[Site] Google Maps
If you get the GMapToGPX bookmarklet, you can take any Google Maps route you’ve made (in some parts of the world, you can get cycling directions), and export it as a GPX Route file. However, when I tried using a file created this way on my GPS device, the file I made showed up as several separate courses (I think because the route had several destinations in it, which I had to do so I could make a round trip). The elevation feature on my device also didn’t work (it showed a totally flat profile). Note: Site visitor Nick Payne emailed me to say that you can export from Google Maps to KML, then use site gpsvisualizer.com to convert to GPX; if you do this, under “Advanced Options” you need to change “Merge all tracks” to “Yes” and it will fix the problem where it makes several courses. I haven’t tried this.
