A Good Website For Setting A Walk, It Would Have To Be A Circular Walk.

[piggynose]

i´ve hunted for ages on the net and cant find anything. what i want is a map of a 7 mile walk, with all the roads on the map clearly marked.
thanx in advance

does it matter where the walk is?

[Smowball]

That's a long walk

Enter your chosen area in your search box, thus:
Yorkshire dales walks maps.
You will see a good selection of walks of varying lengths.

Hi have you tried 'mapometer' it allows you to plan your own route, wherever you are. Hope you find this useful.

[piggynose]

i´m based in madrid, so will try mapometer, stob

[Tilly2]

I would use Google maps and put the route in. You can then vary the route to please yourself.

[stob]

Hi piggynose I just tried Madrid and it works ok. Good luck with your walks.

[piggynose]

i´m not any good with orientation tilly, so have no idea about what route to put in.
stob, googles mapometer/madrid and got nothing. sorry for sounding like an idiot

[stob]

Try this http://gb.mapometer.com

[piggynose]

still no joy stob, are there supposed to instructions somewhere?

[Zacs-Master]

It's pretty intuitive. You just press start and then tap on the map where you want to...Erm...start and then keep tapping on the route.

Hi maybe only works in uk ?

[Tilly2]

Just put in the start point and the end point and it does it for you, Piggy. Then, you can change it if you want to.

[piggynose]

i think you`re right, it looks like it only works in the uk

I've just plotted an 8-mile circular walk starting at the south end of El Retiro park, going up to El Viso and returning via Eva Duarte park. Have you clicked on the Start tab on the left first?

[piggynose]

jno, are you talking about mapometer?

[stob]

Morning piggy, on the mapometer site on the left hand side is 'Draw route' if you click on this it opens up a drop down section the 'Start' tab is there. Then click on the map where you want to start, then continue to click on the map choosing your route.

stob, im sure i tried this yesterday without any luck, will try again, by the way its impossible with my phone, too fiddly

[piggynose]

i´m sure its possible, but being a bit on the slow side, i still dont get it, intuitive its not!
i´m clicking and after a minute a line appears, which wasn´t what i wanted! its just like trying to draw something with closed eyes
