websites to check route distance?
 

is there a website somewhere that i can use to check how long my route is?

say I go on this street, left on that street, etc., then give me the distance.

don't want ot buy thos GSP gizmos yet.

thanks.

Just grab Streets & Trips 2005 or your preferred map program. I think there are some online sites that do this also if you snoop aroudn the forums.

way back when, we used to pull out a road map, look at the scale, and do some estimating and addition. It was usually good enough. ;)

Here you go...

People have been loving this recently. I include myself.

Sweet link! I've already extended a couple of my regular routes using it. A topographic function would make it perfect.

Second the google maps... wonderful stuff and quite acurate.

yahoo maps hasn't let me down yet...

I can't get enough of google maps, what with the satellite images and all...

That is a great link!! Thank you for sharing it!

If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area (or a small portion of Ohio), you may find the KLIMB app useful.

I second the nomination for the gPedometer.

If you'd rather have something three-dimensional, I'd recommend DeLorme's Topo USA 5.0.

That's a pretty awesome app!!! It takes a while for me to use as the roads I ride tend to be a bit snaky but I tried it with a route that came out to 41.36 on my cycle computer and came up with 41.31. That's pretty incredible considering...
