Welcome to bikehike.co.uk

This website is intended for anyone wanting to create or view routes on either the Google maps or the Ordnance Survey maps. Since the Ordnance Survey maps are limited to the United Kingdom, this site is primarily intended for, and indeed optimised for, UK users. Non-UK users may also find it useful operating in single map mode.

The great advantage of the Ordnance Survey maps (particularly the Landranger series) is the huge amount of detail they contain. Therefore mountain bikers and hikers can now create routes along byways, bridleways and footpaths. Roadies may also find it useful to see the added level of detail contained on the OS maps.



Features:

To start creating or viewing courses on the maps go to the course creator page by clicking the course creator link above.

Performance tip:  there's a lot of javascript code running on the course creator page - particularly as it has to maintain both the Google and OS maps as you create your route. You will find the performance of the site is much better on Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Safari - particularly if you are using computationally intensive features like Drag Edit. If you're still using Internet Explorer, then you really could do much better - for free.

Any issues, suggestions or other feedback, please contact me at:

Absolutely no obligation at all - but if you'd like to make a small donation towards the costs of running the site, all donations gratefully received.
