google pedometer

Somebody has implemented a pedometer for google maps which allows you to track the distance that you've run or jogged.

Here's my bike ride from yesterday, and the permalink to have a nosey at the journey too, which is a really nice feature - so you could map your journey, or maybe discuss a route that you and your pack of joggers might take and so on. (But without all the terrible inconvenience of having to actually look at a real map, with the real people present - in other words you could do it whilst at work).

What's bizarre from my perspective is that is that last night, when I got back from my wander, I wanted to know how far I'd travelled and knew roughly, but as I got a little lost when coming back up the east side of the island and 'misplaced' the Greenway path and ended up cycling up 1st ave, across harlem and back up the west which I knew, I thought it'd be interesting to be able to plot my route. And then kazam in the morning the vestal design blog had posted this. Spooky.
