Well... I thank everyone for their help, but I've having a great deal of trouble navigating the site - even finding a clear template upon which I can begin to pencil in routes eludes me. I'm not admitting defeat 'I'll be back', as the Terminator said, I'm not terminal I'll learn - eventually.

In the meantime I'm using the SportDistanceCalculator.com and the Bikely.com site mentioned above, to create a data base of routes in my blog and at a new Biking Toronto blog - for Toronto Cyclists to use This spring. :)

@Guillaume Audirac

For the Paris, Tours link; I like it. And the Wiki links are most helpful. Merci!

@Paul Johnson Thank you for that.

Thanks for the links everyone.

Been thinking... ..a blog post option associated with each route added. Blogs could be tagged or crawled to create a word-cloud. tag/word-clouds include: Location; start/finish, landmarks, Lat. - Long., and also for Purpose; rally, touring, commute, recreation.

Hovering over routes would pop-up tag/word cloud.

I'll start exploring map making tomorrow morning, after a good nights sleep.

Thanks again, help always welcome.
