Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Website to make a map for export to GPX

Anyone have any recommendations on a website to make a route/map that can be exported to a GPX file? I tried using Google Maps but I could only add destinations up to letter "J' and I'd like to have more points on my map.

Unless of course I'm making my map on Google Maps incorrectly, which is entirely possible.

Thank you.

I used this while planning my bikepacking trip. A bit of a learning curve if you want to manually plan a route but not that hard. Remember to save often though. I forgot what I did but the route was gone and I had to painstakingly do it again.

Ride with gps is usually my first choice, if I’m generating a route manually.

Garmin connect (connect.garmin.com) can get a route (point to point, out and back, loop and back) created automatically based on a given start point and total distance, which you can edit afterwards. It also uses the “heat map” of uploaded rides to get somewhat of a bike friendly route. I’m pretty sure ridewithgps also has the same features but I haven’t had much time with it.

in a pinch, and depending on what route I’m generating EasyRoute app gets the cake for ease of use.
