Get directions by car

This service allows you to quickly get directions between any cities

Russia and Abroad, and immediately see the route on the map.

What is a distance calculator for?

Look through which cities will pass the route , you will be able to decide in advance on a place to stay.

You will see the approximate fuel consumption for the entire trip and will be able to estimate the financial
expenses. You will find out how much time you spend on the road.

How do I get directions by car?

First, you need to set the starting and ending points of the route. In the calculator

There are two fields in the calculation - "city from where" and "city where". Enter in the appropriate fields

City names.

In the field "fuel consumption" enter the corresponding characteristic of your car

(in liters per 100 kilometers). In the field "fuel price" - the average price of gasoline,
with which you refuel your car.

This data is needed to calculate the total fuel consumption for the entire trip.

In the tab "additional settings for calculating distances" you can set more

Several conditions:

- “Bypassing Countries” - do not route through the territory of the specified countries.

This function is especially useful for international shipments. Allows you not to drive in

To the territory of countries with a visa regime and avoid customs inspections.

- "Avoiding cities" - do not lay a route through the territory of the specified

Cities. If you do not want to drive through a city, enter its name in

This field.

- “Avoiding Routes” - exclude the specified routes from the calculation.

- "Through cities" - the function allows you to navigate a route through a certain

City or cities, even if they are outside the shortest route.

- "Speed ​​on the road" - there are 4 types of roads - territorial,

Regional, highway, highway. You can exclude one from the calculation

Or several types.

You can plan a route by car in one of two modes:

Most short route- the minimum distance from one city to another;

Fastest route - minimum travel time (only

Expressways).

After you have set all the conditions, click the "calculate" button.

On the map that appears, the route will be marked with a thick red line, and all cities on the way will be marked with red markers.

The calculation results are presented in the form of a table, which indicates the length of the entire path, time in

The trip, the total fuel consumption and the amount that this fuel will cost.

The table also contains a list of all cities through which the route is laid, with

Division into regions and countries.

The results obtained can be printed on a printer and taken with you on the road instead of

Atlas. If you have the ability to access the Internet in your car (for example, via

Satellite or cellular network), you can check the route and correct it in

Depending on the circumstances.

However, remember that the calculations are based on averaged data. That's why

The results obtained are indicative only and not exact figures.

For the journey to be successful, it is necessary to think over and analyze its route. Ten years ago, a lot of time was spent on this process. After all, all calculations were made manually on the map using a curvimeter, as well as the usual officer's ruler.

But the Internet will help today's cyclists quickly, easily, and effectively enough to solve this problem. Special mobile services, applications for smartphones are able to create a cycle route in a matter of minutes.

What is important to consider when planning a route

There are several things to consider when planning a cycling route. Namely:

  1. Purpose of the trip. It can be different and depending on whether you need to get to a certain point in the city, or see the planned sights, or do a simple cardio workout and choose a direction, plan to overcome a certain distance.
  2. Correspondence of the bike model to the proposed route and the capabilities of the potential tourist.

    For example, not everyone will be able to drive without training long journey on, which is designed for cycling.

    A vehicle designed for walking around the city is hard to handle.

  3. Landscape. With the help of online resources, it is possible to carefully study the presence of descents and ascents on the planned road section, as well as think over the energy consumption on it.

Thanks to all kinds of Internet services, today it is quite possible to draw up a bicycle route taking into account any nuances, so that the journey is easy and only a pleasure.

Bicycles, scooters, accessories

Online resources to help the cyclist

When going on a journey through unfamiliar terrain, modern cyclists can successfully use online maps. Loaded into a smartphone, they:

  • Available at any time;
  • They will help to understand the location and correctly resolve the issue of the direction of movement;
  • They will allow you to quickly make the necessary calculations, make corrections to the route;
  • Their use provides an opportunity to discuss the problems that have arisen, to convey a picture with a plan of movement, for example, to the one who lags behind the group.

The existing special sites are a huge lifesaver, which are able not only to show how to lay a bicycle route, but also to ensure its correct compilation.

OpenStreetMap

Thanks to the work of cartographers, constantly updating information about roads around the world, the availability of infrastructure facilities, this resource works in any corner of the planet.

Easy to use Google Maps

Google Maps is very popular. Due to the enormous opportunities that this resource provides, it is used by cyclists with pleasure. It is convenient to depict the planned path of a future trip on it.

At the same time, he immediately gives out all the information about, sights and so on. You can consider a simple map, and it is also possible to plot a cycling route on a map from a satellite along the bike paths, taking into account all the turns. The image is easily saved and transmitted over the network.

Using Yandex maps

For trips across the expanses of Russia, as well as travel in the CIS countries, one of the best is the Yandex maps resource. Here, not only cities and important highways are depicted with great accuracy, but also small villages and even country dirt roads. It is this site that is used as the main key in Yandex navigator, which makes voice prompts.

How to use an online resource to get the desired route

To get a bike route, you can use the STRAVA sports tracker website. Registration on it will not take much time, and the result of a fairly simple and understandable work will always be positive.

This resource is quite massive. It is used by tourists all over the world. It is intended not only for cyclists, but also for runners, skiers and car drivers.

This resource also has its own application for Android and iOs, which is quite easy to use, but very effective, especially when using a heart rate monitor.

The work process has a certain algorithm, which consists of the following actions:

  1. You need to go to the site and through the control panel go to the "My routes" tab, where you need to click the "New route" button.
  2. Next, on the side tab, you need to go to the "Map of trainings around the world" window. After that, a page with a picture of cycling trails opens. They are painted in colors ranging from blue, the least popular, to deep red, the most used roads for cycling.
  3. Given this information, you can quickly build your route. To do this, enter the starting point of the journey into the search box.
  4. Next, you need to indicate the place of arrival and the service will instantly draw the shortest path. At the same time, STRAVA always takes into account the popularity of the roads and will never take a blue route or motorway.
  5. It immediately indicates the distance, and in the "Ascent" tab you can immediately trace the relief of the track. And if you press the "Save" button, you will get a ready-made route.

But, if there are any individual desires, then the service provides the opportunity to adjust the future route. You can also easily compose it yourself. Moreover, each image can be saved in your account in the "My routes" tab.

They are amenable to change, if necessary, they can also be printed. Thanks to these properties of the site, planning the future is quick, easy and fun.

For many, cycling is not just a fashionable hobby or sport. This is an opportunity to learn more about your city, its surroundings or go to an exciting hiking trip... How to draw up a cycling route, what should be taken into account in this case and what electronic services will help in this?

For people who are passionate about cycling, over time it becomes boring to just ride around the city. All streets and turns are already known, every path and embankment is familiar. Over time, a set of their own routes appears, and they are chosen depending on the weather, health and the need to visit some points.

In big cities, a dedicated bike path is not uncommon. The path has already been laid, and no time is needed to build it. No need to be afraid of vehicles or pedestrians, refer to the map. But over time, the same track becomes uninteresting. Building your own route is what really captivates you.

Peculiarities

When setting off on a journey to new places, think: is it so important for you to build your path in advance? After all, bicycles are not cars, you can ride on them almost everywhere: enter the address into the navigator, and go ahead. Nevertheless, true cycling connoisseurs make notes in notebooks, mark points on the map, and use special services to assess the terrain. Traveling is much more pleasant when you know in advance where to turn, where to rest, and where to pave the way through a green park instead of a highway. All this can be foreseen if you build a route in advance with a set of main points.

Cycle paths are ideal for exploring the city. In Moscow and St. Petersburg, the service is fine-tuned: you rent a bike and follow the paved path. The point of departure can be any place.

What to consider when drawing up?

  • Interests. For what purpose are you going on a trip: a pleasant walk, a specific address, sightseeing, visiting designated points or cardio training;
  • Bicycle model. The road surface you are going to pave the path may not match the capabilities of your bike;
  • Landscape. It is difficult to imagine ups and downs on a paper map, especially long ones. Use digital services to explore the area in advance;
  • The time you are going to spend from the moment you leave. It will be a morning or evening walk around the neighborhood, the embankment or a big bike trip for several days;
  • Physical form. Assess your preparation adequately. Pedaling is not as easy as it sounds;
  • Path length. It would be a mistake to build the entire path based on the mileage data alone. Consider energy costs. 10 km route Far East equivalent to nearly 100 kilometers in middle lane Russia.

Leading the way

When all of the above has been taken into account, it is time to build a route on the map. Fortunately, you don't have to carry around an entire atlas, a pencil to mark points, and a notebook to take notes right now. Online maps, interactive apps, navigators and services have taken over many of the functions that previously would have had to be performed on their own. To plan a route, it is enough to mark the start and finish points on the map. More detailed elaboration involves paving the way in segments from point to point.

It will take longer to build a route in segments, but it will be easier to follow. You will know in advance:

  • about ascents, after which you need to stop and rest;
  • about descents;
  • about ways to avoid obstacles;
  • about where there is a bike track and where it is not.

Creating a route using services

Very convenient and fast construction of cycling routes. You can familiarize yourself with the relief in advance, there is a viewing of photographs of those points where you are going to visit. The plot of heights will be created automatically, the program will calculate both the climb and the drop of the altitude. The most popular services for cyclists:

  • Google Earth program;
  • online services, in which the building of routes is based on Google Maps, but they provide additional useful features. These are www.bikely.com, www.gpsies.com, www.mapmyride.com.

Google earth

The program is intuitive and simple. To build a route, you simply select "My path", choose a starting point and start drawing it, mark as many points on the way as you need, and then save. If you save the file in the .kml or .kmz format, you can upload it to the navigator or other services, where the viewing will be more visual. Advantages and disadvantages of the program:

Online services

All of them are based on Google Maps, but sometimes surpass them in capabilities. There are services that are made specifically for cyclists, such as gpsies.com. On this map, there are many more paths, paths, automatic plotting of heights, calculation of arrival times and other possibilities in order to build the best route.

Cycling is fun and exciting. And if you lay new routes in unfamiliar places, you can also make it educational.
