MapMyrun.com- Training tool

I add new routes here on my BT Blog.  Doesn't everybody?   I don't make my routes public because I don't want just anybody finding out where I live but it's great to calculate distance and great for the routes I do often. 

 Used to use map my run... But this is better!!! 

I vote for MapMySwim:

Go to your training blog and click on the globe icon next to the mini-calendar to go to your Route Manager:    

Here's the basic route creation page.

Sure. When you save a route you can set it as Private or not. And on the left side of the Route Manager page are two search functions, one for your routes and one for public routes.

I can answer this for me --  I prefer 2 things about mapmyxxx -- the "follow the roads" feature and the elevation smoothing.  FWIW, I find the extreme elevation reports on the BT route tracker to be kind of annoying -- I've been riding straight up a mountain 3000 feet every weekend, and a BT friend rides a slightly rolling neighborhood course with no more than a 200-foot incline ever, but the way BT adds up the overall elevation change, my friend looks like he is king of the mountains and gets the props.    I do think mapmyxxx underestimates, but I prefer that to the overestimation.  Hope that helps in your planning/thinking!
