Free Grough route planner
« on: 10:38:47, 21/04/20 »
Yesterday Grough launched "a special, free Covid version of its online mapping and route planning system grough route."
Continuing with their blurb, "We hope this will help you plan your daily exercise outing, whether that’s a walk, a run or cycle.
Anyone signing up for the new service will be limited to an area within eight miles of their postcode, to comply with government guidance to stay local when exercising.
Grough route offers Ordnance Survey mapping at 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 and already has more than 5,500 shared routes available, created by existing subscribers.
New subscribers to the free Covid version can also create their own local routes on their computer, then print out the map marked with the route to take with them. These will, by default, be private routes only available to the person who created them, so as not to encourage too many people to converge on the same paths and bridleways."

Update: Registration requires an email address, full name, a password and your postcode.

Then your fist choice of password isn't accepted as it's to short.

Then your longer password isn't accpted as it's not complex enough.

Having successfully logged in, the screen is showing me a list of actions that are taking place but things have come to a halt at "Creating user interface panes". There has been nothing more for five minutes. Broken already?

And the registration page says it may not be compatible with Chrome and even if you plot a route it may print a blank page.
