Click on the map to select start/endpoints, use “smooth route” to follow the road (at least that’s how I think it works after about 5min of playing) and then “draw profile” to get your elevation profile.
Nice. I prefer mapmyride.com. It allows you to plot your coarse with straight lines on a windy road. It automatically follows the road in street view. It has a ton of different training features also. sorry to HJ you thread. They also have mapmytri to add tri specific work outs.
That’s a pretty slick tool as well. I usually use the google maps pedometer, but am always curious to see if there’s a better tool out there.
I especially like the gradient bars that the elevation profile gives - a nice touch.
Nice! I’ve been looking for something like this. I’ve used mapmytri before, but the elevation feature never works for me for some reason, and I like how this follows the road.
Thanks for pointing it out!
Nice, but I personally use www.veloroutes.org for all my route mapping needs. You can use point-to-point or auto-routing (follow the road) or mix the two together for road + trail runs. You can save routes and get permalinks for them. Pretty much covers everything I need!
