[Closed] Creating GPX Files

i've always used BikeHike as it provides full OS map overlays.

Thanks very much Monkeyboy I'll give it a try

Another vote for Bikehike here, but I also use plotaroute too, as it has better snap-to-bridleway functionality, something that has never really worked on Bikehike.

Have a look on Just Go Ride.
You might well find it's already on there for a download.
If not, it's a pretty decent .gpx maker.

Not quite what you asked for, but http://www.ex-parrot.com/~pdw/cycle-routes/gpx//20100406-grizedale-marathon.gp x">here's a GPX for a route that's based closely on the one in the book, but takes in bits of the red too - replaces the dull fire road climb after Satterthwaite with single track, and adds a few extra bits.

Interested in this too.

I'd  like to create a route or copy a route and then upload onto my phone.

Will check the phone / route periodically throughout the ride to make sure I'm  On track

Up until now I have always printed o.s maps with a line drawing of the route on top.

I just want something to show me if I'm on track.

Heard  trailforks or view ranger are good apps?

I plot on Google earth and then use a gpsbabel script to convert the kml to gpx... But it's a bit technical. If I've just got my phone I use alpinequest, which is great features wise, but a bit clunky in the ui

Thanks for all the help guys.

Sefton, I use the UK Map app and it is fantastic. Much prefer this to using a Garmin.

Only problem is it's only on iphone not android. My mates and I have chipped in and bought a second hand iphone for £65. Works great

Thanks pdw that's really useful. I'll have a go at editing it to take a few miles out as I don't think we have enough time for the extra.
