I rarely use Google. How do you use it to draw your commute route? I'd like to try drawing mine. Thx.
I'd miss the miles, except that I haven't been riding them now, because it takes two hours a day. I can always go out of my way to make my 5.5 mile commute longer if I have the time, but I couldn't do the opposite and make my 17 mile commute shorter, which was a problem.
You can use
this site to trace out any route you want on top of google's maps. It's a pretty cool website.
