    Mostly I use an online route planner (thanks THA), but I also use topo maps if they exist for the area. personally I prefer paper maps for planning but they are getting harder and harder to come by these days.

      If you don’t mind paying for an app the Strava route planner is excellent but only available on the paid version. Personally I wouldn’t be without it, can download your route and use offline when there’s no reception. Can also share your planned route, I always share with my wife who is my emergency contact in case the unthinkable happens.

        Cheers Torsten. I have looked at the free version but not the paid. Will have to check it out. I used to use Garmin BaseCamp but found that one a bit clunky. Tried Memory Maps and now I use GPX Studio.
