Dunno about tonight but I've had a lot of problems over the last few weeks using it on my laptop. It does a weird thing where it seems to get stuck on a route, especially if unchecking the follow road box to enable access to a cycle path, it starts creating a direct line back to the start. The other issue Is that it won't reduce the number of trackpoints which is necessary for the etrex meaning I have to use Base Camp ... something I usuallly try to avoid. I've been exploring other mapping sites 'ride with gps' and 'gpsies' which seem okay but would rather a fully functional BikeHike.
Yeah it is behaving very strangely. Last night I'd put the points in, but instead of connecting them in a circular route like normal, it kind of drew a tree! The the elevation profiling would just not work at all.
I use Tyre toTravel exclusively to generate routes. I use BikeHike to check the ‘climbing’ m purely out of interest.
After doing the maths and physics, taking a longer route round a hill usually ends up more calorific expensive than simply riding the shorter distance up the hill and down the other side.
If one is building a Grimp route for AAA points, check with the AAA Sec’ which elevation determination system is preferred.
It is indeed to build a Grimp route, although initially for AAA for myself, I have now decided to not-get-involved with anything which may become an obsession haha. However, I am keen to put a BP route together and maybe even look at running it as an event.
I was going to ride it as a perm, then send the route to the AAA man for checking.
Will look at TyretoTravel to create the route then profile it when Bikehike decides to work.
