As title says, I came across this android app called BEST BIKING ROUTES, which lets you search for routes by a particular area, or you can click "near me" then your device will locate you and give you various ride out routes.

Each ride route includes ratings for various aspects of the route, plus there's two indicators at the bottom that show, through yellow to red I presume, the "hazards" and the "police" presence expected along the given route. Some of the local routes I had a quick look over even had comments from other riders who have travelled that route. Not sure if its available on iTunes but I can't see why it shouldn't be. Only came across it yesterday and first impressions are that it may be something I shall be keeping on my phone.
 
Hiya,

I have this, it is a fantastic little app and you can plot and upload routes too.

I found a nice little 90mile run using this app which gets me on the fun roads. 100% say it is a must have for any biker! (can also be handy if your google maps are playing silly buggers lol)
 
Best Biking Roads? I cant find anything for best biking routes.

Sorry, that would be the one...I was using it while I was typing my post and I was staring at the screen that says BROWSE ROUTES on it...must have stuck in my mind :o

Have also found an iPhone version.

To clear it up, here are the direct links

Android

iPhone

I also now notice they cost money.....all I will say is mine didn't cost anything, and no,its not trial version either.
 
It's a shame that there's nothing for the blackberry. I downloaded google maps for the bb and used it to plot the route to my parents a few weeks back - Liverpool to Droitwich, via Shrewsberry. I normally got M62, M6, M5 but I wanted to do this on my bike, which I'm riding on a CBT as I only started last November.

Google maps for blackberry doesn;t allow you to stipulate no toll roads, or motorways :( Anyone know of a tool that does for the blackberry?
