United States Bicycle Route System

I am on some bicycle groups and there was some discussion recently about the U.S. Bicycle Route System. Below is a Wikipedia URL that explains it in further detail. Adventure Cycling Association is a nonprofit member organization focused on travel by bicycle (bicycle touring). They have been updating the U.S. Bike Route System.

What I found interesting is you can see all routes in a state, select the state and send the route to your device. All USBRS data is accessible for free through this map interface. Use of the advanced Ride with GPS tools requires a paid account.

As I have mentioned in the past, I just use a Garmin Zumo XT motorcycle GPS on my ATV/UTV and bicycles. The Garmin Zumo XT primarily uses the GPX (GPS Exchange Format), though it supports multiple related data formats like KML, KMZ, and automated route files for different stages of trip planning.

Ride With GPS uses some other file formats, but can also use GPX format.

Various maps can be selected, including Google Maps and OSM (Open Street Maps).

Map Overlays include Custom POIs, surfaces, photographs, etc.

Various layers are available, but some were greyed out. (That is probably because I only have a free account.) One of the layers is US Cell Coverage. There are also buttons for unpaved cycling, wind, NOAA Air Quality, etc.

If you have ever had an intertest in seeing what is available beyond legacy automobile navigation, this might be of interest to some people here.

On a related note, OnX maps added cell coverage layers over a year ago to their maps. I assume they get the data from the FCC Broadband map.

Bdhsfz6, this might be of intertest to you.
