I love this, I am always keeping count of the blocks I walk.

I prefer mapmyrun.com -- you can save the routes and add to you calendar. It'll keep track of how far you went that week or that month (not just for running/walking, but also for your gym exercise, bike rides, etc). If you keep track of the time it took you to complete that, it automatically calculates your pace and calories burned.

I always use the hybrid view since it's great to figure out the trails in DC.

I always use gmaps pedometer over mapmyrun, runninglog, and all 3289238932892389 others of those same things. why?

gmaps pedometer is simple. i don't need an account. and i can just bookmark my route! Also, the interface is a lot simpler and easier to use than, in particular, mapmyrun's (waaay too many features to be usable).

I've been using this for my runs for a long time!

Yeah, this isn't really a novel idea.. I've been using mapmyrun.com forever and it's awesome.

This was actually much easier for me to use because I couldn't get mapmyrun to track the distance around a park that I walk at (it's not your typical .25 miles around like a track), so this was key. Thanks, Fit!

i like www.favoriterun.com it uses google maps and you can share your routes with other runners

This is great!

this is great! my route to and from work is 200ish calories--just around what i estimated. i'm glad i could look and actually find out for sure, though!

So Cool. I'll definitely use this

awesome!!!!

I use Gmaps pedometer all the time to create new running routes and new dog-walking routes. It's a really cool program and it's pretty easy to use.

Google Earth has had a similar tracking tool for a while now...

I love this site & use it frequently. But I could swear I first read about it here.

cool!

i like mapmyrun.com, it's great. I haven't heard of this one though!

I LOVE this mapping program! I used it during my trip to London to log all my walking miles. It was great to keep track of all my hard work. Now I use it all the time at home.

Neat.

I use this all the time. It really motivates me to go further and further without taking the subway.

Very cool. I walk every day on my lunch break and now I know what the distance is that I have been walking and how many calories I am potentially burning. Thanks for the web tip!

Am I the only dummy who's having trouble with this thing? How do you start marking your points? I've got it on my home address and when I try to click and drag, I'm dragging the whole map. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Forget it - I've got it now! DUH! Haha - Happy Monday to everyone

joanna33t: click "start recording", then double click at your first point on the map. then double click your second. and so on. until you're done and click "end recording".
