   A nice feature would be to be able to compare 2 routes, both for length and elevation.
   This would be particularly usefull to compare 2 ways of getting to/from somewhare.
   
   I would envision that the second route on the map would display in a different color (or a different line type)
   Then on Show elevation profile, there would be 2 profiles plotted against the same distance axis.
   
   This would enable you to decide which route to choose based on elevation profile or distance.

   I do this by combining routes (downoad the gpx file, combine with notepad, and upload)
   EXAMPLE .
   FavoriteRun.com has a neat option to combine routes in their paid mode [but no "follow roads"].

   So do I,
   I now use excel - its not fancy code - but works well and can be used to do say 5 days riding>
   Like all good code its self documenting.
   Surely it would be easy to add something to bikely to replicate this VB code in Java or whatever?
   
   Sub MergeGPXfiles()
   Trkseg = True
   Open "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\Download\Bicycle_Maps\GPX\Sunshine-Coast-Airport-to-Caloundra.gpx" For Input As #1
   Open "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\Download\Bicycle_Maps\GPX\Caloundra-to-Glass-House-Mountains.gpx" For Input As #1
   Open "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\Download\Bicycle_Maps\GPX\Output.txt" For Output Shared As #99
   Do While Not EOF(1)
   Input #1, Record
   If Record = "</trkseg></trk></gpx>" Then Trkseg = False
   If Trkseg = True Then Print #99, Record
   Loop
   Trkseg = False
   Do While Not EOF(1)
   Input #1, Record
   If Record = "</trkseg></trk></gpx>" Then Trkseg = False
   If Trkseg = True Then Print #99, Record
   If Record = "<trkseg>" Then Trkseg = True
   Loop
   Record = "</trkseg></trk></gpx>"
   Print #99, Record
   Close #1, #2, #99
   End Sub

   tmciam -
   I'm not very familiar with excel - I use Lotus (basically the DOS version :-) .
   Your code looks like basic - can you run basic within excel ?
   I can't follow exactly what you're doing but two of your #1 obviously need to be #2.
   
   Here is how I do it:
   
   copy file #1 as file #9
   open file #2 with notepad
   delete all lines down to and including the <trkseg>
   delete the last line
   select all [Ctrl+A] copy [Ctrl+C]
   close #2 (don't save)
   open file #9 and paste [Ctrl-V] at the beginning of the last line
   close #9 (do save)
