http://veloroutes.orgis a site like bikely/routeslip but has other

as you click your route. another difference is that no signup is
required, you can just save your route and get a URL to get back to
it.

your routes can also be viewed in Google Earth using the KML-output
feature, and GPS-techies can download GPX versions of their routes
that can be uploaded to their devices.

the site's not perfect but it's pretty new on the bike-mapping scene,
so stay tuned for new features, etc.

You'll need to fix the inclinometer. It tops out at 9%, and plotting
some local hills around here (Pittsburgh), that's not too useful. :-)

indeed, the % grade measurement isn't perfect. it's more of an
estimate than an actual value, as there is no data-source for this
info. i top it out at 9% since if it goes past that it'll often jump
to 20% or 30% for hills that are only 12-15%....

nonetheless, i do plan on making it perfect one day, thanks for the
feedback!
