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

How Much Would The Initial Cost Of Gis Software And Gps Instrumentation To Start A Small Mapping Business?

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Trying to start a small GIS business on my own… already have the LLC and domain name and what not..have also been networking and possibly have some small contracts potentially lined up. I am trying to focus on things like utility mapping or something, but I could definitely broaden out. What programs, extensions, and GPS instrumentation would it take for me to get started and what do you think the intitial cost would be?
Thanks a ton!
