	* http://www.bikeroutetoaster.com/ : Bike Route Toaster has a free to use Course creator that allows people to prepare routes using Open Street Maps, Open Cycle Maps (and also the generic Googlemaps). It has an auto route option using OSM that works fairly well and allows to route within bike paths (Google maps routing does not allow this). other advantages are: - If you input your estimated average speed it can give you your estimated time for that route; - It gives you an altitude profile; - It can supply you with a cue sheet with directions; - You can save the route into a "*.gpx" file that can be loaded into comercial gps devices or smartphone apps, such as Osmand (Offline gps app for Android devices). Disadvantages: - The learning curve may scare some people. Is not that is hard to use, but is different; For example, you cannot search for a location, you must zoom in that location and then you can start adding way-points. But if you open another window or tab in you browser with open street maps, you can easily circumvent this problem.		* http://www.bikeroutetoaster.com/ : Bike Route Toaster has a free to use Course creator that allows people to prepare routes using Open Street Maps, Open Cycle Maps (and also the generic Googlemaps).

			* http://openrouteservice.org/ : A FOSS/FLOSS routing service that has various options, not just bike but also further settings like type of biking (f.e. racebike, tour, safest route) and more options as well as detailed graphs about elevation, street type and ground and more. It is a bit slower than most other services though. The routing is based on OpenStreetMap/OpenCycleMap and elevation data from ASTER GDEM. It's also still in developements, which means there are some bugs, but they can usually not too bad, yet the tools is usable but might make some issues with very long routes (over 200km).
