The tool now uses the <b>Google Maps API</b>.

See the radio button under the distance buttons. <div class="hdng">What is this?</div> <div class="para">This is a little hack that uses Google's superb mapping application to help record distances traveled during a running or walking workout.</div> <div class="hdng">Usage:</div> <div class="para">Just as you do at <a href="http://maps.google.com">Google Maps</a>, drag or double-click to move the map, use the slider to increase or decrease the zoom level, and click the "Satellite" button (top right) to switch to satellite imagery.</div> <div class="para">When you're ready to start recording the distance you traveled, click the <b>Start recording</b> button. </div> <div class="para">Thereafter, every <b>double-click</b> will draw a point on the map, and the distance from your last point and your cumulative distance will both appear in the boxes above. Note that only a double-click will create a new point.</div> <div class="para">If you make a mistake or change your mind, the <b>Undo last point</b> button will remove the last point drawn and revert your distances to what they were before you drew it.</div> <div class="para">If you want to start over, click the <b>Clear points and start over</b> link.</div> <div class="para">If you want to save your map, click the <b>Permalink</b> link and the URL in your browser's location bar will be updated with information about your current map. If you follow that link later from a bookmark or by plugging it directly into the browser, you will get back exactly the map you were viewing when you created the permalink, location and route, and distances.</div> <div class="para">Use the <b>miles/kilometers</b> radio button beneath the distance boxes to choose your units.</div> <div class="hdng">Why?</div> <div class="para">As a runner training for a marathon for the first time, I found myself wishing I had an easy way to know the exact distance a certain course is, without having to drag a GPS or pedometer around on my runs. Looking at Google Maps, and knowing there was a vibrant community of geeks hacking it, I knew there had to be a way. So here it is.</div> <div class="para">Note that there's a reason this is called a pedometer. Considering that you have to choose all the points in your route individually yourself, it's probably not suitable for driving trips and the like. But I've found it suits my purposes pretty well for getting running distances.</div> <div class="hdng">Acknowledgements and references</div> <ul><li>First and foremost, <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>, who made a great map site, and had the chutzpah to make it driven by client-site code and hackable.
