Create a Course Without GPS Data

Want to know the elevation profile for a ride, run or hike you're planning? Or maybe you completed a route and wish you knew how far you went and what the elevation profile looked like? Do you have a Garmin Forerunner or Edge and want to generate a course, download to your device, then use the course for pacing or to keep you on track? Use Course Creator to do all of this and more. You don't even need a login to get started, just start mapping.

...hmmm.... It looks great Brad, but... I have one saved course (I suppose it pulled it in from "routes" in my TrainingPeaks account, and I can't seem to find a way to start adding a new route.
