Bike Route Toaster down again?

Post by Tizme »

Not been on the site for a few months as I've not been able to ride following surgery, but went on to work out a route and it would not let me do anything (still able to pull up old routes). I'm on Windows 10 and not sure if I've been on the site since upgrading. I know most of my routes backwards, so I tend to only go on to look for areas I haven't been before, mark the route and then put it in the Garmin to try out. Anyone else having problems? I know a while back it wasn't working at all, has it died completely?

I've been trying on and off for a few months, no luck. Tried contacting them via the site, no reply. A real shame, it was a good site.

I can get on to the site, but unable to mark any routes. Have to look for a new site, any recommendations?

If you try to add points it tries then says failed to add new point.

Here's two

Bikehike:-
http://www.bikehike.co.uk

Xpediton:
http://www.satmap-xpedition.com/
to plot routes on this you have to pay £20pa (but if you've just bought a SatMap you get a year free)
xpedition split screen
xpedition split screen

Example above is in split screen mode OS/Aerial views of same route
You can of course just have one screen of same route, but always you can choose options of aerial, OS map etc
After plotting route you can download to your PC as a gpx file - but not directly to a Garmin
