Map Out Your Routes With Gmaps Pedometer
April 18, 2008 – 5:55 am
One of the best ways to get your weight under control and get back in shape is by participating in regular aerobic activities such as running, hiking or cycling.
It is a good idea to keep a record of your fitness activities including the time and the distance that you cover. I used to drive my routes in my car to determine the distance but now I have a better way – the Gmaps Pedometer.
Gmaps Pedometer is one of the constantly expanding Google map services. All you have to do is zoom on your route and click Start Recording then double-click on the map along your route to highlight your path. I have found that the accuracy improves if you put markers along each turn and curve of your route.
Once you mark out your route, Gmaps Pedometer will calculate the distance you walked, ran or cycled. You can save the route or print a copy of your route for your record book. If you are one of the many people who have a GPS with software installed on your computer, you can export your route in the GPX format so you can import it to GPS software. Check it out.
