There may be some further minor updates as I try to simplify the route. You can probably create your own Google Earth file from this but if you cant let me know and I will e-mail a copy. It is not all that useful, in my opinion.

The most useful feature of Google Earth is that it provides an occasional glimpse of the types of surfaces we will be cycling over. However, its road numbering is not as comprehensive as the viamichelin sites; which also have a rather quirky cycling and walking route planning feature.
ReplyDeleteTest to see if my comment on 12 April can be counted!

Thank you Google!!
ReplyDeleteThe maps on viamichelin are good but, apart from the route planning option, I cannot see a way to draw a route as I have done on Google. Do I have to create an account, do you think?
ReplyDeleteProbably not. I think it has a mind of its own.
ReplyDeleteI suppose you could chose shorter and shorter distances between departures and arrivals to force it to use minor roads.
It also claims you can alter the route by "right-clicking", but my Macintosh mouse does not right-click.
Setting up an account within Viamichelin does not seem to confer any advantages. Right clicking a route merely offers the chance to change the start or end points. There are advantages to the Michelin map with the included road numbers so I have printed my day's route from the viamichelin system and marked by hand the actual route I hope we follow. I have the Top 100 maps to fall back on if need be.
ReplyDeleteps One other advantage I found is that one can add Hotels to the display and actually see which ones they are by hovering the mouse. I thus know exactly where F1 Poitiers Sud and Angouleme are.
