Can anyone recommend a good site for drawing a route *for a car* on a map by clicking on key points along the way, so a route follows the curves of roads between the points that I click?
GMap and Mapometer are great for ordinary roads, as long as you take precautions to click points sufficiently closely spaced that the algorithm doesn't go off-road onto cycle tracks. But they have a big restriction: they will not allow a route to be drawn on roads that cyclists and runners are not allowed to use, such as motorways.
There are times when it is useful to be able to draw a map that uses motorways, to generate a GPX file.
I'm not talking about satnav which chooses the best route between start and end points. I'm talking about being able to draw the route myself, taking whatever turnings I choose.
OK, I could do it on Mapometer by turning off "follow roads" when I get to a motorway and drawing straight line segments, but that is tedious.
There are many sites which are aimed at runners and cyclists but I haven't yet found a site which forces the route to use roads that are accessible by car (ignoring cycle tracks etc), and which includes motorways and other roads that cyclists are banned from.
