Quantum GIS will let you create routes as vector layers that can be exported in a number of formats, including GPX. It will also calculate distances. Of course, you need the map data, OSM is one source; QGIS will read pretty much any geospatial data format, including web sources. It should be in most distros. Possibly overkill for what you want, it's a pretty comprehensive geospatial tool. -jh -- Please post to: [email protected] Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
