Seems Bikehike . co . uk is no longer working 🙁

Are there any alternatives I can use to plot a route onto an OS map, then load that into my Garmin ?

Komoot, Ride with GPS? I use Komoot and it pretty good with my Wahoo.

I've been using Plot a Route for a while now. Works well, easy to send to devices if you need to, save routes, use routes created by others etc...

I'm a tight-arse but happily pay the subscription for OS map usage to Ordnance Service themselves.

Though for actually planning I use OS as a reference but do the plotting on Strava. The new snap-to-heatmap tool makes it so ridiculously quick and easy. Then it syncs automatically to my garmin account and on to the device without me doing anything.

Has anyone got a suggestion for one that actually uses an OS map to plot the route ?
I want the detail of the OS map, like Bikehike used to provide.

Walkhighlands lets you plot on 1:25K OS maps if you register (free)

Cheers, that Walkhighlands is not quite OS, shame. I like OS as it has the most information on it.

Bikehike is working again - I had emailed the admin and got a reply. (You may need to clear browser cache.)

Has satellite view side by side with OS map view, quite handy sometimes
