I was reading Real Simple magazine this morning and in their article about the benefits of walking, they pointed me to the Google Pedometer map. Did everyone already know about this and I just missed it? Go here to check it out. In the Jump To field, enter your zip code, then zoom in to the area you want to measure. Click the Start Recording button then double-click at points along your path and voila! You can even calculate the calories you would burn by walking that route…amazing. Unfortunately, my neighborhood has many new streets that aren’t on the map yet, so I’m still going to need to get in my car and measure my route. But this was a cool enough feature that I really wanted to share it.
