I'm a gps junkie now too, but I also use Microsoft's Streets & Trips. It has a handy measuring tool where you drag the cursor down the street on a map and it adds up the mileage. Great for planning a new loop or figuring a course that will add up to an exact planned mileage. And even here in the ruralest reaches, every road is in there..it's amazin'.


I would SO use that!

If i had a computer.


Umm... just how are posting here then?! Surprised

I also run marked trails and a local OSU race that marked 5K on campus.
