Apparently the GTS is the only 911 made for street use, because with its launch they have also launched the "GTS Community". A Google Maps based archive of the best driving roads. You can also add your favorite drives into the mix.
Much electronic, such speed, very #GTSRoutes.
The neat factor here is that each road gets a user star rating and a "GTS factor", aka how curvy it is.
Go explore it !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Well, luckily they haven't found any of the good roads in Florida yet.

There are a few if you know where to look. Most of them are abandoned mining roads in the center of the state. Since Florida is so flat, when they dig mines for phosphates, they fill up with water pretty quickly once they're done with that spot. They'll do this over and over again, building roads to the new site. As a result, there are empty roads that meander around artificial lakes all over the place. They aren't well maintained, but they're definitely twisty and pretty much empty.

Yeah I did some exploring in/around Apopka when I was at school down there, definitely some empty roads but not much twist to any of them.

The spot that I usually go to if I have time is about an hour SW of there. Make a rectangle between Bartow, Mulberry, and Ft. Meade and zoom in on Google Maps if you want to see the type of area that I'm talking about. It's not WNC twisty with switchbacks everywhere, but it's the best that I've found in Florida.

Very true, my dad actually moved up close to there and he sent me a photo of it snowing 2 weeks ago. None of it stuck to the ground, but still … damn.

And now I have to go change my pants thank you very much.
But seriously thank you for the tip on this app. Needless to say I have not gotten anything accomplished I wanted to today.

Interesting and fun. If you want more routes, go search for motorcycle routes: http://www.motorcycleroads.com . I found a much denser set of fun drives/roads on this site.

Wow only one route in Arizona? I was hoping for some good ideas.

Yep still around, and over the years has accumulated a LOT of routes. (some are crap) But I am very excited to see where this Porsche app will be in the next few months after everyone adds their favorite roads.
Has anyone tried to add a route to GTS from a Desktop?? It's nearly impossible!! You need to know the starting and ending address???@#%$% wtf Porsche. AND you can only log in with Facetube or Twatter accounts.

Lol sorry about the desktop struggles. But I think I'll redownload that BMW app. All the ones currently on the Porsche is VERY obvious.

In case you're interested. There's another great website out there called Twisty Road Finder.com
It's JUST like the BMW and Porsche services... only different.
This web based (Bing Maps) application uses algorithms to calculate curvy roads across the country. I have actually found quite a few roads that I never knew about (were not posted on BMW/Porsche's apps)
A pretty cumbersome website, but it looks like they are adding changes all the time.
