google maps and bike tool
« on: 26 August, 2012, 03:52:35 pm »
DIY section on AUK site alludes that Google maps set to walking is ok. What about Google maps set to cycling?

Sorry if this has been discussed already but I am feeling a bit  ???

Cheers, Doo  ;D
I dunno why anybody's doing this!

The best thing to do is ask your regional organiser what they use to check the distances & just use the same  :thumbsup:

I've always used google maps walking and had no trouble.

The cycling version is a bit naff and uses some connections that really only suit mountain bikes or horses, so I give it a miss....  It is a new thing, so maybe they'll improve it over time :)
I’ve decided I’m not old. I’m 25 .....plus shipping and handling.
