Better Route Mapping with Gmaps Pedometer

Much easier to use than the standard Goodle maps, this is a "hack" of Google Maps somebody did to map their running routes. Looking at the route close up, the route is marked at each mile to get an idea of how far each transition is from the last. Not only that, but you can view the elevation gain along the entire route. There are three modes including runner specific, bicycle specific, and manual, which allows you to route terrain where Google Maps hasn't acknowledged a road (See Cranberry Rd. south or Rte. 9..) I haven't figured out how to post the maps here. But here's a link to yesterday's 69 mile ride. I found this on the AKFixed blog, fixed gear riding in Auckland, NZ.
