route mapping site launched

there are a already few sites out there to map/view cycling routes, but i decided to make my own.

there wouldn't be much point in just re-doing what's already out there, so my site has some extra features i haven't seen anywhere else:

  • aimed at specific cities (currently seattle, portland, san fran, denver, chicago, nyc, and hotlanta), so it can be tailored to them (web cams, weather, etc)
  • local weather
  • real-time elevation graph (shows it as you click your route)
  • topo (elevation) maps
  • special markers, such as for known hills, etc
  • web cams on the map, so you can see what it looks like in different parts of the city
  • no google ads since i'm not greedy (at least not yet)
anyway, here it is, enjoy:
