I don't mind paying, I find it invaluable for plotting new routes but it has to be the version I was using 3 weeks ago with tracks and satellite as most of the routes I am plotting are off-road. Also, will it be stable? The site has been down twice no in recent months and despite various contacts, I had no reply whatsoever. I know £8 is not a lot in the big scheme of things but it is frustrating especially as the 1st outage was over a week.

I have been attempting to plan a cycle route route in The Netherlands, as I have done each year recently.
However, much to my disappointment, it has now become almost impossible.
The cycle paths which cover that country are mostly ignored now when setting up a route- it prefers to use the roads and quite often suggests huge detours at junctions.
One can uncheck the "follow roads" box, but this defeats the whole point of the software.
Pity, I've just paid too.

Well, I've found that Strava follows the cyclepaths quite nicely (see my previous post)
I can reformat the .gpx files to .kml and check the route out on Google Earth- and use the pegman if I need to.
Sorry guys, I'm off.
