Google maps
 

Hello again people.

Well, although I've written a couple of messages, I present myself as should be. My name is Luis, I'm from Valencia, (Spain) and I have a Harley Davidson Heritage with which he traveled throughout much of Europe.

Can not reach your height, then my trips so far have been from Valencia to Denmark a few years ago and toured the United States is a Pontiac, which took me to make great friends in Harpers Ferry (one of my stops).

Wanted to make a couple of queries and pass any suggestions.

I'm trying to plan my route via Google Maps, (from Valencia to Indonesia), Use Google Maps, Google Maps only allows me to do a route between 2 places in Europe or America.

How do I can plan a route from Valencia (Spain) to any country in Asia?.

I've also tried with Google Earth, but just give me straight lines between points of destination that you add.

How?.

Thank you.

One suggestion:

I recently received an email from a fellow Lithuanian HUBB would happen in my city (Valencia), indicated he would like to talk to me for a coffee or even allowed to sleep one night in my house.

I was out of my city and when I read the e-mail several days had passed.

It would be good for someone when you want to spend a few days at home of some fellow HU, it not only announced one day in advance as she did.

For my part I have no problem in leaving a bed and have a beer with co-HU passing through my town, but not a day before aviseis please. Doing it with more time.


Thanks and see if you can answer to Google Maps.

A greeting


LUIS

Hey Luis, my interpretation of your question is that you want to mark a route on google maps along roads?

When in mymaps click on the 'straight line tool box' and select the 'follow roads' option. Any line you draw will follow the road between two destinations, rather than giving you a straight line.

Hope this helps,
Tom.

Hey Luis,

My name is David and I ride a Suzuki GS500E. I have never riden in Asia but I do have a map site you can try. I like Google a lot and I am pretty sure you can use it for what you want, but try this site and see if it works for you. It is on the Allstate site, its designed for motorcycle riders, so its worth a try.

Routing in Google Maps
 

Google Maps only provides routing capabilities for North American and some European countries.

For planning routes between distant countries.

Try NAVTEQ site NAVTEQ Map24 - Maps and Driving Directions for USA, Canada and Europe

If you want this detail of planning then you probably want a GPS. Buy either a Garmin GPS or a small Windows PC that you can mount in your tank bag, Garmin Mobile XT software and load free maps into this. For most of the world you get maps from OSM. For Malaysia use MalSingMaps and for Indonesia Navigasi.net. All of these are routable, meaning you will get turn instructions while riding.
