Viewing Your Routes From The Air

Although you can use Google Earth or other online map services to look at your routes, there is one site that comes in particularly handy - the GMAPS Pedometer page.

According to its website, the Gmap Pedometer website is a "a little hack that uses Google's superb mapping application to help record distances traveled during a running or walking workout."

It's a fantastic tool which helped me to plan and measure routes, especially once you start doing longer runs which require a little forethought about the route.
