Thx - I hadn't seen it before. I've already done the five drives that are nearest to San Jose. (A couple of them are described in my "Redwoods & Alice's" & "Santa Cruz" threads in this forum.) And those are all 5-Star drives in my book; so I'm a fan of this Porsche collection of driving routes.

Checking out the Porsche website today I also noticed a feature for "Discover the Community with the best routes in the world."

It has map with good roads, it calculates the number of turns and converts it to GTS factor somehow. Pretty cool. And you can add your own!

I could not resist adding one of my favorites "Drunken rabbit", in West Virginia, near Snowshoe resort. It got the GTS factor of 315. Not bad, considering Tail got only 123! And my name for it surely is the best name on that map Check it out!

I added a couple of routes, the White Mountains of NH and Castle in the Clouds in NH. The White Mtn. drive is one of my favorites. I meant to stop the program in Lincoln NH but we stopped for lunch and I didn't think of it until we were on I-93 S.

Cool tool - thanks for the heads-up. I just added the Three Sisters loop in the Texas Hill Country: Porsche GTS Community. "GTS Factor": 648!

did the Ortega Hwy run two weeks ago. it was the first real run we've done since we moved here from chicago and really enjoyed it. can't wait to cross more off the list!

I have a question regarding this app.

It seems to me that it will navigate you to either the start or finish or an existing ride in the database. I can't figure out how to get guidance for the ride once I get to the start. Am I missing something here?
