Which Mapping Software For Creating Bicycle Routes Would You Recommend?

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Hi,
I would like to purchase a software application or use a website that would allow me to do the following:
* Map out bicycle routes and print the finished map that includes road names.
* Add and print turn-by-turn instructions.
* Note the locations of bathroom facilities, parks, stores, bike shops, picnic areas, coffee shops, and other splace of interest. Ideally, I could note the place either on the route or near to the route.
The software would calculate and show the mileage between turns as well as the route’s total mileage.
If I map a route in which I turn around at its farther point, and ride the same route in reverse, the software should double the route’s mileage.
The closest option I found was www.mapmyride.com, but I kept experiencing difficulties, so I gave up on that site for now. They are definitely on the right track, however.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
CycleMan
