Yes, I checked out a few of these sites and they are super cool for figuring out routes of different distances. A few of them really didn’t like having too many points. My favorite though is runningahead.com. Great training log site (that’s free).

This new Google Maps thing unfortunately is no real use to runners because it doesn’t even give a distance.

I’m not sure what this post is really about. Mostly an experiment. My idea was more like being able to make a map based journal of a trip or something.

Then I tried the SF Marathon route just to see how well it worked for something more complicated. Turns out not that great! Oh well.

the site can be slow, but i’ve made it work for me a few times and it’s great for mapping out local running routes.
