Google's My Maps and commute map
I just found the new My Maps at Google. Kinda cool, not the answer to life, but still neat.
I made a map of my commute.
Howz about some of ya'all make maps of yours and post links here?
Mine is linked from my annoying bike blog, linked in my sig below.

I've been using Bikely for this stuff.
There are over 10,000 routes on there from all over the world.
I love looking at peoples commutes from like Mallorca or melbourne.

Cool. (MyMaps) I wish it let you merge lines though. 
I kept double-clicking by accident, and it "completed" my lines.
Here's the portion of my commute that's on a MUP.

This is my current commute to work, back is about the same:
https://www.routeslip.com/routes/25296
Once I'm reconditioned and not so sick, I'll be extending it back out to ~8 miles, right now I shamefully kinda feel it after all the wind and crap on this short ride in.
I use routeslip to keep a rough log of my trips/mileage, love it.

Route Slip looks cool. I'll have to check that out.
Here is my route on Gmap-Pedometer. https://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=835725
The vertical profile would look something like a flat line.
I'd like more hills but oh well.

On Priest road on the bridge (SR202, Salt river) This bridge is right under the landing path for planes as you pointed out.
Planes fly right over your head. I had a 747 land one time and timed it just right. WOW
