A roadbooks software just for riders

Postby thomas_091 » Wed Jun 10, 2009 10:44 pm

Hello all !

I'm a french superblackbird rider; some of ou may remember i already shared with the report of my trip in Great Britain ( http://ixxra.co.uk/v-web/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15056) .

Well, I wanted since a long time to create a free online roadbook software specially dedicated to riders, I mean which would propose you to use some 'biking roads' when building your trip.

Thanks to google maps possibilities, and a lot of personal job, that's done :
Here is Motorbike-Roadbooks

How does that work :
1) You set up departure and arrival
2) The program proposes you the best biking roads which are along your trip. you choose the ones you want and can add some steps.
3) Program computes the itinerary, and you get either a printable version, or a GPS file.

I let you discover it by yourself :

-To directly start to use it : Motorbike Roadbooks

-For a more comfortable initiation, I think it is more wise to first read the tutorial.


And, of course, some of you may say that they know some interesting roads which are not referenced yet. A simple (and recommended!!) solution is to add it using the page Create a biking road : other riders will have the possibility to enjoy it.
North american riders (and people outside Europe in general) may notice that their regions are still desert...feel free to put the first stones here ...

Thank you for your attention, and have a nice ride

PS : If you like the project, don' t hesitate to talk about it around you, this will help to make the data base grow up

Bloody well done Thomas :clap: :clap: :clap: I'd be pleased to add a couple of roads to that in time mon ami and would also suggest that it's made 'sticky' so it doesn't get lost over time.

Ride carefully and keep up the good work with the site :notworthy) :notworthy)
Eliminate the impossible. Whatever remains, however improbable, must be the part you forgot to service.
