Instructions

In the “jump to” box, enter your starting address and click “go.” Then, on the left menu, click on “start recording.” From here, you can begin to plot your route by double-clicking anywhere on the map. It’s best to map/click in small segments, because if you create a long distance between points, the map will find the shortest distance between the two points and won’t necessarily follow your particular route. You can save your route by clicking on “save route,” and that will generate a URL specific to your data that you can bookmark, e-mail, etc. You can enter your weight for approximate calories burned, and turn on/off the elevation graph and mile markers.
