To answe...Hey BostonMouse, Thanks for the comment. To answer your question, google maps doesn't have an elevation feature that I am aware of, but BuckeyeOutdoors does. BuckeyeOutdoors is a free online running log (works for other sports too). It has a mapping feature built into it, and when you trace a route it shows you the elevation profile. Give it a try!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14409583215563478280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333220961486122274.post-24825421485142195752010-12-15T11:46:24.136-06:002010-12-15T11:46:24.136-06:00Cute that your grandparents still worry about you....Cute that your grandparents still worry about you. When I used to travel a lot for business my grandmother would get all nervous because I was going to "strange" cities. <br /><br />The problem I have/had when trying to run when travelling for business is that I am usually staying in a downtown area and it's hard to find a route where you don't have stop at a light / cross walk every hundred yards or so, but it is a great way to get familiar with a city. <br /><br />A, somewhat, related question, does Google maps provide elevations? I am looking for a hill in my area to do hill training that is of a decent elevation and length and can't figure out the best way to do it. Length is easy enough, but all I can find about determining elevation is these complicated science experiments where I to bring protractors and other stuff to the hill to measure it.BostonMousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539054418355523956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333220961486122274.post-72841374371506028952010-12-09T09:10:49.704-06:002010-12-09T09:10:49.704-06:00Those Google maps always seem to provide the help ...Those Google maps always seem to provide the help we need when looking for routes - it's hard to think about what we used to do without them!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00549559153059700099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333220961486122274.post-25533167102230382942010-12-08T21:27:15.628-06:002010-12-08T21:27:15.628-06:00Glad you found a decent, yet I'm sure complete...Glad you found a decent, yet I'm sure completely safe route while on vacation. I agree, Google Maps rocks when traveling! In my planning travel in an area that I'm generally unfamiliar I use Google Maps first, then frequently call the concierge's desk of the hotel I'm contemplating staying at to confirm the suitability of what appears to be good running (sometimes it's misleading, as green space on the map may have limited permitted access for pedestrians).Mark U.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04792726660751354015noreply@blogger.com
