[Closed] Software for planning multi-day rides?

I've done something similar manually, using Notepad to manually edit the gpx file (it's just tagged up like xml). Not as much of a faff as you might think, I split a single gpx of the Cotswold Way into 4 separate days in about ten minutes.

Garmin Basecamp will let you split GPX files and gives you distance/ascent stats for each leg.

RideWithGPS supports this with the basic subscription (IIRC you can unsubscribe any time, so it's just a few dollars for a month's worth if you only need to do it once).

Thread hijack, but @Bez , while you're here, you were asking the other day about Wahoo maps and auto-rotating (or not). I spotted the option on my Elemnt the other day, looks like it may do what you want:

• Location & Maps
  • Manage Maps: Manually add, remove and update map packs on your ELEMNT Bolt. You will need a WiFi connection to download maps.
  • Live Track: Enables live tracking. Anyone with access to the link can see your location as you ride. Toggle Live Tracking on to enable those with access privileges to see your location. You will need to login or create a Wahoo Fitness cloud account to enable Live Tracking. If enabled, share the link provided with anyone you wish to see your location during your ride.
  • Auto Share Live Track Link- Automatically share your ride location with family and friends every time you start a ride. You can set up an Auto Share function on your ELEMNT Bolt so that your friends and family will know your location each time you ride. Simply toggle the preferred method of communication and authorize the use of Twitter or nominate which email addresses are to be notified and the ELEMNT Bolt will do the rest.
  • Always Rotate Map: By enabling this, the map will always rotate so you are always heading towards the top of the display.
  • Strava Live Segments: Configure Live Segments settings such as automatic page change, live segment notifications on other pages, and LED use while in Strava mode.

Garmin Basecamp will let you split GPX files and gives you distance/ascent stats for each leg.

Never used it before, always try to stay away from Garmin software as a rule! It does genuinely seem to allow you to plan multi-day tours, with specific dates and everything (albeit with an horrific GUI!) Will have a play about later.

hmmm, I did use RWGPS at one point for route planning so have loads of routes saved on there already. Think I stopped using it when they hobbled the free version. Might chuck a few quid at it & see what difference the subscription options make.

EDIT: a quick look at their website & it seems like it'll be almost ideal, in that they let you plan what they call "events" which can consist of multiple routes, showing each route by mileage/climbing. Not sure it gives you an overall total though, and it doesn't look like it's dynamic i.e. once you've split them, that's it. The ability to easily split/combine GPX files is cool though. Looks like I'd need "Premium" rather than "Basic" subscription though?

I've been using  http://www.gpxeditor.co.uk/ recently, which lets you plot multiple tracks onto one map. You can also save it as one file. You can change the colour of each so you can see which section is which. No elevation data though. Each track is selectable by tabs, which all display mileage and number of trackpoints for each.

ta, sounds good, although elevation data is pretty key for me. Could be a gap in the market!!

You can probably do something like that with viewranger

Can you? I use VR a lot & never found any features like that! It's good but pretty basic.
