National cool road database

[jabberwoki]

So i had an idea about a database for cool roads to drive.
It would have listings by state then secondary listings by county.
Each entry would give the name of the road and the area its in with a brief description of the road itself.
I`m not puter savvy to set it up, not sure the best way to post entries ?
Maybe send recommendations to a thread manager to include them in the database?

Obviously the simpler the better just lean and clean.

When in doubt, search for motorcycle routes. Been using these for years.

Great topic. I was thinking it would be great to have a Ride with GPS or Stava-like app for scenic/spirited routes. The drivers club I am in plans routes and we go do group drives. I've started utilizing my cycling routes for these drives.

Their entry for IL is definitely wrong. The isolated curvy backroads throughout the Driftless Region of NW Illinois between Freeport, Galena and Apple River are absolutely the best.

well... there are far better, but since North IL/S. WI have f'all for curves the Apple river/Galena are indeed a welcome experience.

This is why i`d like just you mugs to do the imputing in our own database ,that way we know its kosh.

Make it our own.

Good topic. Roadcurvature.com is pretty good at finding twisty roads but it’s a bit hit or miss based on congestion , paved , etc.

Second this. The Butler maps are great. There is an app for iPhone (maybe Android too) called Rever that is a motorcycle nav app that lets you plan out rides. If you subscribe within the app, you can show the Butler picks for great driving roads as an overlay within the app.
