We have experimented with a half-dozen on-line mapping programs. All but two have gone out of business. Our maps are now done with RideWithGPS.
RideWithGPS provides for FREE print-outs of Cue Lists and downloads of GPX tracks . We have not yet found any mapping software that easy to read ride maps. As far as accuracy (e.g. knowing which roads are paved or actually exist), the Detailed County Maps seemed to be the best.
Map Your Bike Ride. This Mapping Web Site is excellent and easy to use. Quickly plot a route and it automatically adds a FREE Cue Sheet and display a dynamic elevation profile. You can also view your route by satellite, combo, OSM, and terrain. The cellphone app has and audio turn-by-turn feature (subscription) that easily replaces Garmin. View key stats like mileage and elevation. Download GPX tracks to hiking/biking GPS units.
Map Your Bike Ride. Originally, this was our default Mapping Website. Although full features, they charge for the most useful options. The club hasn't used since 2012 when they started charging for the tools we used. We don't have good a review..
