Are you like me and constantly guesstimating or driving your running/biking routes? Well, guess no more. Someone has used the Google Maps tool to allow you to trace your routes and get a distance. It even has a little calorie burning calculator.

Note: There are full instructions on the page on how to use it. Basically you find your neighborhood on the map and get a good zoom level and double click each waypoint until you complete your route. Enjoy!

Post one of your routes if you want. I use ImageShack to host images since they make it easy to use thumbnails.

Here's my current nightly run (about 5.1 miles) I had guessed it around 5 so I was pretty close: (click image for full size)

EDIT: Here is a view using the hybrid satellite/map view: Very cool stuff.

Doh, well I hope it's not too much of a repeat post. I read through this morning's posts and didn't see anything. Sorry for the repeat.
