I’m heading to Copperhill, TN, to visit a buddy over Memorial Day weekend, from Columbia, SC. I started searching for roads that are not hardball to possibly do some exploring on. In doing so, I came across this site, which might be useful:

This is great. Thanks. I’m planning a fairly remote ride in a couple of weeks. This will be helpful.

That's really useful. I've already started rating and adding a comment to a place I know well.

I’m not a graveler, but that is pretty cool.

I've been using gravelmap.com a bit and adding dirt/gravel roads as I find them. It's pretty easy to use.

2 things:

1. Wish there was app, not just a webpage.
2. It does a great job of identifying dirt/gravel roads, but it does not do a good job of locating your location on their map. It always has me off of where I am actually sitting. You have to have a good idea where you are at because gravelmap.com won't pin your location correctly.
