Sustrans routes GPS

Post by bobzeller »

Are Sustrans routes, including the Trans Pennine route for road bikes, available for GPS? The Sustrans website provides no information.

Thanks

People have mapped most/all of these as public routes on websites like ridewithgps and mapmyride.
You just need to search for the relevant route which can then be exported as a GPX file for display on a GPS device.

Some of the route planners have the OSM cycle map which allows you to plot the route with your own modifications

It would be great if their routes were available digitally on their website... p'raps they are - I'll take a look!

Tip: Mr Coulouris notes that they are tagged (right word?) thus on OSM:
"...how to download GPX files for almost all the Sustrans National Cycle Network routes (i.e. those mapped as 'NCN xx') from OpenStreetMap."

'Are Sustrans routes, including the Trans Pennine route for road bikes, available for GPS...'

try http://cycle.travel/map where all the Sustrans routes are detailed by red dots (I believe). Once located you can then save as GPS file to load on your Garmin, which is what I do using that site

Don't need to follow the red dots on http://cycle.travel/, just click on Route Guides and there is many of the Sustrans routes with gpx to download.

How do you do this. I've tried and whilst I can create a route (that takes much of a Sustrans marked route), I still have to create a route (deciding on start and end points, make it follow the Sustrans route, etc. make mistakes, etc. and then export my route. How do you get just the marked Sustrans route ?

JMaude is right that there's a bunch under 'Route Guides'. I've also plotted quite a lot of the best-known others - you can see them on city pages (e.g. if you go to http://cycle.travel/city/oakham you'll see a link to NCN 63), or you could just type 'NCN 63' into the search box and look for the result that says 'Journey-Planner Route'.

Failing that let me know and I'll plot it!

No offence to Rich F and cycle.travel, which I think is Fab and point out to all-and-sundry, :-) but wouldn't it be great if all the Sustrans routes were as easy to find, in gpx form, on the Sustrans website?

yes !!

I am planning to timelapse-video the length of the London Out Orbital Path and the London Inner Ring

It's a bit of a mammoth planning exercise as it is (batteries and distance!). as will be uploading all the vids, tagging etc.

anyone know where I can download SIMPLY all the various legs as I will need to do each one separately.
