Howfarisitometer

Howfarisitometer. I stumbled on this neat page where you can map out routes on Google Maps and also calculate the distance covered. It even generates a permalink which you can use to retrieve the same route again. Brillliant.

The author has generously given permission for anyone to use the javascript file on their site, as long as you credit the author with a link. Trés cool.

[Update 2007.02.20]: I’ve mirrored a version of the original code with some small tweaks. I’m not entirely sure what I’ll be doing with it yet, but it’s still very cool.
