How to make a map/route on Google Earth?
I've searched and scoured the internet, but I can't seem to find how people make those cool route maps of their tours. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Every day a winding road
Do you mean a route (where you want to go) or a track (where you have been)? If you mean a track then it is easy if you have a GPS. You can transfer the track recorded by the GPS to Google Earth

Ahh bummer, actually in google maps it says the route is too long to be computed. Back to square 1.

I am technologically challenged and used www.mapmyride.com with great success. Try it, I think you'll find it as simple as it is functional. You get those cool elevation change graphics and anything you could want.

Must say i find bikeroutetoaster a lot more simple to use than mapmyride with the same features. Bikeroutetoaster has also less commercial pop-ups and crap pluss they dont want your money as far i can see, yes..i know mapmyride has free options.
Bikeroutetoaster also have important updates not long ago.
