Map Your Commute using Gmaps Pedometer
Head over to Gmaps Pedometer and map your commute.
This is my current commute.
In the future I may be moving locations, in which case I will have to consider this (significantly longer) commute.
What does your commute look like?

This is pretty neat! Mileage is a little off, I cut some corners kinda bad.

That was fun until I realized it doesn't go around round sections of road. It's "as the crow flies".
So anyone who posted, we now know exactly where you all live and work. <mrburns>Excellent, most excellent!</mrburns>
Edit: forgot to mention that I think this is an awesome tool for planning routes or even adding some juice to a good turn sheet for a ride (by adding mileage, I guess).

So far, I think I'll take dwightonabike's commute. 2.5 miles over the ocean seems like a pretty sweet deal. I'm sure there are disadvantages though.
You're right, ridealot, it does seem like the mileage is a little off, but it gives a good ballpark for when I want to plan a route somewhere.

My mileage is about 1 mile to little, but it was tough to get my commute! I ride on a rail trail for the vast majority of my ride and that's not on the map -- which is why my lines seem to go in the middle of nowhere!

I'm not sure if you saw this, in but in the top right corner of the map you can switch to "Satellite" mode, in which case I think you can see the rail. You did a pretty good job if you mapped it blind

A nice hack, but I prefer www.map24.com. Bonus for the fact that it has a much bigger viewing area.

Hmmm, I'm trying using the sattelite images instead (DUH!) and having a bit more success. Still, uit's a bit hard ti find the trail in some of these images - I'll post an update if I find it more accurate...
What a great way to kill the afternoon!

Okay, it was a bit harder to find the trail than I expected, but here's an improved version of my map that I used the sattelite images to draw. GMaps states 11.4 miles, but it is, in fact, 11.7 (based on both my computer and mile markers along the trail).

Really, when compared to my original I didn't do too bad drawing the map blind!

Here's mine in Auckland, NZ. Note: the maps aren't completed yet for down here, but I managed to get a reasonably accurate course. Most of my ride is by the pacific ocean

Well, this is as close as I can get it. Not sure what the commute is really in Miles, but it's 21km each way, so 42km/day.

Too bad it doesnt do elevation. My commute to class is 3.5 miles but on the way home, I have a 350ft climb in about a mile. Its fun to go to class though. Its that climb that requires 50 gear inches that prevents me from going fixed or have a higher gear than 32x18.

Very, very cool. Here's my commute. Mine was easy to map because the bikepath I use is by the river along one of our major streets here in Montreal.
