Brief Take on Mapping Websites

MapMyRide.com seems to drastically reduce the number of trackpoints in a track.
bikely.com retains them all.

I can’t see how many trackpoints have been saved in MapMyRide, but zoom in on Gouda to see the difference.

  1. Did you give OSM (openstreetmap.org) a try?

    • Yes, I’ve had a look at that site as well as opencyclemap.org. They aren’t for uploading your own routes are they? For that purpose I prefer bikely.com.

      The street mapping in OSM is incomplete where I live, likewise, OCM does not show my local NCN routes yet. I even tried uploading UK-Garmin-Cycle.img to my gps but reverted to the commercial Garmin mapping.
