Mapping software

[illusion]

Hey,

Anyone know of some mapping software where I can draw a route on and it will tell me how much distance is covered on the route? Basically it is so I can draw out different routes where I can go running. I know I could probably work it out manually on a map, but thats like, so 90's....

Cheers.

Microsoft do a package called autoroute (or something akin to that). Anyhoo that does what you are requiring. Or just go out in your car/bike and use the odometer to measure the distance...thats what I do.

You can do that in google earth.

There is also Memory Map which, when given the right map and elevation data, can also give you a profile of the route and total vertical ascent/descent information.

I use Anquet maps for planning and checking walking / cycling routes. Just click away and form a route and it tells you everything you'd need to know, plus a pretty diagram.

Has demo downloads on site.
