Mapping your walking and running online free of charge

If you enjoy jogging / walking, you may wish to learn more about this website that will allow individuals to map the jogging /walking route online free of charge.

Personally, I face a problem of knowing the actual walking / jogging distance that i have covered. Unless i own a proper equipment, i can only estimate based on some prior knowledge. The website helps to address the problem for me.

On the website, you can zoom in and out of the map to locate areas of your interest. Once located, you can start to map the route by indicating a starting and ending point. The website will calculate the distance between these two points in kilomaters for you. In addition, the system will also share with you how much energy u may use (in calories) based on your weight to complete the run/walk. You can then save and print the route plotted for future reference. It also provides online training log service to help you to keep track of your exercise activities. Pretty cool and simple to use at no cost at all. :-)

The website is at http://www.mapometer.com/
Hope u will find the website useful. Have a Happy walking / jogging, everyday
