic! Clearly, the best and easiest that I've ever used. If this is just the "beta" version, I can't wait to see the full-blown version. It gets a HUGE thumbs up from me!

    Well I must be an idiot because I can't figure out how to even get it to start in Arlington VA instead of the Pacific NW, which is where it defaulted to.

    But then I find bikely and mapmyride to be infuriating, so maybe I'm map-drawing-impaired.

    Update. And then the browser crashed, and then when I tried to Start Over it put a new starting point in the middle of whatever body of water is between Greenland and Newfoundland.

    WTF?

    Update 2: okay, now I'm able to map my local after-work training route -- except for the parts that are on a bike trail. I have the same problems with bikely and map my ride. How do you include bike trails when they're based on google maps, which don't include them?

    It does work much better than bikely and mapmyride, though. Unfortunately without including bike trails, none of these sites helps me.
