The .GPX file format is a kind of de facto standard format for storing route information on GPS devices, so any routing website that can't handle it is not going to be much use. Google Earth uses a different format, .KML. Google them and you'll get an idea of what they do.

I think that changing the activity from cycle to something else affects the energy burn calculation. I haven't checked it but I assume if you set it to Drive you shouldn't get much credit!

So, I have both apps, but love cyclemetre
But, only downfall is cyclemetre doesn't record all my rides on a website, but I "believe" mapmyride does right?

I love the mapymyride website for looking up maps and routes and tracking my rides easily in one spot

I know I get emails from CM but when busy you often forget about these and move on and they are just a nice to have to look back on
Is this right or anyone have any comments

Off to ride Brighton to kurnell now while there's no kids in the house and distractions, getting bored doing it alone though as a mate pulled out again

Thanks
CellSS200 hybrid, had a Trek Madone 4.5 but had an altercation with a courier van. Looking for a nice ride soon
