Summary
Analyze keywords

On The Go Map is created by athletes for athletes to make it as easy as possible to plan and share workout routes. Map a route in no time, then create a permalink to send to friends, embed in a blog or website, export as GPX, or send to your phone to follow along by GPS.

Stores routes in Google Drive so changes are instantly synced between devices. Share routes with other Google Drive users to collaboratively edit in real-time.

Displays distance, elevation gain and profiles so you'll know exactly what you're in for before you head out.

Works great on small screens so you can view and edit routes on smartphones and tablets.

Author's note: Whenever I'm running or biking someplace new, I use On The Go Map to map my run or ride then create a permalink and send to my phone. While I'm out, I can pop open the link to see my location plotted on top of the route.

Not bad, but I don't see the option to add to or change a route easily, without creating an entirely new route. Also need to be able to turn off the auto save. I also agree with others, that there needs to be an Android app that syncs with this.
