Just recently found this site that provides an overlay on google earth which highlights curvy roads in any given region. I just picked up an E36 here in Germany and have been looking for good roads to test it out. After searching the interwebz i found the roadcurvature site. It works so well. Very impressed with the software. Once you have google earth you just download the c_1000 file for your area and open it with google earth. Works like a charm and i found some killer roads around Freiburg. Its not perfect...sometimes it will highlight a road in bright pink (which means extremely curvy) but it will just be a nearly straight road that google maps has given incorrect data points for. But this is easy enough to get around simply by zooming in on the road in question and disregarding it if its bunk.
Here’s a look at the roads near me.
Just went up to Schauinsland and back. Epic drive with a fantastic view of the surrounding area while you climb the mountain. Now im searching for other roads and have quite a few in mind.
Anyways, hope this helps some of you guys looking for good roads to cruise. ;)
