I wanted to plot local off-road routes on my PC export to my phone in .gpx format and build some variation into my training regime- end up doing the same routes over and over again.... Basically I need the ability to plot routes either using Google maps or open source similar What web based tools do people use to do this?

No money for a Garmin right now so my phone is the only option.

Bikehike is my go to app for plotting routes.

I use mapmyride to make routes and then export them to google drive/ dropbox

On the phone have backcountry navigator installed and can import the GPX from google drive. Or you can upload the GPX to strava as a route and then follow it using strava.

I paid for the full version of backcountry navigator as you can download OS map tiles for bing - for £9.99 its easily the cheapest way of getting OS mapping on your phone.

Viking GPS is the dedicated software not-in-a-browser option.

Bike Hike is great, once uploaded to ViewRanger you can edit further, move/add/delete waypoints
