So here it is.<br \/>\nNote that there&#8217;s a reason this is called a pedometer. Considering that you have to choose all the points in your route individually yourself, it&#8217;s probably not suitable for driving trips and the like. But I&#8217;ve found it suits my purposes pretty well for getting running distances.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gmaps Pedometer is a handy site that lets you map out your router for walking or running.
