Complex routes? lol! My friends hate it when I route us on virgin roads, er roads with no painted lines. Route complexity is true riding. the majority of my routes can in no way be written down and followed in any easy manner. Too many turns, roads, and directions. Thus the beauty of using google maps to route with. One can really ride rural roads with not a worry! I agree that there is realy no reason to plot a route longer than a days ride. Even then 600 miles rural road days are VERY complex and are large gpx files. Back when I started the route gpx thing, I made the mistake of trying to route the whole excursion. Just trying to help others avoid that mistake.



Moe, I'm with you on the "virgin" roads. That's where the fun is! I'm disappointed if on ride one of those new roads turns out to NOT be dirt at some point, at least for a quarter mile or so.

The first time I planned a day's ride with Mapsource on the Garmin it was like a revellation. Having the route on the Garmin frees you up to enjoy the ride and the scenery.
