Can anyone recommend a good application, compatible with something like
Google Maps or Bikely.com?

It needs to be able to store a route - with maps of the surrounding
areas, to some extent - and keep them accessible even when it has no
access to a network.

I mostly use MotionX GPS, which caches maps (you can precache also)
and imports .gpx files cleanly, which is what bikely uses.

What exports can you pull out of Google Maps?

I don't think you can export from Bikely, I have just realised.

Not sure.

Can too! Choose a route so you get a map, go to the Share menuthing,
Download GPX.

I had a play around and couldn't see anything useful at all... but
Google's idea of a useful UI and mine are radically different, so I'm
likely just missing the way in.
