When I click on the GPX button, I am sent to https://blog.gmap-pedometer.com/fix-to-gmaptogpx-bookmarklet/ which asks me for my username and password. It does not accept my username or password. Will purchasing the iPhone App allow me access to the GPX file creation feature? Thank you.

Hi! When I clck to export GPX, it wants me to login to blog.... etc. I am logged in, but my user/pw doesn't work for logging in after clicking export GPX. PW reset doesn't get me an email to reset, either.
Is there a new way to get a GPX file? I might just have to create the route directly in Strava instead of using a GPX?

Hi
I'm just toying around with cycling routes and trying to create a gpx file. However, when after saving a route I click the link for a gpx file, I get a login prompt which doesn't work. Any ideas how to successfully save a route as a gpx file I can transfer to a garmin device? Many thanks in advance.

Maps not showing on Chrome (iphone) :

I can get this site to work using Safari, but not Chrome. The site loads and the menu is functional. But the map doesn’t show. Thus this site becomes very unusable. Any ideas how to fix this?

Manhattan Bridge bike path glitch?:
2023-07-25 03:48:58
1816
I just plotted a route using the "automatically (for cyclists)" setting, from lower Manhattan into Brooklyn using the Manhattan Bridge. The app sent the route over the south path, which is now the pedestrian path, rather than the northern path, which is the bike path. (They are labeled as such on the map.) This is trivial, I acknowledge, but the access for the two paths is different, both at the Manhattan terminus and at the Brooklyn terminus, so that a novice could easily get lost trying to follow the map.
A couple of decades ago, the pedestrian and bike lanes were assigned opposite to what they are now, so I'm wondering if there is some small bit of information in the map's data base that needs to be updated to reflect this.
Thanks to whoever can deal with this!
Mapping bike trails?:
2023-07-24 00:37:20
1815
The previous Google gmaps program supported bicycle paths and running trails with the automatic mode. It also had them all. This tool is missing 80% of the bike paths and trails in my area and to map them you have to use manual mode. The entire idea is to stay off the roads! I can't use this in its current form. Where can I find the older version that supported what I need? Forget it. I found the old program - I know you won't post - This tool is pathetically lacking functionality.

First of all, thanks for your effort. This is an exceptional favour to all of us. As a runner, I find your website essential!
As a sailing man, I would like to be able to switch to nautical miles (1.852km). The straight lines are handy for drawing a course, but in our seas, miles are longer... ;-)
All the best

satellite view no longer exists?:

Satellite hasn't been working for about a year now. An awesome feature that I miss for sure!

I am unable to access blog.gmap-pedometer.com which also hinders extracting the GPX data. e.g: https://www.gmap-pedometer.com/gp/forum/topic/view/467/gmap-to-gpx
Please advise.

satellite view no longer exists?:
2023-05-08 23:05:52

Reviving this ancient thread as it seems that Satellite view is gone again? No errors or anything but if you select the Satellite layer it just shows the same layer as the Map layer. Is this a known issue?

Greetings friends. I'm trying to download or export a GPX file, but it prompts me to log into something called https://blog.gmap-pedometer.com/. I don't know what the blog site is or how to get into it. My Gmaps-pedometer login credentials don't seem to work and I can't see how to create a login. Any ideas?

Import GPX into Gmaps?:

i'd like to upload a route i made on GP pedometer (which is a great tool!) to a GPX file to use it on my garmin.But i get the message i have to login to the "blog.gmap". My login an password for GP doesnt work here and i can't see where to create another account?

I am unable to export to GPX and cannot even access the blog.gmap-pedometer.com site (username/password for main site do not work.) Help please.
Why is the Satellite and Hybrid options not working:
2023-02-16 15:31:17
1798
It has been like this for a few weeks now. Pretty annoying as the Hybrid function really helps when planning routes. Also, the function to amend an existing route by clicking on the route marker is not working either.
Satellite Not Working in Map:
2023-02-12 22:53:42
1797
Yes, neither is mine -- neither "Satellite", nor "Hybrid" give the view from a satellite perspective. I've had this happen several times before. Anyone know cause or how to fix/correct?
Satellite Not Working in Map:
2023-02-12 21:50:26
1796
I'm stuck on a Win7 machine while my newer machine is being repaired.
I tried adding satellite view to the map and nothing happens.
I am doing this with Mozilla SeaMonkey as the browser. It uses FireFox software but bundles a good email with the browser.
Any idea what I've done wrong?
Thanks

Import GPX into Gmaps?:

Is there a way to upload GPX as of the end of 2022? I found the GPX link which seems to take me to a "fix-to-gmaptogpx-bookmarklet" page but it pops up a basic authentication prompt which doesn't recognize my user name and password for this site.
Also, I'm confused why this would even be applicable here as searching for it via Google found something that converts *to* GPS and is not for uploading anything to this site.
Thanks!

any update available on this? when I click on the bookmarklet link it asks me to sign in but even when i'm inputting my credentials that I just used to login it gives me a blank login page again. i spent a couple hours drawing a detailed route and would reallllly (!) like to export the gpx. thanks so much for the cool site!

Yes, I've noticed the same. Was wondering if it was a problem with Chrome or something on my end - I guess I'm glad I'm not the only one. I use the satellite view more than anything - - - especially in hybrid.

The satellite and hybrid options stopped working about three weeks ago. At first I was able to access them by exiting the session, closing the browser and then retrying. They no longer appear regardless of I what I do. I have checked all settings on my PC (WIN 11) and browser (Firefox 105.0.3). I even tried it using Edge but same issue.

When you select one of these Map view options they do not change from the regular default Map view. This makes it impossible to track routs with straight lines with any real accuracy rendering the webpage useless.

mid-vectors no longer appearing in edit-mode:

In edit mode the mid-vector points used to add new mid-segment points are no longer appearing (at least in the browsers I'm using).
On a related note it would be nice to have a way to delete major-vector points. And a way to switch the draw mode (runner/cyclist/manual) of an intermediate segment.

when I insert and coordinates of the first point, on the map I cannot find the relative point because it is not visible. is this normal or I need to enable some function. it would be useful to be able to see the relative coordinates of the cursor or mouse position in order to position yourself precisely on the point of interest but even this function I cannot find or see it so I have to zoom in and click at random. it's normal ??? I'm wrong in something.

elevation gain and change:
2021-11-13 02:45:14
1755
Users in the USA should be aware that the elevation information may be based on a very old USGS map. If the area shows streets, they may be a layer added to the map but the elevation of the streets may not have ever been surveyed. I discovered one local area where I know there is an almost 25 ft drop and the map, Google Earth, and all report a 1 ft drop. That is a 25X error. I live in the Piedmont region of Virginia where elevation change is a significant part of an excerside route.
Let the user beware!

Elevation change not working:

Hi - love the site, which I've used for years. Lately, the elevation change hasn't worked at all - I just get a blank graph with no line on it. Up to about a year ago, it *mostly* worked - some of my saved routes have a believable elevation change figure, while some have '0ft', ie not correct. Would be nice to have that feature working again, though it's the distance measurement that's the thing I like to use the site for mostly.

so I guess the money issues referred to in the blog got too much. Such a shame! I've been using it since 2013.

Neither New Road (Hwy 17) Nor Old Road (now Business 17) Available For Routes:
2021-03-03 15:48:02
1735
A couple of years ago the state put in a four lane bypass around the town of Martin, Georgia. Now gmaps does not recognize either the new road or the old, so I can only plot routes by using straight lines, since it can't follow a road it doesn't seem to know is there. This is so frustrating, and makes gmaps unusable for me. I can fallback and do it in Garmin Routes, but I actually prefer gmaps, when it works. What can be done to correct this?

I didn't see a search option for the forums or a topic which looked close, so apologize in advance if this is a repeat.
I've been using gmap-pedometer for years on desktop with no problems. However I just can not figure out the web interface on my phone. I was trying to create a route like this one: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=7502507
I see the map and am able to long press on a likely starting point. This brings up the crosshairs png image with 3 lines in the upper right corner and checkmark in the lower right. But they don't do anything. If I long press, Chrome asks me if I want to save crosshairs.png. Tried double/triple tapping, no luck. The only other screen controls are an up/down arrow for zooming, and "undo/'save/controls" in the upper right above the map.
Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.
Ads taking up half of map:

I've only recently started using gmap and generally like it, but the advertisements have been quite obtrusive. Often there will be two ads scattered over the map and recently I am getting an ad that takes up half of the map and obscures most of the menu, making the site unusable. Is this something that can be fixed on the site-side or is it browser specific? I am using the latest version of Safari.

Hi, I have no problem with the banner adverts appearing on screen as I appreciate that you are generating income from them, but please can you limit the size of them? Today I'm presented with an advert for "1917" the movie which is taking up the entire bottom half of the screen. It's more than a use-ability issue, when I click on the elevation maps I can't see them at all as it's hidden behind the banner. I was hoping that screen refreshes and log-outs would eventually present a new advert but it still persists and means the site is not useable at all. Please can you limit their pixel width and height to ensure that your site still remains useable? Many thanks.

How often do you update the OSM background tiles? The area where I live is subject to new developments and I (and others) try to update OSM to reflect the changes. However, when I use Gmap to plot routes (to share with other runners), the background map is getting out of date. In one instance (https://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5188126, just after 3km) there is a new marina and a bridge, which do not show in OSM. Strangely, the Opencycle background (based on the same OSM data) is up to date. Please update OSM.

Routes page display new vs. old:
2019-09-21 19:47:27

I love using gmap to map my runs. I've been using it for several years and have a moderate number of routes saved.
I read through the topics and didn't see anything like this one. If there is a similar item please let me know and I will take a look.
Maybe it's just personal preference or status quo bias, but I liked the old 'table' style Routes page as opposed to the new style list of 'Route Objects'.
Could the feature be added where the user gets to select one style or the other? Maybe it's just a different css that gets applied or something.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks!

UK trunk roads not recognised:
2019-06-29 21:01:35
1684
When trying to trace out routes on UK roads I find that it usually doesn't work for major roads, the ones which the OpenCycle map shows in green. Trying to follow these roads using either automatically (for runners) or automatically (for cyclists) usually draws an alternate route via other routes, which can be several miles long, and occasionally it just won't draw a new point. To actually follow or cross these roads you have to use manually (straight lines).
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=7386540 has several examples - the crossings at 1 and 26.5 miles, the river crossing just before 29 miles, following the roads around 32, 36 and 37 miles, the road into Downham Market at 44 miles, most of the route from 46 to 51 miles, the main road sections of 60-63 miles, and the crossing at 70 miles.

2019-06-13 20:41:29
1680
I see that people were having the same problem in 2016 as I am having now. I have a friend who is having the same problem. I have created several maps and saved them. When we go back into "Routes" the name of the route and mileage shows but when we click on view/edit , there is no mileage and no route. We have been using this app for several years to maps routes for a training group. Why in the last two weeks is this not working? Other map programs are not as user friendly as this one.

I've been releasing fixes over the course of the laat two weeks to address bugs caused by an OS upgrade. This was probably a result of those bugs.
Unfortunately, I checked in the database, and it does seem that the route you created was lost. I'm sorry about that, but the bug should be fixed as of now.

As of this weekend, 6/9/19, maps are no longer being saved properly in gmaps pedometer. After clicking the "save" button and successfully reaching the save map page, copying/saving the link and then clicking on the link brings up the map without the route or mileage appearing. The area where the route was originally mapped appears without the blue line or mileage data.
After many years of flawless operation, the maps are no longer working properly. I have tried several browsers both at home and on the network at my workplace with the same dismal results.
Any assistance in solving this vexing problem would be appreciated.

Saved routes on large screens zooming to wrong place:
2019-06-05 15:32:25
1669
Whenever I open a saved route on my desktop, the display zooms into somewhere directly south of the route. However if I use a computer with a smaller screen, or reduce the size of the browser window, it correctly zooms into the route. This seems to be directly related to the height of the browser window - when it's full screen at 2560x1600 it zooms in to a point in northern Spain. As I reduce the window height it gets closer, until at around 1400 pixels high it correctly displays Cambridge in the UK. I've seen this with recent versions of Chrome and Firefox on both Linux and Windows.

"Broken" vectors:
2019-05-11 15:10:12
1666
With the change from the Google API to Open Street Maps (as detailed in the blog entry of 16 Oct.), some routes that used to be easily mappable using "as runner" or "as cyclist" now must be drawn manually. Where I used to be able to click along a multiuse trail, now the interface draws a line following nearby streets. In the case I'm specifically thinking of, the trail appears to "end" at the boundary of a USGS 7½-minute topo sheet. The specific location is at 40.000000, -86.136552 (per google maps). If you approach from the south, the executable follows the "Monon Greenway," but once you go north of the street (146th St.), you can no longer follow the trail. If you toggle the display to USGS Topo, you can see that you're at the "seam" between two different maps.
I've seen similar "breaks" in other places as well, but this is the only one I can point to at the moment. Is there any way to report this to the third party that maintains the database? IF yes, how?
Thanks. Love the site, BTW!
Napa River Trail No Longer "Map" Accessible:
2019-05-05 17:23:56
1665
Thanks in advance! The trail along the Napa river between Trancas and Lincoln had been map-able using this utility, but that stopped being the case some time ago. Now, instead of using the "for runners" mode and draw a course along the trail, the route creator avoids trail and maps ridiculous routes along the closest, though very implausible, streets. Can this be corrected? Attempting to use the straight-line mode on a curvy trail is problematic.

I've Gmap Pedometer for years and it always worked fine. But all of a sudden there is at least one street that when I try to mark the route between two spots, Gmap marks the road from the other direction. Even when I do closer together tagging, the minute I hit that road, instead of marking that next bit, it marks the entire rode from other side. I hope that makes sense.

Paul,
I create and/or send route codes to my athletes every week, for six months out of the year. Those using the Milermeter Tracker app have really begun to embrace it. Is there any way to get the mile markers to show up on the app? Without written clues, at first glance there's no way to tell which way to go on a loop route.

It's completely broken. Many thanks for many years of happy service, but the tool is useles now. Please just bury it or revert to the version a year ago. The 'automatic for runners' algoritmes no long know the roads. Not even the main roads. For example Hollis, NH - Depot&Richardson to Silverlake rd (rt 122) & Long Hill Rd. Classic case of form over function. Function was great, for some bizarre reason the form was deemed to be improved upon, and now the core functions are gone. That, and with the new, moving ads, there is no room for the map anymore. Bye bye and thanks for all the fish. Hein

Hi I just got a galaxcy S9 on Android 8 and though the webpage opens and I can place the cursor by taping the screen, it wont let me click the tick. It works on my Samsung Tablet running Android 5 but I don't take that out with me. Its the first time I've tried it on this phone. I've tried rebooting but that doesn't work. I wonder if I've disabled some cookies or something as I always turn off all the advertising ones etc but normally leave essensial ones. I can't see how to enable them if thats the case as it's just a webpage.
Hope you can help. Just tried it again on my galaxy tab and thats not working either anymore

Can't create routes on phone or tablet:

In the last few weeks, the ability to create routes stopped working on both my table (kindle fire) and phone (chrome on Android). Both worked for years prior.
On the tablet, I'll be making a route and after five or six points, the map crashes and I lose everything.
On the phone, I can't click to add a point to a new or saved route.
I tried clearing the cache on the phone to no avail and also tried on a second phone. Same problem.

I have always used this site to plot my running routes but since the recent changes it simply doesn't work. Nobody else on here is reporting the issue so I assume I can fix it in my browser or something so help?? I start a route, I click to start and the green icon comes up, I then double click somewhere else and the route plots itself via a bizarre round about away! This happens even if I start a route and click the next point 100 metres straight along the same road! http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=7318661 Is a route that the site created when I clicked on a straight route along a main road from Start to End. Any ideas?

How can this be overcome? I can understand not permitting a route on a motorway but a few hundred metres on main roads is not for me the end of the world. If anyone can advise I'd be really grateful.

How To Re-open Saved Routes?:

What is the deal with this site? It's horrible and full of bugs and ads. Someone shared a route with me and I need the GPX data. I couldn't even open Chrome. Finally go it to open in Firefox. But I need to save the route, so a copy was added to my account. I went to view/edit the route and get nothing...like the route doesn't even exist. I'm not sure what the deal is, but so far its completely useless.
How do I change the default location?:

Hm, so this doesn't appear to be working for me. I do have an old default location set, but when I follow the settings link, it shows "none", although any new/blank map always starts at my old default location, and if I use the "start from default" option, it will (correctly) route from that old location. I've hit "clear" with no effect. Further, when I enter the new default location (my new address) and then click "go", nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for everything Paul!

If I click anywhere it switches back to 'map'. I cannot not create accurate routes in this form. I direct road races and all my 60+ courses are from g=map. what caused this change? can I get it to switch to satellite and stay there?

Unable to Edit Routes:

Hi Paul,
Having welcomed the return of the track edit function, I regret that I have hit couple of issues.
1. No facility to add points. When modifying a track, I cannot manage to add a new point between two existing points. (Perhaps you are still working on this?)
2. Satellite background. The satellite background is far less clear than it used to be in my area (Milton Keynes, UK) making it very difficult to identify tracks and footpaths. Also, when I zoom in or out, or drag the whole background across the screen, it reverts to the Map background and I have to re-select the Satellite background.
I am sorry to moan, but I just miss the facilities that I used to have.
Please keep up the good work.
Edit 2018-10-16:
Thanks for the work on the Satellite background, Paul. It is now a much clearer image in my area and I can zoom and drag it without it reverting to a map (although it seems that there is a map beneath it and the Satellite tiles are then re-painted after a drag, or a zoom. I hope that's the correct terminology! - and I assume that is the expected behaviour).

'automatic' runner and cyclist routes no longer follow the Central Park bridle path :
2018-10-11 08:52:56
1629
The Bridle Path is a popular running trail in Central Park, NYC. Within the past month or two, the Milermeter no longer seems to recognize points along the path when using the 'automatic' setting for runners and cyclists. Instead, clicking on the Bridle Path to mark a route causes the location to jump to a nearby walking path or road.
Could the Bridle Path be restored so that running routes along it can be created without creating laborious tangent and chordal lines? Thanks!

Hi, fantastic site, been using for years. I am seeing a recent persistent problem the last few weeks using Chrome, Safari, or Explorer, on Apple and PC computers. Outlines of houses are no longer shown in map view or any view other than satellite or satellite hybrid. In satellite hybrid view, no longer able to switch to an angled perspective view instead of direct overhead. And when I try to create a route in that view, as soon as I click to add a point to a route the view switches back to the map view. I am surprised no one else has commented, as I think it must be a problem observed by all, since i am having the same problem on multiple platforms. Thanks again for the (almost always) incredible site!

A month since I posted this. No approval for my posts, no response from Paul, no ability to see anything anybody else is posting. Still can't go down my usual rail trails without doing it manually, which takes an inordinate amount of time to get it right. I find this so frustrating because I liked the site so much, not because I'm trying to be a pain. What is going on?? I just wanted some acknowledgement. Weird way to run an interactive site.

Hi, used to use this site a lot to map runs (never normally log in though). In all fairness I haven't used this site for some time, but since when are the maps not google?
It used to automatically zoom into my current location and I could search for a city outside the US. E.g typing in Tokyo, Japan finds a road in the US and even typing a city name in English in the UK e.g Glasgow, UK it will search the US for a road called Glasgow. Seems more of a downgrade?

Hi Paul,
Many thanks for fixing the track editing. Just in time for me to re-plan a few routes after someone drove a loaded water truck over a footbridge. Not surprisingly, that bridge is going to be out of action for some time!
Hey, I notice that the editing is so much more responsive now :-) That's a great improvement to a tool that was already extremely useful.
Thanks again for a wonderful mapping tool!

I have used this site for years and I don't understand why it isn't working anymore. Zipcode search doesn't work at all. I'm so disappointed that I'm now forced to use MapMyRun.

Why the switch to OSM? The route finding on OSM is terrible when it comes to bike paths... many paths that appear on the map are not actually connected. Please go back to Google Maps, that is far superior.

The site has gone from the only one I use for mapping routes to completely useless zero out of ten! Trying to map a route down what is basically a single main road and a very well used running route (the Portway in Bristol UK) and the idiot website keep jumping off the road to some probably non existent woodland paths, heading off in all kinds of directions. Even if I try to get past a glitch by mapping a straight line, when I go back to plotting automatically it panics and tries to find another fictional sideways footpath to fix onto instead of returning to the main road that the last point is directly on. Useless. Also, when I searched for Shirehampton I got some residential street in Godknowswhere USA instead of an actual town in the UK. Adding 'UK' didn't help and trying Bristol UK also failed to get out of rural USA. Again completely useless. Can anyone recommend even a mediocre alternative to this waste of space??

Since the most recent update this program can no longer find addresses in Canada, even when I type in the city, province, and country. It keeps sending me to the United States or Australia. I have to manually locate my address on the map to start my route.
Street View:
2018-09-27 22:35:48

What happened to the street view icon? It seems to have disappeared since the last update. That feature was very helpful, especially for things like trying to figure out if a road has sidewalks or if a trail is paved.

Bizarre routing - appears to be an error in the map:

1601
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=7304013 is a route made by clicking only on the start and end points that are shown. The routing seems not to know about the direct route along Otley Road, and instead sends me via Farrar Lane, Holt Lane, quick there-and-back onto Chestnut Drive and then via Kingsley Avenue to the end point.
It looks as if there is something which will not allow any route along part of Otley Road.
Paths not working with OpenStreetMap 2018:
2018-09-24 12:22:27
1600
The weekend switch to OpenStreetMap has made the site look nicer, and I certainly appreciate getting out from under the thumb of Google. It's made paths inaccessible, though. I'm in Sacramento CA, and (for instance) the American River Bike Trail next to Sacramento State University doesn't work. I do a lot of running on trails; can you please investigate?

Hi All, I have never used a bookmarklet to access the site, only an http bookmark, and I've been a registered user for years. This week, the map doesn't load via gmap-pedometer.com. My routes are there, but when I hit the "view/edit" link, the map doesn't display. I can't create new routes without the map. I have tried logging out/in, and different browsers (Chrome/Firefox, MacOS), but the map is MIA. What's the hack?
Thanks in advance for your help- Chris
UK postcodes broken:
2018-09-21 21:02:44
1597
This site is a bit broken now - the UK postcode function is not working, also does not appear to allow proper routes for runners - will not use "dotted line" routes such as footpaths. Shame because this was my all time fave site for walk plotting - pleaee fix Mr nice man
Where's Canada?:
2018-09-21 19:57:54

How come I can only find places in the US all of the sudden? I am looking for North Vancouver and I've tried North Vancouver; North Vancouver, Canada; North Vancouver, BC. I've also tried other local place names and no luck. Thoughts?

They're not working again. Looks like the map has totally changed, away from google maps and into OpenStreetMap. I'm in Sacramento, trying to use the American River Bike Trail.
Search no longer works outside the USA:
2018-09-21 04:16:58
1594
In the past, when searching for a location to start a route, I've been able to use e.g. the city name or my UK postcode, presumably because Google Maps is used to finding them. I'm 100% behind the change to not-Google-Maps, but now searching for locations doesn't work outside the USA - if I search for London I get somewhere in the Virginia; Edinburgh gets me Indiana; etc. If I type in a name that isn't found in the States at all, or a foreign postcode, no error is displayed, but the search cursor blinks as though the seach wasn't initiated. The only way to get to locations outside the USA now is to laboriously recenter and zoom the map when starting from the global view.
Any chance to somehow fix this? I know OSM supports search outside the USA, but the lack of it here is a real bummer since it used to work so well. (the site is also a lot slower to load locations and maps now, which is irksome but not much to be done I suspect)
What happened to streetview?:

Unable to Edit Routes:

1591
Hi Paul, Many thanks for the prompt response (and helpful) response.
Whilst you are fixing this, is there any chance that you could include an ability to delete a point on a route (and link points either side to each other)? Previously, if I shortened a route by removing a loop, I ended up with many points close to one another, which were not needed. The editor in Open Street Map has this functionality, but I have no idea how comparable the tools are.
Unable to Edit Routes:
2018-09-19 17:01:00
1590
Yes, you're correct, this feature is currently not working. In the course of the recent changes there wasn't time to update this feature and I had to temporarily disable it to prevent errors.
But I promise it will be coming back! I'm sorry to say it may take a week or two, but it [i]will[/i] happen. I'll update this thread once I've made the change to resolve this.
Unable to Edit Routes:
2018-09-19 14:48:21
1589
I am currently unable to edit my saved routes, other than by deleting the last point (repeatedly, if necessary) and re-plotting from there. Having opened the route via the Routes list, selecting "View/Edit", my cursor is a cross-hair. Previously, this would change to a hand, when directly above a point on the route and clicking would put the route into edit mode, allowing points to be moved. Now, the cursor stays as a cross-hair and clicking has no effect.
Routes Saved with OSM Background Do Not Open Correctly :

Hi Paul, I'm delighted to say that routes saved with OSM background now open Fine for me. Tested with Chrome, Firefox and Edge browsers.

Maps are now at least 5 years old and INACCURATE!:
2018-09-18 20:31:37
1586
In the past couple days, something has changed here, because the maps no longer look the same, and when I drill down to details, I can see that things are missing that used to be there. In addition, I mapped a bike ride and got 15.0 miles, but when I clocked it with the odometer (I knew it couldn't be right), it was over 18 miles! What is going on!?!?!
Routes Saved with OSM Background Do Not Open Correctly :
2018-09-18 11:34:58
1584
I like OSM as the background for my routes and have several saved like this. That used to work fine, but now when I try to open these routes (either from Menu>Routes, or from a saved URL), I see a map of the world with no routes plotted. Changing to satellite background gets me to a point on my chosen route, but I have to zoom out to see the whole route. I can then re-select OSM as the background and all is fine. If I save a route with "Map" as the background, it saves and opens OK. This happens the same using Chrome, Firefox, or Edge as my browser.
creating multiple routes - same ID:
2018-09-18 11:14:58
1583
It seems that, the first time that you amend a route and "Save" it, you are offered the choice of "Save Changes" (i.e. modify the current route), or "Save a Copy" (i.e. create a new route). On the second or subsequent time that you press Save, it assumes that you want to Save Changes. To get round this, I always open a route, make a very small change (e.g. the title) and then Save Changes. I come out, select Routes from the menu and my "new" route will be top of the list as most recently created. Then I clear all points and start plotting and Saving Changes. Not ideal, but not as annoying as losing your original route.

NYC area route mapping:
2018-09-17 11:51:53
1579
I have used GMAPs / milermeter for at least 10 years or more. I have noticed in the past few months that it is not working as well with recreational paths around NYC including the paths in Central Park. The best way I can describe it is "glitchy." When drawing a route using the "automatic for runners / cyclists," often it seems to get confused and force a route off of the main roadways in Central Park. On the West Side Greenway (a multi-use pedestrian / cycling path) the automatic feature will cause you to swim across the Hudson and jog around Jersey City for a while before catching a ferry back to the West Side of Manhattan. NEVER had these problems before. You kind of have to use the "draw straight lines" option to do running/cycling routes around NYC and this was not the case before.

The only way to alter the data of a map is if you have associated it with your account, and you are logged in with that account while viewing it.
Although it is possible for a different user to alter the map [i]as it is presented in their browser[/i] when they load it, those changes will never be saved back out to your original map. If the user clicks "save" after making changes to your map, they will in fact be saving a copy of your map with their changes. Your map is safe from alteration!

Is it possible to 'lock' the route so that that url can be distributed but no-one can amend it?
The route concerned is the 77.8 mile [i]Capital Ring[/i] around London UK. Very many thousands use this footpath but there is no mapping whatsoever that shows mileage. I'd now like to share the mileages but the map will become useless if altered.

A very similar route, https://gmap-pedometer.com/?r=7112376 apparently has an Elevation Gain of 3056m in a length of 7.36km, giving an average gradient of 1 in 2.4, or 22.6 degrees!
Other nearby routes, however, have more plausible stats:
https://gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6944686 has an Elevation Gain of 62.98m, which I can probably believe.
I can't work out what I am doing in plotting some routes, that leads to this anomalous behaviour.
Edit: still awaiting response, please.
Import GPX into Gmaps?:

thanks in advance.
Creating straight line with crl, alt or shift?:
2017-08-18 06:02:32
1519
I would propose to be able to change the routing to "manually, (straight lines)" just for the current mouse click by holding shift, ctrl, or the alt key. By this planning for these points would get much smoother w/o changing the dropdown back and forth.
Thanks for considering!
Martin
PS: If there is already a way to achieve this, please let me know, I haven't found it
PPS: It is a great tool and I use is a lot to plan new running routes, thanks for creating!
Phone App:

2017-08-07 04:41:21
1514
Been a user for some time and this site is great, but it was greater. Now when I create a route I find that the auto runners setting doesn't pick up on the paths each time. Sometimes it doesn't add the increment to the route, sometimes it does, sometimes it has but doesn't look like it has on screen and what is actually done is create a loop. Then when I undo last step it takes a load more clicks to undo than it did to create. Even on straight lines it plays up. I've tried zooming in/out but it doesn't make any difference.
The routes I'm creating are on public footpaths in the UK. The system has worked on most footpaths as identified on Ordnance Survey maps in the past- in this area but wasn't going to today.
Any suggestions as to the problem would be helpful.
Off this topic- I have tried many times to change the email address I used when creating an account years ago but I've never had a confirmation response or a reply of any kind.

Elevation Data:
2017-07-22 00:41:23
1511
The total elevation gain "works" only as well as the input data that the site receives. I've plotted several hikes that I'm very familiar with and the elevation, even on a what are basically a flat sections of trails, seems to spike up and down within +/- 50'. Although this difference in elevation is not actually present, the site adds it into its calculations and gives you a very bloated number. I'm routinely getting routes with 2 and 3 times what would be a reasonable expectation for the total elevation gained. Oh, well. As the programming adage goes: Garbage in, Garbage out. :) The site is great, otherwise. I've been using it for over a decade at this point. Thanks!
Map corrections:

Everything since 5,000,000 seems to be working fine - both those saved to my account, and those from before that was possible. I've tried this on two different computers and a phone, and get exactly the same behaviour. Is this a known problem? Is there any way to get the old routes back?

Elevation data differences in miles and in km:

If I create a new route and then I display the elevation data while the miles units are used it's a good graph, but if I switch to km then the vertical scale of the elevation changes too and the graph is more flat and less useful.
Using gMapToGPX to Save a Route to GPX:
2017-04-16 18:50:09
1502
I am having problems using the gMapToGPX utility to save a route. I followed the instructions, and installed it into my browser (FireFox). I believe that the installation was successful, because I can successfully create a GPX using the sample map provided in the gMapToGPX instructions. However, when I try to create a GPX from one of my saved routes nothing happens. In other words, selecting gMapToGPX does not do anything. If I then go back to the sample map (in a different browser tab) that continues to work fine. Does gMapToGPX still work, and if so does anyone have a guess about what I am doing wrong?

I'd rather not trace the route from scratch, is there some way to have the elevation data recalculate?

Circles on U-Turns:

When in map mode, if a u-turn is drawn, the map will show two lines in some places and a thicker line in others, in order to avoid confusion it would be very helpful to just have small circles or any indicator really at points where the route makes a 180 degree turn.
Thanks!
Feature request - hide "Description" column in the "Routes" listing:
2017-02-03 23:53:26
1492
An idea for a feature request. We are putting turn-by-turn instructions and other information for our routes into the description field. When we do that, the routes listing is pretty much unusable because the description is listed in full. So - a request to either truncate the description in routes list, or provide a checkbox "Hide Description" so that the routes listing works. Or even just hide the description in the listing.
For an example, we have a description in the route: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=7017656. With that description, the route line can't be seen on the routes listing.
Thanks! Awesome product!

Printing map:
2017-01-30 06:29:52

The print facility is kind of redundant without the ability to set a zoom level unfortunately. I think as PeterPan says, the only way round this is to use the print screen functionality and paste in multiple screen sections.
Its a real shame as its a great tool and whilst you can share a route with others, I find that its vital to be able to have that option of printing a physical copy (or even a PDF).

turn by turn directions:
2017-01-03 19:22:05
1487
I've experimented with this a bit myself. The short answer is, there's not really a great way to do it.
The problem is that the routes you create in gmap-pedometer don't necessarily line up with the course of roads created in the real world. When you get turn-by turn directions from a GPS app or device, that route you're traveling was accompanied by metadata about the names of roads, the places they intersect, the degrees of the intersections, and many other points.
Although some routes in the site have this sort of data as well, not all do. They way this site works, you may have one route that has some portions generated from google's routing, and some that were drawn by the user.
The experiment I tried was imoporting a route I'd created into a third-party app. Since the route went in without any of that metadata I mentioned, it was trying to literally provide turn by turn directions every time a road bent at all. When you create a route on a road that curves, it actually creates many many short straight lines. Now imagine getting directions to turn 2 degrees to the left every few feet. Didn't work great :(
I have had one idea that I find works on a bike. There are apps that let you superimpose a line from my site on a map. I set my phone up on a holder on my handlebars, and was able to make sure I was on course as I biked a route. I don't think that would be all that great for runners, but it worked ok on the bike. What do you think of that?

Yep. this new milermeter update from gmap-perdometer is truly a step backwards in usability. Please go back to the old gmap-perdometer. I've been using your site for about about 6 years and made hundreds of routes. It was the best, most simple and accurate. Now it is rendered almost unusable. Here's the thing - Map is missing many link routes that used to exist. Complete route not working. Lines are cut into heaps of parts so undo is not very good. MacOS Chrome. I'm in Australia - it appears similar problems to mine are a few years ago - maybe in USA. My problems started a few months ago when the site design changed. thx

For example, I run a few streets from my house to the park. Then run around the park. Then run back along the same streets to home. But I can't mark this route. When you attempt to do it, you cannot mark points on the 'blue' streets you ran on earlier. This feature used to work before the 'rebrand' but now the cursor just changes to a hand...
And the 'retrace to home' feature is no use here, I want to just have a section overlap with a previous section, not retrace the entire route back (if you see what I mean)

Hi Paul - I was reading comments to see if anyone else had the same problem I did and saw this last issue and decided to try that.
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6946939
Two issues:
> Retrace my route from where it is now (around 4 miles) only brought it to 5.x miles.
> Double clicking on a point sometimes adds mileage but doesn't move the "current location" cursor.
> Undo last point sometimes seems to undo the intermediate points instead of the ones I chose and subsequently takes many, many undo clicks to get back to where I wanted.
The latter two issues I've seen only since the redesign. I never used the "retrace" feature (and bug) until reading the above post.
Thanks for all your hard work.

Paul,
I found the new print behaviour today and have to say that I was rather disappointed not to be able to chose which map background to print behind my route, or the zoom level.
Am I missing something?
(I have resorted to using the Windows Snipping Tool to capture the view I want, saving the image, inserting that image into a Powerpoint and printing from there. It is the only way I have found (so far) to have real control over what I print.)
Apart from that moan, please keep up the good work on gmap.

Hi, I replied on the other post where entered this too... Let me make sure I'm understanding this correctly:

- Map route from A to B
- Continue mapping from B to C
- Hit "retrace to start".. route should now run A --> B --> C --> B --> A
- Undo points to erase last segment, route should now be A --> B --> C --> B
- Add points to new location D: A --> B --> C --> B -->D
[/list]
These are the steps I just tried and found I was able to complete. I'd be happy to take a look at the route where you're having the problem and see if I can figure anything out.

I think google does have a mechanism for contributing to the map, but as with many things when it comes to google the process is very opaque... your data goes in, and you'll never know what or when will come out.
This is the main reason milermeter also supports the OSM or OpenStreetMap layer. If you go to openstreetmap.org and edit the map there, you'll see your changes appear on this site in a few days.
For new paths like you want to add, your best bet is to use a GPS device to walk/run/cycle the path, then upload the tracks to openstreetmap following the instructions at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Upload_GPS_tracks.

Sorry for the delay! Was busy with some bugfixes (and a vacation!)
The short answer is yes, with the way printing works now, the image automatically zooms out to show the entire route. I try to find the site behavior that is most useful for the largest number of people, but I can understand that this change isn't really what you were looking for.
I'll think of a way to make sure that the user has the choice of a zoomed-out or zoomed-in list. It's on the to-do list, I'll keep you posted!

I can't guarantee that this site will produce the same results as google maps routing. Although all the data used here comes from their services, they may be on slightly different versions or drawing from different datasets and I wouldn't be able to tell.
In the case of those two particular points, I found I was able to route between them if I switched to "automatically (for cyclists)". This suggests to me that Google feels this is a non-pedestrian road, and that's why it was taking the long way around. There's a road near me where it does the same thing (even though there's a sidewalk... their data isn't perfect.)
Hope this helps, and sorry for the slow reply!

Hi Paul. Seems I'm experiencing this same issue. The map options are hidden behind the controls area in the upper left area of the screen. Is there something I can do to move one or the other? This occurs in both Chrome and IE11 browsers on my computer.

Some new concrete running/bike paths have been built in a large new park in my area. I would like to be able to plan my run routes to include the trails in the park because there is water fountains there. The satellite view does not show all the trails yet.I have GPX tracks of the trails. I thought there is a way to contribute to Google maps. Can you tell me how to submit my tracks so they will be added to the map?

The new print function seems to auto-scale without enough resolution for me to see street names and I don't see a way to adjust the formatting. Am I stuck with the default printing size for my routes?
Thanks

Can you please explain thinking behind the changes to the site. It was perfectly functional before. You haven't added any obvious functions, but you have managed to make the tasks we have learned to do more obscure. The presentation before was clean and simple; everything seems ragged now. We use Firefox, and it's up to date, so we assume there are compatibility issues. On an Ipad the presentation is even worse.

With the new layout of the site I can't find where to change my default starting location. I've recently moved so the old one is no where near where I tend to start my runs anymore. I'm sure it's obvious and I'm just missing it (I do that), but if anyone could help that would be great.

Thanks for the explanation.
It seems that "Mobile View" may kick in when the screen is [b]exactly[/b] 1280px wide, rather than when it is [b]less than[/b] 1280px.
I can happily accept that my small netbook (1024 x 600px) should go into Mobile View - it is fairly mobile and the screen is too small (IMHO) to use for mapping anyway.
However, my desktop (Dell 19" monitor 1280 x 1024px) is hardly mobile.
The column layout for Bookmarks has always worked very well at this resolution and I find it much easier to scroll up and down the list in columns than to deal with the boxes in Mobile View; also, I much prefer the horizontal menu.
Any chance of changing Mobile View to kick in only at 1024px wide (or less) - please?

The view where the route information stretches across the screen is the mobile view. It kicks in when the screen is found to be narrower than 1280px wide. If you stretch the window to be wider than 1280 px, you'll get the larger view
Also note, the routes are grouped in sets of four, but all the same routes are still there, you just have to scroll down.

I too have noticed a change in the way that saved routes are listed.
On my laptop (Win 8.1) they display as previously (a table with one line per route, lots of routes per page)
However, on my desktop (Win 7 Home Premium, SP1) and on a netbook (Win 10, Home 1511), I see each route in a box across the page, only about 4 routes per page.
I get the same results with Chrome (51.0.2704), Firefox (47.0), or IE (11.0.9600.18349) on all 3 machines, so it does not seem to be related to the browser. I have screenshots, but cannot see how to upload or attach them here.

Using Manual Drawing, I have a lot of Super-vectors on each route. When I then drag Middle-vectors to change the route, it creates additional Super-vectors. After a few changes, this can leave me with loads more Super-vectors than I need. Is there any way to eliminate a Super-vector and join those before and after it with a straight line (with a Middle-vector in the middle)?

Hi gfkessler,
You might want to try the various options under "Draw Route".
"Automatically (for runners)" will only plot on known roads and paths and will follow those roads and paths between plotted points.
"Automatically (for cyclists)" will only plot on known roads.
"Manually (straight lines)" will plot anywhere you want and insert straight lines between the plotted points.
I hope that helps.

Reverse Button:

I frequently create routes where I know the destination, but not the start. For example, say a route ends at the G******** restaurant, and I want it to be 10 km. and I want it to start at an easily accessible place, but don't really know where that might be. So what I do is, I create the route starting from the destination, and tell everybody that we are going to walk the route, but backwards. Of course, somebody always worries that they might get a sore neck, or get hit by a car... and sometimes somebody goes to the end point, instead of the start. A reverse button would avoid all that.

Nothing has been changed related to the number of routes displayed on the bookmarks page. It seems there is some other type of problem going on. What browser/OS are you using?
Could you check whether there is a value in the "Filter" box that the browser is remembering? If the filter narrowed the list to six of your routes, it could produce the issue you're seeing.

In fact, the "retrace route" button was always there, but it had a more awkward label: "create there and back route".
Anyway, I gather this isn't quite what you're looking for. Just so I understand it fully, what what you use a "reverse" route button for? The distance stays the same, so I've always thought this might not be that important a feature. I'm curious how you would like to use it.

Hi, has the ability to hide the toolbox been removed from the new version of the site? I like to maximize the screen for making screenshots of parts of my routes, areas that I, for example, want to zoom in on. Or has this function been hidden for the sake of appearance? I have resorted to using a Firefox Add-on to remove it, and then undoing the remove later, but it is a cumbersome procedure, and much less convenient than simply using the Hide button that your previous version had. Thanks.

You ALMOST got it right, when you created a "Retrace Route" button. How about a button where, after you have created a route, you could swap the start and end points? Anyway, thanks for your hard work. Can't be easy with all the requests you get hit with!

Great idea, and good news, the site has it! I guess your question means that it's a bit hidden so I'll work on improving that.
Anyway, click anywhere on the blue line when you've created your course, and you'll see a sequence of dots appear along the line. The big dots are points you set in the map, the little ones are points the routing algorithms automatically added. There should be a big dot at your starting line -- just drag that to the spot you want to move the starting line to! Note that the line doesn't refresh until after you place the big dot.
Give it a try and let me know if this works for you!

Depending on what you're looking for, this site might have it. If you visit gmap-pedometer.com on your phone, it does have a mobile optimized experience. Not all of the layers are available due to mobile device limitation, but it does still follow roads.
And if you prefer a native interface, there's also an app version I wrote: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/milermeter/id591504913?mt=8

I LOVE this site! The road-following is *amazing* and the different layers are a fantastic touch too. Especially the OSM ones. And it's so fast to slide the map around. Much faster than my stand alone GPS unit. Does anyone have any recommendations for something that works as well as Milermeter here, but is an offline & portable? I like the idea of some Arduino/Raspberry Pi powered homemade Linux palm-top computer, but shelling out some real bucks for a commercial product would work too.

Kilometre markers coming up short:
2016-03-28 20:21:49
1381
I've just mapped a few routes that I have previously mapped on previous mapping programs and found discrepancies in gmaps with the kilometre markers. Using one route as an example, for all but the final (5K) point the km markers are in similar spots (close enough for user error to account for any differences), but then gmaps has the final 5K marker 3 city blocks earlier than the other program even though they both show the same final distance start to finish. 3 city blocks is much farther than 0.07 km. It's not the first time that the distance between the last kilometre marker, and the end point seemed implausible. Both programs appear to use Google maps as the base and the routes are in the centre of a large Canadian city. Is there any reason for this?

Paul, I have this problem as well, but it only occurs using Firefox browser (have had this since December 2015). Chrome seems to be working fine, so I've been using that. I did open IE (IE11, with OS Windows 8.1), which I NEVER use anymore, and that browser seems to open the site OK. I'll continue to use Chrome, but I had preferred Firefox. Now, this failure coincided with problems with out-of-date Java and (apparently unsuccessful) reloading... which STILL doesn't work. I don't need any support, just curious, wanted to report, and see if the Java issue might be relevant.
BTW, thank you so much for this site. I know it's more a hobby and not your main job, so we runners/ cyclists/ etc., owe you a big debt of gratitude. I've been using it for many many years and appreciate its availability.
Issue with underpass not being mappable (Reading, Berks):

Alternatively, it appears "automatically (for cyclists)" works through this runner discontinuity. As I previously stated, using "manually (straight line)" is a quick, easy, acceptable, and often more accurate way to get through problem areas.
Helpful hint when requesting assistance with specific location:
2016-02-24 11:45:20
1375
I recently looked at a thread here requesting help, and it took a little work to figure out/zoom in to the area requested. If you have an issue with a specific location, I recommend creating a single-point record ("save route" after "Start Recording" and clicking on start point) in order for one to immediately zoom in to affected area. For example, wilariwgmap recently asked about a problem with an underpass and discontinuity, in Reading, Berkshire UK. A single-point record of the actual discontinuity ( http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6806475 is what I created) would go a long way for helping out "Support Personnel" (e.g., nosy people like me with too much time on my hands).
Issue with underpass not being mappable (Reading, Berks):
2016-02-24 11:19:44

wilariwgmap, it looks as if the program gets confused with all the roundabouts and multilane roads. It also appears that the program defaults to the left side of the road for "automatically (for runners)", which would be facing traffic here in USA. (May I presume runners also should FACE traffic in UK?) Your discontinuity seems to be just south of the path underneath the railroad. What I have done with discontinuities, is to use the "manually (straight lines)" function to fill in, until I return to a reasonable road route. You can (or should be able to) go happily back and forth between the two methods with reckless, but accurate, abandon, and thus have a single continuous route. Good luck!

I'd like to bring this back up, as I've found a new thing.
Mt. Desert Island, Maine. Park Ridge Loop and Cadillac Mountain. No matter how hard you try, no matter which option you pick (runners or cyclists), it absolutely will not let you construct a route on the road - you have to use "manually (straight lines)" to get a road route. When you try to place a point, it automatically snaps to a nearby trail, unless there is no trail close enough to snap to, in which case, as I recall, it just refuses to do anything as if you'd tried to route onto a freeway. This despite videos on YouTube showing bicyclists using these roads free of penalty.
Issue with underpass not being mappable (Reading, Berks):
2016-01-21 10:17:38
1337
There's a continuous pavement from Thames Valley Park Drive past the roundabout (near Wokingham Waterside Centre) which continues past the A3290 and down the way to London Road. However, gmap won't let me map anything through the underpass which goes under the railway just after the roundabout. This is in Reading (Berkshire, UK). How does one get errors in gmap corrected? At the moment I'm having to approximate that bit and do two separate route calculations to get my full run distance so it'd be great if that could be corrected please.
Thanks! :)

Hi, first-time poster, old-time user :)
Way back in the last century, I found this site and started to map the route of a six-week bike tour I had done. I saved it, and exported it, and I came across it recently as an .asr file. So I created an account today, but I don't see any option to load that route so I can continue working on it. Is there any way to do that, or has the site changed so much that that's no longer an option? I have some of the day routes that I created, so I know the trick to opening those, but I think I was about half-way done and would like to finish it without having to re-create a bunch of stuff. Thanks!
Main Routes No Longer Main:

Hi Paul -
For about a month some of the drives in Central Park that used to show as major roads (white, thick) are now showing on the map as minor roads (gray, thin). This is from north of the 72nd street transverse except for a small portion way up north where the East Drive meets Malcolm X Blvd. Taking mileage readings on the these routes still work, it's just now tougher to pick them out for mapping.
Is this something that comes from the site/your code, or did Google make some changes in how they identify routes? And if the latter, is there a way to still recognize these roads as major?
Note they work in the other map views (OSM, etc.).
I'm happy to post a couple pictures if you'd like to see it better.
Thank you for any help.

I'm guessing most people don't. I'm just OCD like that. Still, being able to keep one-way rules active might be useful in some situations. Especially if a track somehow finds its way into a video game (one can dream right?), having a road run in the normal direction will ensure instant familiarity for players who live in that area in real life.

I've seen the occasional incoming link from racing message boards, so I had heard of this happening. I love seeing people use things in ways I never expected. It might not be too hard to make a version of the site that caters to carheads.
Do most people who make these racetracks stick with one-way rules? I'd think if we're designing a sort of fantasy grand prix most people would assume streets would be closed. I like your way better, it's easier since the directions lookups always adhere to one-way rules.

To everyone still having the problem, please try force-reloading your browser. This means holding down shift and control while clicking your browser's reload button. (Really, different browsers use shift OR reload, but holding down both should cover all the bases)
This will clear out cached versions of the javascript file, which should clear up this problem.

YES Swilly, I am having the same issue. Until very recently, one has been able to seamlessly switch between G-maps view to satellite,or USGS topo (current) or USGS (oldskool), or GSM. So what happened? The only view that is enabled for new maps is G-maps. A map that I recently created and viewed in USGS topo is now stuck in that mode. I am guessing that some kind of change was made to the site which has--perhaps unintentionally--removed the buttons controlling the view.
Can you help us out here? I love g-maps pedometer and have contributed to support its development.

I'm not a runner. I'm not a bicyclist. I think riding a bicycle on a public road is antisocial, even if it is legal.
What I am is a carhead, and that should give you some idea what I'm about to say.
Years ago, I found a thread on another forum encouraging people to design a racetrack. It wasn't long before someone figured out that your service could be used to map out a racetrack on city streets or open roads.
I don't remember why people didn't just use Google Maps for that. As I recall, there might have been difficulties getting the route to come out right, or saving routes without an account (the latter still persists).
Now you've gone from a pedometer to a "milermeter", and I'm still making auto race routes for trolls 'n' lols. And there are still some difficulties that persist. For most route ideas, the combination of "runners" and "cyclists" options, with a little bit of manual drawing, is sufficient. But, not always. For example, whoever mapped the city of Osaka, Japan was very conscientious about mapping every pedestrian walkway whatever, and in the process made it impossible to make a route on the streets without exclusive use of the "Manually (straight lines)" option. A lot of highways (especially the toll expressways of Japan) are verboten as well. As far as I know, Google Maps still has no way to save large numbers of routes without an account and have them public by default. I also no of no service similar to this, but for mapping drives instead of routes, with that option.
When desiging these tracks, my OCD also does not like to cut against traffic, even if the roads in use would be closed down to race on.
So, my suggestion is to branch out from your current workout-centric setup and implement an "automatically (for cars)" or "adhere to road" option.
Here is an example of one such track I mapped, long before getting this account.
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6511072
Elevation Data:
2015-09-04 16:32:17
1306
I am slightly confused about the elevation gain. On gmap I have done a route where the elevation gain is given as 247m. However, I've done the identical route using mapmyride, which uses my phone's GPS (and mobile signal) for data, and the elevation gain is given as 146m - a big difference over a short, 15km, ride. I'm not sure which is right.
How to create a route?:
2015-08-18 17:04:37
1305
I can't create, the route for use for cylclists, the map just moves with my cursor and no route is ever created.
Please help me.
Printing map:
2015-08-16 22:21:12
1304
Printing seems to be hit or miss. I've taken to a non-technical strategy: commit the route to memory. Its the only thing that consistently works for me.
Mile Marker in wrong location:
2015-08-01 17:48:08
1303
Have you gone back and re-created the route? I just did, saved as http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6676066 . I may have at one time experienced this, but can't recall. It's possible that, at the time you created the route, the program was (or got) corrupted and continued to save the course... and will reproduce as saved. Interestingly, changing to km from miles shows serious corruption as well. My recreation seems to show prpoer spacing of miles. BTW, I would have been more concerned with the 2-mile marker being so far away from the route. :-)
Why doesn't my GPS/pedometer match the map?:
2015-08-01 17:23:43
1302
For what it's worth, I've used gmap-pedometer to re-create USATF certified courses, zooming in to get tangents for Shortest Possible Route (SPF). In general, I've found Gmap to be quite accurate, even getting rather close to distance plus "short course prevention factor" of 0.1 percent. And I've always been close when checking with my (admittedly not perfect) various vehicles' odometers. Drkarlpt's "pretty fast clip" makes sense for his MapMyWalk distance and time taken, at approx. 15- minute-per-mile pace. I can't imagine Gmap was used for that particular walk. I've never had a distance issue in the more-than ten years I've been using the site. Drkarlpt, have you ever gone back and re-traced your route?
Elevation Change:

Route Navigation in Real Time:
2015-06-02 09:04:05
1296
An example of an awesome new feature:
You’re traveling. You don’t know the area. You want to go on a 5 mile run. At your hotel, you use your laptop to create a 5 mile route on gmap-pedometer. Before your run, you grab your phone, start google maps (navigator) app, select the route you created, put on your headphones... off you go on a hassle free run with turn-by-turn directions. No need to memorize the route. No need to pull out a map.
I’ve been searching for ways to do this for several years now. Just recently I was able to create a custom route on google maps (under My Maps, Create). It has turn-by-turn directions (that can be printed out...), but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to get the route into my phone’s google maps navigator. I don’t think we’ll get this feature from google anytime soon. If gmap pedometer can hack into google maps I think it would be great if a gmap nav app was created to load and play back these routes.
Tip: The best way to carry your phone on a run is with a FlipBelt. I got one for Christmas last year. If you use it to carry your phone in the middle of your back, waist high, you don’t even know it’s there.

Wow thank you - they are there now (saved twice!) and yes, sorting by date is really helpful. I tried to delete the first version of the one I saved twice but it's still there (better twice with separate URL's than not at all!)
Thank so much for your help - greatly improved site! By the way, to open a route is it correct to use "Edit", even if I'm not editing?
Thank you!

They're still there! We released changes last night to make the bookmarks page sortable and work better on mobile. Along the way we had the option to choose the default sort and we guessed people would want their most recent first. So your routes are still there, but at the top!
You can now sort by any data that appears on the list (id, distance, created or updated date, name, description, or elevation) or use the new filtering to view only a subset of routes. Try it out and let me know what you think!

I saved changes to an existing route as "Save a Copy" to create a new route. It gave me the new URL but it is not showing in my list of Bookmarked Routes. The new URL works when I copy and paste it into my browser but still isn't showing under Bookmarked however many times I refresh. Tried logging out and back in but still no joy. Never had this problem before - new routes and copies of existing under a new URL have always showed at the bottom of Bookmarked until now. Any ideas please?

Great feature request.
I have a list of more than 100 cycle routes. I thinks sometimes, it would be great if some can search the routes I has made in the used area, so that can inspire it for his own route, and I can compare and seen ideas what others have than. Sharing routes is only useful if others known or comes in the same area.

There is an aspect of the feature that may help you here. When you start to edit the route, you'll see two types of points. The larger points represent the points on the route you've selected. The smaller ones are the points drawn by routing algorithm. Dragging the smaller points moves each individual point, but dragging a larger point will move the entire route between the previous point you selected and the next one. Try dragging the larger points and hopefully you'll find it less laborious.

How To Re-open Saved Routes?:

I ended up here while trying to figure this out myself and then figured out that this works...
If you go to your bookmarked routes, one of the pieces of info listed for each route is an ID number. You can paste this: "http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=" (minus the quotation marks) into your browser. Then just copy-paste your route ID number of choice at the end (after the "r=") to view your route.

I have come back to using g-maps after a break but find that it no longer works as before in Firefox (v. 36.0.4). Specifically, no map appears on the map page making it impossible to draw routes. I notice that the font used on the site has also changed as well, but don't know if there is any link. All my previous route data is still there - It's the mapping page that's not working. The functionality seems to be OK in Chrome. Anyone got an explanation/ solution?

Exporting a route from Gmap-pedometer:
2015-03-11 07:14:54
1258
After spending hours of creating a long route at milermeter I was supposed to export the route as a gpx file. It was also not working for me with different browsers on my home machine. It was not working at all or 'NaN' showed up as latitude and longitude in the downloaded gpx file.
Finally it worked for me and I encourage you to use a configuration (approx.) similar to mine. Instead of a downloaded file I ended up with small UI in the page itself. I copied and pasted the gpx data into a file.
Okay, here are the versions of the components when I succeeded:
- Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit
- Google Chrome Version 40.0.2214.115 m
- GMapToGPX v6.4.11
Elevation Data:
2015-02-26 23:10:10
1257
I have noticed on a few routes that sometimes the elevation gain is the altitude of the end, sometimes it is the elevation gained from the start. 9 mile canyon starting from US395 to the top the elevation gained and elevation changed should be the same. Walker's Pass (CA178 from CA14) to the top shows slightly more elevation gained than the elevation changed which is correct as there is a few downhill sections.
Elevation Data:
2015-02-24 18:28:22

Sorry about the slow reply -- elevation change is is the sum of increase and decrease. So on a loop route elevation change should be 0. But elevation gain represents increase only.

Does the GMaptoGPX bookmarklet still work? It is still signalled from this site but, try as I might, I cannot get it to work (Jan 2015). Have tried it in Firefox, Chrome and IE, all without success. In FF, it opens the script, but the 'Full' tab mentioned is not present. Same in IE. In Chrome, it doesn't open at all. When using FF, if I copy all the script into Notepad and then save with a GPX extension, when I open it, it shows two points only, somewhere in the sea off Togo! If anyone is still using GmaptoGPX successfully, please advise. Or advise if it no longer works and if there is another way to export a route as a GPX or TCX file.

Update 11 Feb 2015:- I discovered that I was trying to use gmaptogpx v 6.4k. Have now found v 6.4.1.1 and this appears to work. Still some issues with elevation differences, but at least the basic routes now import. If having problems, check the version!!

Mile markers are not accurate, show up 100m or more behind the actual distance:
2015-01-08 13:36:31
1237
I've lately been noticing some weird things happening with mile markers. One day I mapped a route for a tempo run and took note of the mile markers (street intersections), then came back a few months later and the mile markers on the same route had changed.
Today, I looked closely as I incrementally mapped a route and noticed that the mile marker icons are showing up about 115m behind the actual distance of each mile. Any ideas why this is happening and if there is a more accurate way to use the system? I've been using this program for 8 years and hope it hasn't been malfunctioning the entire time! Obviously 115 meters will throw off mile splits significantly.

I had foot surgery to repair a break in July and just started serious walking again Dec. 15. I put my ankle braces back on and they do the trick. I also wear runner's compression socks when I walk, and, of course, good shoes. Hope you find a solution that works for you! Have you had gait training with a therapist?
walking for weight loss?:
2015-01-07 07:25:43
1235
I had not walked in many years due to back and knee injuries and surgeries. I finally started one year ago because our neighborhood has a running/walking group and set times to go. We work toward a group total mileage goal--last year (2014) we topped 7000 miles (yes, we walked/ran from Wisconsin, USA, to China!)
My first day out (Dec. 31, 2013), I managed to walk 2/3 mile and it took me 40 minutes! I walked for 6 months on a broken foot (they said it was soft tissue injury) then had surgery to fix the break. I actually lost 5 lbs while I was laid up, which I totally did not expect. I was off it for 4 months. Just started serious walking again Dec. 15, 2014. Now I am walking 2-3 miles at least 3x week and at least 1 mile the rest of the days, and I walk a 20 minute mile pace. I will never tun, but I know it is doing my heart good--both my BP and cholesterol are better, and the weight is coming off at a reasonable rate.
I also have used My Fitness Pal free app to help me become aware of food intake. I found after a month or two of using it religiously, I internalized what I was eating and didn't have to enter everything. If I start to slide, I go back to it. That was suggested by the Mayo Clinic.
I am also doing stretching, core strengthening, and light resistance training and have started some light weight training per my physical therapist. I am not trying to drop weight fast, just steadily and build my endurance. And, yes, we walk outside in the Wisconsin winter--I just got back and the windchill was minus 22F (minus 30C). We just layer on the clothing. I don't think I have as many cravings when I have been walking. Good luck to everyone struggling with physical injuries. but it is possible to get back out there--just go slowly and listen to your body! But, GO!

Having issues creating routes that aren't quite out and back:
2014-12-08 11:30:27
1224
It works for me, though I am also able to reproduce what you are seeing.
The solution for me is this: if you mouse over/near the route that's already there, the cursor will show either the pointing finger (exactly on the route) or the cross-hairs (just off the route). If you double click while it's the pointing finger, you get what you're seeing. If you move it fractionally until it's the cross-hairs, double clicking will continue to draw and measure the route. Hope that helps.

Hi
We use a lot of stored routes in our club running diary, to let members look where we'll be running on any particular day.
Recently we have found that clicking on the saved url on an ipad, phone etc, directs you to the mobile site but shows no route, zero distance and displays the map of the whole world.
Can you help us with a way to stop this happening? Or add a button to change to desktop site?
Thanks

Even better 'default starting location':
2014-12-03 16:40:38
1222
For users that are not logged in (or dont have a default location set up) it defaults to coordinates 37.06302,-95.677013 'the approximate center of the USA' which happens to be some random place in Kansas when you zoom enough.
The site could grab the client's ip and use a free geoip api to fetch their approximate coordinates, then center the map there by default.
For a while I was adding additional url parameters to center it right at my house and that worked fine for me since I don't always log in, but this could be a more robust solution for an anonymous user getting to their local area faster.
Paul- hit me up if you want the code. I thought of this when I was playing around with the google maps api so I already have it implemented, just a few lines of jquery.

It will take me some time, possibly as much as a couple of weeks, to create the option to switch to desktop. In the meantime, here are the instructions on how to use the site in mobile mode:
- Tap on the screen to bring up a crosshairs. Drag the upper right hand of the crosshairs icon to move it to the place where you'd like to drop a point.
- Then tap the checkmark to drop the point in that location.
- If want to dismiss the crosshairs without dropping a point, tap anywhere outside the crosshairs.
- All other controls: (map type, calculation type, units, and search box) are behind the "controls" button.

Option to share routes publicly, or keep private:
2014-10-29 07:02:12
1205
Hi,
Most of my routes are boring, but there are some i would like to share with the wider public, since i travel a lot i make some routes which could be used by other travellers, and vice-versa. Always fun to run in a new town when travelling.
The public maps would be shown in a featur, where "show publicly shared routes" can be switched on or off. When the featuer is on, from a certain zoom-in level, public routes will be shown.
Before saving a new route, the choice/option "share publicly, yes/no?" has to be made.
Would be nice to see were others have run, maybe in unexpected places.
Thanks,
a long time user.

I use Fire Fox and have no issue. You can create cycling route onto the trail by switching from auto cycling to manual cycling to connect from road/street to trail. Once your route is on the trail, switch back to auto cycling and it will follow the trail on the map.

Harbor Walk Boston needs debugging:

Hi. I looked at your route and it seems that you have selected Draw Route: Automatically (for runners). That means that points will snap to roads and footpaths known to Google Earth. I think that, if you use Draw Route: Manually (straight lines) you should be able to select any point on the map. This may mean that you have to enter a lot more points, but at least you will be in control.
Good luck.
milermeter mobile unusable on Note 3:

I would gladly pay for gmap. Just to give you a data point, however, milermeter mobile is unusable on my Samsung Note 3. The little cross-hairs icon rarely responds to a touch and often places a start point somewhere off the map. I can't log in to view saved routes and "it" won't allow me to view the full gmap website but always defaults to the mobile version.
Elevation Data:

Hoping for confirmation on a definition...does this (awesome) website truly calculate elevation gain, or does it add up total elevation gain and loss for the final "elevation gain" figure? By my (rough) calculation, it seems as if the calculation is total elevation gain AND loss. Clarification much appreciated. Thank you!

Schwalbe marathon plus - I have them on two bikes and have covered around 8000 miles on each - they are still going strong! They last and last and therefore in my opinion are the cheapest in the long run. I have other bikes with other tyres (smarter, faster, lighter) but from time to time they puncture and wear out quickly.
Chance to open-source the code?:
2014-09-15 16:47:57
1191
Hi,
I was using gmaps-pedometer a while ago in my first attempt to run. Quite a great app and still better today. I was asking myself if there is any chance that you publish the code under open-source:
- you seem sensible to this (Open Layers, speech on the Cathedral and the Bazaar),
- it will be a good way to keep the service up if for instance you do not wish to support it someday,
- plenty of other good (and some bad, yes, I have to admit) related to open-source.
By the way, it will also give me the possibility to submit a patch for a bug that I am facing: each time I set my weight in the workout log, once saved, it's set one kg less. It's always good to lose so easily some pounds, but it's not really fair.
In all cases, keep up the good work.

I knew I was tired after my last ride, but according to this site it's because I went all the way down to 107,506 feet below sea level and back up again...somehow that doesn't seem quite right.

walking for weight loss?:
2014-07-02 04:58:48
1176
Back to the comment by Paul (Feb 19 2012) above. Muscle tone is the key. Your weight is not and never has been a function of how many calories you eat or burn. Having good muscle tone will allow you to move more glycogen away from fat and into muscle and hence gain less/lose weight. The older you get the harder this becomes - old muscles are more resistant but weight/strength execrcises refresh and renew muscle to some extent. To really control your weight, understand how your body controls it and work with it. Reduce the glycemic load of the foods you eat - avoid carbohydrates. For a true science based understanding read Gary Taubes: Why We Get Fat And What To Do About It.

Same issue. This problem did not exist last year when I rode this same route: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4623155
Undo Last Point clears all markers:
2014-06-19 13:12:37
1174
Test Case
1. Start recording a route, using km's and manual lines
2. after add enough segments to see a few markers, click "Undo Last Point"
--> BUG: the markers ALL disappear, and the route (blue line) doesn't change
Marker Placements are way off:
2014-06-19 13:09:48
1173
I was creating a map and the marker placements were all over the map (so to speak!). Here's a screenshot of what I'm getting.
http://scoutstracker.ca/badmarkers.gif
Note that km markers 8 and 9 are almost adjacent, then markers 11-14 head off into the bush, but then marker 15 has snapped back to marker 11, and then there's a huge gap between markers 16 and 17.
You can see other weird sets of markers going on (e.g., 35-40 and 4-7).
I'd send you a link to the saved route, but that's not working these days (see another bug report I've made).
Saved Routes are not correct:
2014-06-19 12:57:04
1172
I created a 47 km route, and saved it, getting the following URL
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6343042
However, clicking on that URL shows only one marker, and a route length of 1.5 km. I tried saving as public, and to my account, and I tried sharing it with other folks who also only saw the 1.5 km route.
I created routes on Firefox and Chrome, with no difference in behaviour. The only commonality is that I'm using kilometers and using manual lines.

When I create a route everything seems to work fine, unless I am traveling on the same roads that I have been on before during that same route. Double-clicking then just pulls up a series of circles that highlight my whole route to that point. It does not continue to measure my route. If I am creating a route on new roads, there are no issues. This only seems to happen when I am creating a route that uses some of the same roads to come back on that I used to go out... I have experienced this issue on Windows (IE11, Chrome 35), Linux (Firefox 17) and Mac (Safari and Firefox - sorry I don't have the versions at my fingertips.) Help... Jim

The app doesn't allow you to name a route, right? I am also unable to use the auto (run), only manual works. Also no print option? I guess I should just stick with the web site...., but I do have a lot of unnamed routes on the app that I would prefer to upload to my web account, if that's possible.

It has to be your phone app. I've never been off that far either. In fact, I compare the Milemeter maps to my Garmin 320XT and we're both happy, as well as the thousands of runners I've prescribed my courses to. It has to be something within the phone app. I'd be curious to see how your results are at distances upwards of 12-15 miles. I wonder if they'd "clean up" more?

I know this is an old thread but I also second both ideas, but mostly the first. Separating different activities when tracking distance is essential if it's going to be a valuable tool for analysis- something for which it has great potential! Keep up the good work!
walking for weight loss?:
2014-04-03 17:38:05
1135
Adding a light weights workout on days you don't walk is a really good idea...or yoga or pilates for your flexibility... love this website since 2010... but haven't used it in a while... love trying to find good hilly walks... the elevation feature helps me save the successful ones!! I gained 10 lbs when I turned 40. Walking has helped me not gain more for 15 years!!!
Elevation Data:
2014-04-01 20:27:52
1134
My results with the elevation graphic are similar to wobots. The TE seems to be correct (close to the USGS data), but the EG is wrong. So far the routes I have tried have an EG that is always too large. Sometimes I notice that there appears to be a spike in the elevation graph where there was nothing on the trail. Does this get figured into the EG? Is the accuracy of the elevation data known? If so what is it? As far as I can tell the previous requests for a CVS excel file have gone unanswered. I would also be interested in having this capability.

Printing the Map:
2014-03-20 14:40:27
1129
For a lot of years now, I've been creating 2 ~ 3 routes of varying length, every week for our weekend training program.
I'd like to know if there's a trick I'm missing to actually print out my route. When I print, I only get a very small section of the entire page. I have learned to cut 'n' paste screen grabs instead, layout them up in Illustrator and cut them down to manageable sizes for the runner to carry.
I've recently started sending those who carry smartphones, QR codes linked to the map, that they can view on their phones.
Mapping Points Precision:
2014-03-20 14:36:05
1128
For a lot of years now, I've been creating 2 ~ 3 routes of varying length, every week for our weekend training program. That's a lot of clicking, deleting, re-routing and saving, as well as a lot of starts over. Although I do like (in concept) the new feature of being able to drag the route for changes, I find that the number of points is incredibly high. When plotting a route that does not draw automatically for runners, moving every single point on that route, is sometimes more time consuming than just starting over. I don't believe this is your intent for this feature. So, is there any way to "scale back" the resolution at which the intermediate points are plotted? Or, is there a way to grab more than a single point at a time?

Actually, following that up with an experiment r=6216098, it actually drops to -107506.56 feet or -32768 meters, suspiciously like 2^16, so a problem with the height at that specific location manifesting as a clipped int? Possibly by the provider of the heights. Not a problem with negative heights, since I tried a route along the dead sea and that worked fine.

Site's distance is WAY off from GPS smartphone app reading:
2014-02-20 08:13:18
1118
I'm confident this site is not off to that degree. I don't get other complaints of mileage being off by close to 50%, and I'm pretty sure that I would if many users were experiencing that. The way this site calculates the distance is fundamentally different from how a device using GPS does, and are actually more likely to be accurate. The GPS points used in the calculation here are chosen by you when you enter the route, and the math is not subject to change as long as the points are basically accurate.
The points used to calculate distance in a device come from its GPS receiver, which can be highly variable in their accuracy. I have had the experience of using gps devices that will create a point randomly a good tenth of a mile off my route, despite the pointe before and after it being in the right place. From that one point I had a route that was off by .2 of a mile. And that was with a dedicated device designed to use GPS for fitness tracking -- the GPS accuracy of a phone is likely to be lower than that of a dedicated GPS device.
This is a pretty well-known problem with fitness tracking using GPS. This article contains detailed step-by-step instructions showing how to repair a route a cyclist recorded with his GPS trip computer, and has some graphics that illustrate the problem nicely. http://mechturk.wordpress.com/2012/11/20/howto-fixing-dodgy-gps-data-for-strava/ And this message board thread suggests that people get very different results from different apps; some find mapmyrun to be more accurate, some less: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/567387-anyone-find-the-gps-on-mapmyrun-inaccurate
Interestingly, I used the online mapping tool that is available at mapmywalk.com, and the results were much more in line with those from milermeter: mapmywalk got 3.45 where your route here on milermeter was 3.28. http://www.mapmywalk.com/routes/view/361006407 -- Milermeter did come out shorter, but the two distances are a lot closer.
I know it's frustrating that the results vary so much, but I hope with this information you'll feel that milermeter's calculations are a bit more acceptable.

I am using the smartphone app MapMyWalk on my iPhone. I just took a walk today I mapped out here first, and arranged to meet a friend at the other end. Because gmaps-pedometer said it would be about 3.3 miles, I figured 45-50 minutes (I'm 6'2", so a 4mph is normal for me). However, it ended up being 80 minutes. And guess what? MapMyWalk, using GPS, tracked me as going 4.8 miles. That is a HUGE, and completely UNACCEPTABLE, difference. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6211135. Even just near my house, gmap-pedometer tells me it is 0.43 miles to my nearest busstop, but on MapMyWalk, it is *consistently* 0.93mi ... nearly TWICE the gmap-pedometer estimate. [Interestingly, a walk of a distance between those two that I do regularly, clocks her at 1.1 miles and on MapMyWalk it is abou 1.2 miles, so very close.] Can anyone tell me what is going on? Bear in mind this is San Diego, so "overcast" days are rare, so it's not satellite interference. And, as I noted, simply because of the time it took me to do my walk today, the GPS app is far more reliable. There is absolutely NO WAY that a 3.3-mile walk took me 80 minutes. I could to that all uphill in less time.

As for the iPod pedometer, I do think that pedometers in general are not that accurate, unless each and every step you take is similar in motion. And it probably underestimates your *distance* if you have longer legs than the average woman (and if you're a guy, that really explains it!). I'm 6'2" (part of why I can easily walk at 4mph), so my strides are a lot longer than the average woman's!
Why doesn't my GPS/pedometer match the map?:
2014-02-18 21:38:41

For me, comparing gmaps-pedometer with my GPS smartphone app, MapMyWalk, it is gmaps-pedometer that understimates mileage. I've noticed this for awhile, but today did a really long walk and it was a huge difference. Gmaps pedometer says it was 3.28 miles; MapMyWalk with GPS says it was 4.79 miles. That is a totally unacceptable difference. I know that GPS can be thrown off with satellite date, but not by that much,a nd I was going at a pretty fast clip, so I anticipated it being a little over45 minutes but it was about 80 minutes. So ther eis NO WAY the gmaps-pedometer is accurate. I just posted this map to public here: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6211135

Basically, I take my best times for a 5K, 10K, and half-marathon, and create an equation that describes my max effort curve. Then, based on my pace and distance, I can find out how close to my max effort each run was, and project 5K/10K/13.1 times based on that run. I normalize the data on a scale from 0 to 1. This lets me make sure I don't do too many hard runs close to each other, or too many easy runs.
So, the feature would require a little user input, but it would make me (and maybe other analytical types like me) more likely to use this site for my log.
Elevation Data:

2014-02-04 01:04:49
1106
Hi - my Workout Log is no longer showing me which bookmarked route I ran next to "Your routes:" Instead, the value for all my entries is "[bookmarked routes]". All the other values seem to have been retained (distance, time, notes, etc.). Did something break? Thanks in advance!
Elevation Data:
2014-02-03 11:51:54
1105
I also have noticed a "problem" with the elevation gain vs total elevation. For the route http://gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6197909, it is all up, so the elevation gain should equal the total elevation. The TE is correct for the route, the EG is almost double. If I add the return leg, the TE is 0, which it should be, but the EG is higher.
walking for weight loss?:
2014-02-02 11:08:46
1104
About a month ago I finally got fed up with my weight and conditioning so I completely changed my eating habits and started my daily walks again. I have lost 20 pounds so far, which I attribute half to my change in eating (went from probably 5,000 calories a day on average down to 1,500) and the other half to walking for right around 2 1/2 hours every morning. Some people aren't going to be able to walk that much, others can do more, and others still would incorporate jogging into that time. I find that for my body, this is what works. So I'd say there's no set answer here, other than to say if you're trying to lose weight, burn more calories than you're taking in. The rest will take care of itself.
Total elevation gain:
2014-01-30 12:09:58
1103
I tried the instructions that DuncanClark added and it worked. However, I question the Elevation Gain calculations. I put in a route from Lone Pine CA to Whitney Portals, which is all up, and the Elevation Gain should be the same as total elevtion. The EG was over 6k feet, and the TE was 4660, which is what it should be.

Numb toes...:
2014-01-16 19:45:19
1095
A few options depending on the duration of your runs - For shorter distances, I keep my shoes over a heating vent before heading out on cold days - you would be surprised how much heat they can absorb.
For more extreme conditions, there are short gaiters you can pick up for not much money - I've seen a lot of fellow trail runners use them, and the cut the wind and wet out considerably.
In any event, good luck w/ your training and the race!

Peter,
You nailed it with the keyword moderation. As a PT (personal trainer), I see my clients struggle with this concept all the time. They want to go full bore into whatever activity and when the willpower fails, they fall off the wagon. If they could grasp the concept of moderation and just workout slowly and steadily over time, they'd find the success they seek.

mixed route:

Hello,
I like the app a lot. It allows me to track my routes. However, I have problem because my routes are often mixed. This is for example walk+(bus,tram,metro), albo bike+bus/tram. But the map does not allow me to differentiate and it sums kilometers from whole trip.
It would be great if I could differentiate different parts of route depending on whether it is bike/walk or tram/bus .. and then keep trak of speparate miles for each.
would it be possible to do ?

I would like to ask if somebody could repair a little flaw on my running route. I'm from Vienna an I run in the park Schloß Schönbrunn.

It is annoying to stop there and start new on the other side. Otherwise this site is the best running tool I've come across (if you live in a big city and not in America). :-)

Advice most welcome but please keep it simple, age is not on my side.

Printing map:
2013-11-20 17:10:43

The latest version of this app has introduced new printing problems including route section drop-outs, blank areas of the map, ads obscuring the map, and others. I've tried using various direct print options in both IE8 (still using XP Pro at work) and Chrome and no luck with either. The best option I've found that seems to work well is a version of seesissyrun's fix noted above. Using Chrome, I loaded the free app called Webpage Screenshot Capture. Using the app you can easily capture the gmap screen and even crop and edit, then print, all using the app. I found the resolution to be unchanged using this app, unlike what sometimes happens using the "Print Screen" option. Give it a try.

Points dead, routes ignored:
2013-10-29 07:25:13

There was a change to Openlayers but that has been reverted. By now the site is back on Google Maps API and the feedback I've gotten is that routing is working as before. It was a version change of the Google API, so I guess it's possible that some routes that worked before have stopped doing so, but I haven't gotten other feedback stating this.
What browser / OS are you using? If you like, you can also provide the city/street you're trying to route along and I'll see if there's anything I can figure it.
Also note you can always switch to manual routing, which means you have to drop each point, but it does allow the route to go exactly where you place it.
Regarding the ads, they are from... well, advertisers. They are businesses not associated with this site and if they tell you to download an app, it won't have anything to do with milermeter.com.
Points dead, routes ignored:
2013-10-27 18:49:38
1034
The pins do not respond since the change. I wrote direct feedback -crickets. I see many others are also having problems. I cannot make the markers respond and actually follow the rout I'm trying to log. Also - rather than following the street I'm tapping, tapping,tapping it market a route diagonally through a city block. "Your mileage may vary." Eh? Very frustrated. Also, the ads. "GET THE APP" do not take you this THIS app but some unrelated ride share app. Bait and switch?!
New format not working well at all:
2013-10-22 16:41:33
1033
I agree. The new version is creating new problems when printing. In both portrait and landscape modes portions of the route disappear when I go into "print preview", and those sections not showing do not print regardless of whether I use preview or not. This version is buggy alright. Hope it's being worked on as I still use it extensively and find it very simple compared to many other mapping programs.
Saved Routes Blank:
2013-10-18 07:43:19
1032
I know some folks mentioned their bookmark page being blank; I'm not referring to that. When I go to my bookmarked routes page, I can click on edit or delete. Most of my routes pop up appropriately when I click edit, however, there are a few that randomly bring up a blank map. They worked before, because I added on, but now they're blank. The elevation change and mileage on my bookmarked site still appears though...
How do I change the default location?:
2013-10-18 07:32:11
1031
To change default location, follow the "profile" link in the top bar. (If you don't see it, note that it's only present when you're logged in.) Once there you'll find a "Set Default Location" widget. Click anywhere on the map to drop a pin, and that is your default location.
The default location does not affect any saved bookmarks. Once you've set it, any visit to a blank Main Map page will result in a marker at the default location. You'll be able to choose whether to start your route from the default location, or start from somewhere else.

As many of you know, the switch to Openlayers turned out to be more problematic than I intended. The worst problem was for many users who were finding the automatic routing behaving extremely erratically. At first I thought this was a result of data changes between Google and OSM, but it turned out that certain browsers (I'm looking at you, IE8) were returning results from some other region entirely. It was a very strange and frustrating bug. There were some other issues, but that one was the real deal-breaker.
(So you know, I [b]did[/b] test on IE! Just not enough versions.)
The site has been returned to the Google Maps API. A couple of things to note:
- The version of the Maps API has been updated to v3. There were a lot of changes to make to move from v2 to v3, so please let me know if you find bugs.
- This means you get streetview now (yay!)
- OSM is still available as an alternate layer. As of now, the routing for automatic routing is always google, but if people want an OSM routing alternative, I can add that back for the OSM layers. Let me know if you'd like that.
- Hybrid and Terrain are now hidden under the Satellite and Map choices in the MapType chooser. This is a result of the v2 --> v3 upgrade.
- The new USGS and Oldskool USGS layers have been removed, but that's only because they're offline due to the US government shutdown. (No joke. Believe me, I wish I was kidding.) They'll be back when.... we have a government again.
[b]I apologize for interruptions the Openlayers change caused for anyone.[/b] There were a number of reasons I made the change, and the main one had to do with trying to avoid paying for Google Maps when a free open source alternative was available. However the usability of the site and the quality of the data are way more important than a few bucks here or there.
I hope you'll come back, and tell your other fitness-minded friends, enemies, relations, coaches, and twitter followers to as well. This site is has been a long and rewarding journey for me so far, and I'm always working on ways to keep it that way. I hope you'll continue to track your journeys on milermeter.com too.
Thanks everyone.

The new site works for me. I have used gmap for years. It is most accurate, and most excellent. Thanks for your work Paul!
The new version does give a different visual impression while defining a route with mouseclicks. The route does appear to wander with respect to the map (sometimes when zooming/panning, sometimes when defining a new route by clicking.) The wander sometimes becomes prominent enough to be disorienting, and once (when zoomed in pretty far in hybrid mode) made me think the clicks were putting the route onto the wrong part of the map. However, the points were in the correct spots, and "snapped" to the right spots after zooming out a few clicks, then zooming back in. (One zoom click wasn't enough, but two sufficed.) I made a careful comparison with a map I made on the old system and the agreement was excellent.
The new opencycle map renderings are beautiful!

The new gmap-pedometer is really hard to use; there is a problem with tracing non-linear routes/paths; also when you change perspective, i.e. zoom in or out, the lines meander all over the place, as if the lines you have drawn are only good at a certain view, and not smaller or larger

I thought the problem was with my work computer, but when I tried it at home it still won't work. When I try to record a route, the first point shows up but subsequent points never do. The miles continue to show zero. The map does move to center the last point selected (as it did before)but the point doesn't show. I'm using IE10 on Win 7.

Hi all -
I'm a long time supporter so will certainly help work out bugs. Two items so far:
Item 1: I too am having problems with trails. I can't get to some of them - major ones like the path around the reservoir in Central Park. I cleared my cache and tried it on the browsers listed below. NB: I remember when you added the ability to follow roads and paths instead of having to click, click, click... it changed my life (at least as far as distance mapping goes :-)
Issue 2:
On Firefox, upon initial page load, the zoom slider is not visible until I click on a different layer. When I go back to Open StreetMap the zoom slider remains visible.
TEMPORARY WORKAROUND
Reverting to the Google Maps layer allows the tool to to follow those paths. If you come back to a road, you can again use the Open StreetMaps layer. It seems that although those paths exist on the OSM layer but are missing some attribute that allows it to be followed.

This switch isn't working well for me at all :( I usually run a combination of trails and roads, and most of my trails are missing. Some of them show up when I bring up an overlay but I can't get the app to follow the obvious trail. One of the trails I'm referring to is a state maintained trail called Bonneville Shoreline trail (in Utah) it doesn't show up at all unless I bring up an overlay but then I can't get the app to track it.
I love this app and have been a big cheerleader for it; but right now I don't find it very useful for route development. I hope these bugs can get worked out.

I agree with pretty much everything jdbrowse has suggested. I can see the value in the open source mapping, but I still prefer to use the Google Hybrid view, because many of my runs rely on visual aids that don't show up in the open source maps. The ability to turn off the 45-degree view would be very helpful in that regard.
I also had trouble with mapping certain trails in eastern PA. Often, the open source map would show a connection in the route but would not snap there in automatic mode. I'm using Firefox 24.0.

Okay, I did the forced reload. Still will not work to create a new route. I can record the first point. The next point centers the map but does not add to the route. I am using IE-8 on a Windows 7, 64bit machine. I tried it with Firefox 22.0. In Firefox it would not stay on the trail and would jump to the nearest road. Not what I intended and not how the Gmap I have grown to love worked.
Also, the new map does not have many of the off road, running paths that I normally use for my running. Specifically, the trails in Trinity Park off of the Trinity river trail system in Fort Worth, Texas. Here is an example. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5857957 . All of this route easily snapped to the correct running path trail in Gmap. If you select the Google Hybrid layer you can see the intended path but there is no way to follow it now unless you use manual straight lines.
Can we go back to the old maps? It was a great tool that I used every week. Now I am force to go to mapmyrun.com. That is okay but I have many regular routes bookmarked on gmap-peometer. I would like to stay but I need it to work.

Since the change nothing works right. It is completely unusable. I can still view my previously saved routes, but if I try to create anything new it's just incredibly buggy and utterly BROKEN! I have tried on several different computers with basically the same results.
For example, trying to create a route, I usually can't get beyond the initial point. On the second click, either nothing happens, or it advances in some ludicrously asinine manner, hopping from one street to an entirely different one, taking some spectacularly long-way-around-the-barn substitute for what should have been a direct connection. Sometimes (if I'm able to make anything happen at all) it insists on taking some "red-dot" path that is apparently a sidewalk or trail, or who knows what. Excuse me, but I don't need a mapping tool to route me onto sidewalks! Are you not seeing any of this? Hello, it doesn't work.

I have a gmaps test route in my yard which, if you trust a Stanley 100' metal tape--and I have no reason not to--is confirmed to within 2.5 inches. This is 99.79% accuracy which is not only wonderful but about the best one could expect on so short a distance since it nearly matches the limit of the maps' pixel resolution when zoomed in fully. Far longer test routes, between latitude parallels for example, revealed far greater accuracy. (For fellow map junkies: A single-leg antipodal great circle route measuring 12450.7303 mi implied a global circumference of 24901.4606mi/40075.0162 km which is a microscopic 31.5"/80cm off of WGS-84's value for the global circumference.)
Today? This 100' tape is 86' long according to milermeter.com because the four highest zoom/magnification levels in "Google Satellite" and "Google Hybrid" (the only two layers I can use for my purposes) switch to the 45 degree viewing angle AND pull the start/end points to the nearest street.
This has rendered worthless almost every one of my 100+ gmaps route bookmarks, accumulated over the past three years. (Glad I anal-retentively snapped screenshots of many of these routes!!)
Can users somehow switch these higher magnifications to overhead view?

I'm sorry, but it does not work for me and I tried all the suggestions of forced reload and different layers, but they all seem to come back to a problem with the "current point" attempting to be on a road.
Many of the maps I create use trails, be they in open-space parks or urban bike/walk ways. If there is somewhere I can send a series of screen shots I would like to point out the problem. But perhaps you can recreate it yourself.
(1) Go to the dotted trail around Mission Bay in San Diego. Start the track on the dotted line, now move around a bit and have your second point also on the dotted line. The "point" I create moves to the closest street.
(2) Go up to NW of the intersection of I-15 and Hwy 56 and zoom in to Black Mountain. Move to the trails just north of Black Mountain peak and start the track on a street, then make the second point a mere 200-300 meters away on the trail. In my case it drew a 4+ mile line around and in backwards to that point, it was like it wanted to stay on streets as much as possible before going to the trails.
I can go on with examples I tried. Since I mostly use it to measure distances to plan a route it is not working for me. Any suggestions?

Next day -- still having problems, same system. I have to force reboot every time I want to use it. Also, after about the 1.5 mile mark, it starts adding bits to the route that I don't want and even using very small increments, it still won't let me go the way I want to go.
I tried Chrome, yesterday I had no problems with it, today I had to force reboot it, but then it worked well (I just don't like using Chrome).
I went back to Chrome to re-plot the route and the second time through, even after a force reboot, I couldn't get the route to stay where I wanted it to, after about the 1 mile mark.
Much later the same day. I noticed that using hybrid causes problems whereas just using the basic map does not (well, not as many).
10/1 There are trails where I live that don't appear on the new map, but do on google maps. I switched to that view, but, once again, the route I try to set is not followed.

I love this site so I really don't want to use another as I love the facebook function and all my previous rides are recorded here. I'm running IE 9 but I'm wondering if I've managed to stop something works in it that needs to be working. I've already tried the forced reload and that didn't work.

Ack! Open Street Map doesn't include bike paths and other trails (specifically the bike/pedestrian bridge over I-80 in Berkeley), but when I switch to Google Hybrid map, it's now offset by 2 blocks to the south! I'm using OS X 10.8.4 and Firefox 24.0.

After I saved a route, which took maybe a minute, the zoom controls then moved to the right side of the map window, so they are no longer under the controls box. Solving issue 2 above.

I'm sure it's just teething problems but I'ld just like to add my opinion to those of many others about the drawbacks of a mapping system for runners and cyclists which doesn't allow route-measuring on non-roads (in Bristol England at least!). Hope it can be fixed guys. I loved the old Gmap but I think the new system has real potential and novel features but can we please have the non-road measurements back?

Two issues. I hadn't used the site for several weeks due to motherboard failure. New motherboard, CPU, RAM, and OS - now Windows 7. Just tried gmap, a very handy program, using Opera, my usual browser. Wouldn't load the map. Got the "control" box in the upper left, but no map - just a continuing hourglass. Do I need to re-update flash or something else?
Switched to Firefox. Seemed very slow to load, but at least I finally got a map. And it worked when I went to a near-Denver Park and laid out a trail. But I had some issues - the control box in the upper left, where you enter decisions/commands, apparently covers up the zoom-in zoom-out controls. Pretty annoying to have to close that box, zoom, the reopen the box. Can this be changed?
Has something changed - it sure seems so, with the different look and slow loading?

It won't let me select paths and trails, forcing the route to use streets. This is in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The path shows on the maps as a red dash - maybe the data is better elsewhere but right now this is a major step back from gmaps-pedometer. :(

I'm having a lot of issues with registration - routes that are correct in e.g. the OSM layer shift by a block or more when I switch to a different background layer (e.g. Google Maps), and when I drag the map or change zoom, they move around as well. So, for example, drawing a map in the Google Maps terrain layer and switching to the OSM layer had me crossing the freeway on a nonexistent bridge 3 blocks south of where I actually crossed.
As others have said with non-road paths, I'm having issues with the Burke-Gilman trail south of the University of Washington in Seattle, WA, USA - paths that previously worked fine are no longer working for me (despite showing up with the same colors and lines as parts that work fine), and I'm being rerouted strangely. Manual of course still works fine.
The new setup does feel quite a bit kludgier to me - things lag strangely, and in general the site seems less responsive now. On the plus side, the elevation graphs are working for me again!

I'm trying to prepare a route within the city of Adelaide, South Australia. Besides a jittery zoom (a big step zoom out to a view of the whole region even (I typically use step 14 or 15) occurs as I more the mouse cursor to set another point, I'm seeing these other problems:
- many local side street names are now missing;
- so far I can's set a point successfully on a marked trail (the Sturt River trail) that I have been able to in the previous gmap;
- manual points are the only ones that get set consistently;
- runner & bike points often jump to adjacent streets & occasionally set some strange loops along nearby streets when trying to set points along a bike trail.
I've used gmaps for a long time as a planner for upcoming ride (both personal and for my work as a teacher) so I have rarely save routes so that's something I can't check or comment on, but the realtime use is unusable.
I've ck'ed it on a Lenova dual-core laptop running Linux Mint 14 & Firefox 24.0. Also on a Win XP netbook running the latest Firefox. Both have these problems. This has been a wonderful tool & I appreciate all of your work, but it's really broken at this point for the way I use it.

I think this update has plenty of promise if the present bugs are worked out. There are a few requests I'd like to make in order to make the new system more usable. This is from the perspective of someone who almost always measures routes manually (at least in urban areas) on satellite/hybrid view after running them, so that I know the actual distance as run quite precisely (and who is very loyal to and appreciative of this site, having logged hundreds and hundreds of routes on it). My current browser version is Chrome 29.0.1547.76 m (up to date as of this writing) on Windows 7.
- Google Satellite and Hybrid now switch to 45-degree view when sufficiently zoomed in, and the route lines and nodes drift around on the map in this view as you add points, which makes it a pretty useless mode. So I would REALLY like the option to turn off 45-degree view, as on the Google Maps site itself, or to have 45-degree view not happen at all.
- Zooming in and out with the mouse's scroll wheel, at least with my aged Logitech mouse, now skips zoom levels by increments of 3. It would be much more convenient if it were possible to access every zoom level with the scroll wheel as previously happened on this site and as still happens on Google Maps, OSM, etc. It's a flow-breaking nuisance to have to resort to clicking the actual zoom buttons to access certain zoom levels.
- A less critical improvement but one that would be lovely IMO would be the option to turn off the smooth panning that centers onto the newest point clicked. The new markers annoyingly flicker on and off as the panning comes to a stop, but also, at least in the previous version, I think the smooth panning was often a final straw causing the page to crash, which happened with some frequency. I think three user choices here would be ideal: (1) smooth panning as usual; (2) instant centering on the newest point added; (3) no motion of the map when a new point is added.
Paul, thanks for many years of developing a great resource. I will definitely continue using the site, but if you implement the above changes (or at least the first two), it will really repair the usability of this new version for me.

Functionality appears to have been lost for users in Britain. Unable to find any locations e.g. Finedon, Wellingborough, which gmaps found easily as they unique names.
More importantly the new site is unable to follow ANY roads, where gmap worked fine. So now I only have a guess at distance because I have to map it all out by hand using manually drawn straight lines,
Are there any plans to fix it, or allow users a button to switch to the old version?
Editable points:

It would be nice to move and insert points in the middle of a route.
I'm a certified course measurer and often use your fine tool to show / plan a reasonable accurate rendition of how a course is / will be measured. This is generally done with hundreds (thousands) of manual (straight line) points zoomed way in on satellite view to follow the shortest path along curbs, centre lines, diagonals, etc. The final distance can be remarkable close to a true Jones Counter bicycle measure. Having to undo the route from the end to adjust a point in the middle is frustrating.
Perhaps a Show /Edit Points button could be added to make all the points visible. Individual points could then be selected and moved, deleted, or a new point inserted just before / after. Routes / distances could be recalculated automatically or on demand.
Other possible embellishments:
- display intermediate distance of selected point
- display gps coordinates of selected point (or the cursor)
- display and adjust other properties of selected point (previous segment), eg auto runners / manual, colour, length
- specify orientation of (all or next) distance / end pins (as they sometimes get in the way)
- annotation boxes / bubbles

Yeah for a current OpenStreetMap. The previous OSM view was using old data.
However as others are noticing clicking on paths to select is now very finicky, more often than not picking a nearby road instead. And even when found, route finding between sometimes takes longer routes via roads.

It is no longer possible to create routes using Gmap-pedometer since the change to the new route options. When clicking on paths it jumps to the nearest road or back tracks several kilometres. It is no longer usable and I will have to find another preferred application. I tested it with IE and Chrome. Neither of them work. Please put it back the way it was until it has been properly tested.

Is there a setting you can provide to switch to gmaps? Here's the lost functionality:
1. Can't search for places.
Before, I could type in "alewife t station, cambridge, ma", and maps would center on the subway station. Now I have to do "north cambridge, ma" and find it.
2. Can't use non-roads.
There are lots of trails around the Fresh Pond Reservoir just south of Alewife Station that I use. The automapping doesn't want to recognize them. I can draw straight lines onto the routes, but if I then click further on the route, it rubberbands back to the nearest road.
I don't mean the mapping layers -- that looks cool! -- I mean the route-finding.

[size=200]gmap-pedometer.com is now milermeter.com![/size]
[b]What happened?[/b]
The site has switched from using the Google Maps API to an open source library called Openlayers. Openlayers does all the same things Google Maps does, and is free software owned and maintained by the open source community. Since we're not on the gmaps API anymore, I'm taking "gmaps" out of the name. Now it's milermeter.com!
[b]What do I need to learn?[/b]
Almost everything works the same way it always did. The most significant change is that in order to change map layers, you'll now need to click the "+" in the upper right of the map to bring up the layer selector.
[b]What are the new layers?[/b]
OpenStreetMap: The new primary map layer! Much like the old Google Maps layer, but driven by data contributed by users like you.
OpenCycleMap: Also using OpenStreetMap data, this layer highlights routes and landmarks of special interest to cyclists.
USGS Topo: This layer is provided by the US Geological survey, and provides elevation through contour lines. (Available only in the US)
USGS Oldskool Topo: Also provided by the US Geological survey, this is actually scans of old physcial USGS map quads. Be advised this is very old data. Honestly, it's really in there for the fellow mapnerds, because it's preeeeeetty. (Available only in the US)
Note that three Google layers are still available, Google Satellite, Google Hybrid, and Google Terrain. No other providers had satellite data of the same quality that Google has collected, so those were left in. And Google Terrain is awesome-lookin'.
[b]Why was this done?[/b]
Open source software allows a community of developers to offer products fully able to compete with commercial services. OSS projects give back to the software community and make powerful technologies available to the world free of cost. Open source projects often offer better services than commercial projects are able to. Wikipedia, the open source database, is an example of an OSS project able to accomplish power and agility far beyond any closed source system. Similarly, Openlayers uses data from the OpenStreetMap project, which unlike commercial mapping programs, is freely editable by anyone in the world. If you see a bug on the map, go to openstreetmap.org and fix it! [Plus also Google started charging for use of the Google Maps API.]
[b]What does this mean to me?[/b]
All your existing routes are still there.
All your existing workouts are still there.
All the links or bookmarks to your old routes still work.
The functionality you've always used remains the same. You can still use the site to calculate distances in miles or kilometers, see an elevation graph, check calories, bookmark your routes, and track workouts. The only difference is that some layers have been added or removed. If you saved a route using the base Google mapping layer, it's switching to use the new base OpenStreetMap layer.
Conquering The Malahat & more...:
2013-09-26 14:25:02
904
The URL for this route is http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6096179
This is a route I've been dreaming about and training for for some time. It takes you up over the Malahat and along the Trans Canada to Crofton where you catch a ferry to Saltspring Island. At this point, you've already done 100 kilometres and the leisurely ferry ride to SSI is a blessing because once you're on the island you've got some sweet cycling through the ups and downs of this rural landscape.
But don't get the idea that the remainder is gonna be a cake walk. The hill up out of Ganges towards Fulford Harbour where you catch the return ferry to Sidney, is a leg and lung breaker.
The road plateaus, thankfully, eventually and you're treated to a stunning vista of Fulford Harbour, perfect to sit and enjoy while you sip a drink and reload some carbs at one of the funky cafes around the ferry landing.
Once the ferry takes you back to Vancouver Island, it's easy, relatively flat 37 kms back to Victoria along Lochside Trail. All told, about 140 kms, minus the two ferry crossings (about 10 km total) for a nice net of 130 kms. What a day!
Last but certainly not least, I did this pulling my dog in her trailer behind my bike. Stopping at a truck weight station, my bike, me, my dog, trailer and pannier totaled 170 kgs. I'm 6'2" and 90 kgs, so that means, well, it means we were a heavy load!

By using mark map manually instead of one of the automatic modes, it will allow you to map bike trails but it only does straight lines so it is a bit laborious if you are doing a long bike trail with lots of curves.

Exporting data from route to workout log:
2013-07-15 08:21:19
873
Hello,
I've been a long time user of this excellent site and love its simple no-frills interface.
I very recently signed up for an account to start saving routes and tried out the workout log feature.
I think it would be very handy if it was possible to map out a route and then with one click export the distance, elevation change, calorie, route, etc. data to the calendar.
Keep up the good work!
First time training for the Half Marathon:

Dont just be sure to stick to a training schedule. Also, eat right before ALL of your runs.. not just race day. I did my first half last Feb. and am doing a full this October
Route Sharing:
2013-07-07 15:48:58
871
This is akin to other requests for Social sharing. I appreciate that this could be a big ball of wax, and so as not to reinvent the wheel, you might want to create some app in conjunction with Facebook or other social networking site to handle the "who can see what" side of things.
I know I could export and share routes with friends, or send them the links for route ID's or post to Facebook, but it would be good to have a setting to simply include routes defined by friends in our own bookmarked routes list, or in the pulldown routes list in the workout log.
This is a terrific site, and I wish I'd found it ages ago. Thanks for everything that's already gone into it.
Make next point the same as the starting point.:
2013-07-07 15:40:13
870
It would be nice to have a button that makes the next point on the recording the same as the starting point (otherwise following the rules set by which drawing method, runners, cyclists or straight line). This would be useful for circular routes.
Elevation Data:
2013-07-06 23:24:48
869
I have experience similar to tomleen. I have many hilly routes, but the Elevation Gain seems to be all over the place. Recently plotted a 50 miler in northern Michigan that was constant climbing. Elevation data for that ride was a believable 2500 feet. Later did a 35 mile route --half of which is almost flat -- that showed over 7,000 feet of gain! I don't think the elevation data is trustworthy.
First time training for the Half Marathon:
2013-07-06 22:10:54
868
As you are fit, nado, I'd wager that you'll have no problem getting the 1/2 done. Go out and enjoy the scenery and the entertainment. That way you can set a baseline, get used to the time out there (I'd recommend at least one 13 mile run first, but more than 10 isn't absolutely necessary to finish), and have a goal to beat it next time. Cheers! Have a great race.
Sub Mile Markers:
2013-07-02 08:54:55

Elevation Data:
2013-05-28 16:16:35
854
I've never been able to see the elevation graphs on gmaps pedometer for my rides/runs - the graph area looks like broken image links. When I right-click on these and open in a new window, I get the error message "Warning: Division by zero in /usr/www/users/pdegnan/milermeter/drawGraph.php on line 11". I have tried Safari, Firefox, Chrome. I've tried turning on the elevation data before routing the map. I guess this means that the elevation data is not available for Alaska roads? :( I can map it in Google Earth to get the elevation profile but it isn't as friendly for this as Gmaps Pedometer. Any chance of getting the data for us northerners?

Ik gebruik deze site reeds een tweetal jaar. Zeer gemakkelijk om vooraf een looproute uit te zetten, maar ook om achteraf na te kijken hoever je van huis was. In onze streek zijn er zelfs een aantal landwegen sinds kort gemarkeerd die vroeger manueel dienden te worden uitgezet. Zeer praktisch...
Onze streek is wel Zuid West-Vlaanderen. Ik ben namelijk van Lauwe. Diverse leden van onze club (RTL) gebruiken deze tool ondertussen regelmatig.

I would also donate to the site. Have used gmap-ped for years...it's great, mostly. I just the unfortunate experience of completely losing a route that I had just mapped. I typed in the name for the map, hit Enter, and bam, it disappeared into hyperspace! Maybe I hit Enter twice, but how about a "Are you sure you want to lose this map?" message before going on to delete mode. I mean really, if I've gone to the trouble of NAMING the route, I probably am wanting to save it, right? If you could make the default to SAVE the map it would be great.
Thanks much.

MilerMeter App on iPhone:

I assume that you've done something because I tried Milermeter today and it now goes to find my address - unfortunately it's now finding it in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. The address is 1 Vancouver Ave, Toongabbie (in NSW Australia).
recording long trips does not work:
2013-05-07 13:00:01
846
I'm seeing the same thing. I've got this route http://gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5921918 and when I save it as a new route I get the NaN route number. This is kicking in at the length you see (284km).
Was trying to build it up to 400km (long ride on Saturday!)
Directional arrows on routes:
2013-05-07 10:49:25
845
A really helpful feature to me would be to have the route display arrows in the direction of travel. Most of my saved routes retrace the same streets one or more times, but not necessarily in the same direction. If I haven't used one in a while, it's sometimes difficult to determine where and when to make turns.
Great application. Use it all the time.

Hi, I've tried the Milermeter app - i didn't bother claiming the iTunes card through Indiegogo (it would have cost more to send it to Australia) - but I have a problem. Using gmap-pedometer I can search for any local address but on the app I don't get any response on the same addresses. I can find my home on gmap but not on Milermeter. Is this right, is it intetional? I have had some success on actual addresses, not just localities. I can find the suburb I live in but not streets where I live.

I'd like to be able to take the US map and have a virtual RAGBRAI with my other cycling buddies, but you can only map one route at a time per map. The whole Google idea is collaboration. I'd like to be able to share a map and editing capabilities. I'd like to be able to have different color-coded routes, so that friends could pick a color and start mapping. As the season wears on, we could see who gets to the West coast first.

Choose draw map,manually, start recording and click on the point where you want to start. The more you zoom in, the better you can follow the river. Straight pieces are easy, in curves you have to click more often. Good luck.

tugger, i used to get that. I found that I am a person that takes a long time to warm up. Some things that helped: not eating for 3 hours before running, or doing an *intense* warm-up (like 30 burpees). Alternatively you could just run a bit then walk a bit, run a bit more then walk a bit more. Keep making the running parts longer and after 15 minutes or so you won't need to walk. Maydd's suggestions are great -- my only disagreement with maydd is on the mp3 player... because most popular music is at a tempo (120-140bpm) that encourages slow, heavy footstrikes instead of rapid light ones (180bpm+). If the running is really clicking (and you're in a nice place like maydd said) your senses will be filled just the right amount anyway. Good luck!

If you are able/allowed to do so, consider getting a portable stair-stepper to get some leg movement in during the day. A couple of 20-30 minute sessions of stair stepping at my desk during the day have really helped me cut down on the stiff leg feeling at the end of the day.

Hi [b]jmcarp[/b]
I've always been interested to walk the Camino de Santiago/Way of St James/Jakobsweg/Chemin de St Jacques, maybe some day in the distant future. If I search for 'Camino Frances gpx' on Google, the first link I find is this one ( http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=wojgyldddrbyrnnb&language=en ), which looks a lot like what you asked for. Now, if only we could import GPX files into Gmap-pedometer...;)

Hi [b]tugger[/b],
I used to get that a bit, eventually I put it down to a mild anxiety that I might not be able to complete my circuit without walking (weird phobia #5473442), so I would use the first few minutes of my run to regulate my breathing, concentrate on technique, get into a rhythm and (best of all) clear my mind of all the mundane worries and just be in the moment. Maybe investing in a mp3 player with a nice running track mix will also be great for 'zenning' out, although I find I don't need it these days. The natural sounds and sights and smells, assuming you run in nice places, are sufficient for relaxation.

Okay! New to running but like the benefits. I'm 58 and try to keep an easy to moderate pace but sometimes I start out and run out of wind after only about a quarter to a half mile. Other times, I can pick an easy pace and just go for a mile or two and feel great! What gives? Any advice? I stretch before and after, I also do a fairly rigorous workout after my run. Not enough water, wrong kind of food? What gives? Signed, 'Frustrated'
Edit Distance Markers?:
2013-03-21 09:55:27
824
On an out-and-back route, or one with laps, distance markers are often superimposed on each other. Is there a way to hide selected markers, or to edit them? If, for example on an out-and-back 10K route, the 7K marker appears on top of the 3K marker, I would like to be able to hide one of the markers and edit the other to read "3/7". Alternatively, if the markers could be rotated automatically in opposite directions, then they would both be visible.

This is the best mapping App I have used so far. I have then following suggestions: (1) add the option "car"; (2) allow the user to input start and end points also by their addresses, e.g. County, city, street, point of interest , (3) allow the user to set a few waypoints the route must go through.
MilerMeter App on iPhone:

Oops, sorry about that! Try shutting down the app from the iOS task manager. To do that:
- Double-tap the home button. This will bring up a list of all apps currently running
- Tap and hold the MilerMeter icon. This will bring up a little red minus icon on the upper left.
- Tap that minus icon to shut down the app. Don't worry, it won't delete it, only shut down the instance currently running.
Thanks for the bug report, and if that doesn't help, please let me know.

You need two minor changes to the User Interface!!:
2013-03-10 13:12:23
819
1) I can't figure out how to look at bookmarked route without selecting "Edit". Frustrating! Recommendation: Simply allow the Route ID to be selectable from the Bookmark screen so you can look at and a review a route before you go on a run or ride (and not be editable from that view).
2) If I'm in the editing screen and don't make a change, "main menu" is not selectable so I have no way to get back to the main menu! But if you solve the first problem above, this isn't that necessary (but still useful).

I just found this site last week and was so pleased. Thank you for such a useful site! I've been walking my neighbourhood for years now as my primary exercise and always wondered how many kms I was doing (I once had a pedometer but it was not good). My routes have changed over the years, and I was amazed to discover my main route is now nearly 7 kms! That's awesome and inspires me to keep on going! I try to get out every day.
Elevation Gain is inaccurate:
2013-02-17 05:47:35
809
You are not wrong, the measurement is wrong. I experience the same problem. And also the total elavation gain can be incorrect. I tested it on several paths and it seems that e.g. any tree that overhangs a way is measured as elavation change. That leads of course to wrong data of height and so to a wrong elavation gain. As the values are so beyond the reality, for me they are useless anyhow.
Gmap on Droid:

I love Gmap but it is not really workable on my Droid. I can go to a saved route on my Droid Razr Max through the browser, but when I zoom in, or scroll to a new spot, the refresh is really slow or the route doesn't line up with the actual map. An app for Droid would be wonderful! I've tried a bunch of other apps for Droid but none of them have the basic features the gmaps has.

I cannot get my maps to save at all. It merely gives me a blank screen with the words, "working on it..." and nothing happenhs after that. This happens whether I hit "Save Changes" or "Save AS Copy."

Potting the same route but in the other direction, i.e. down I get this.

Can someone explain?

Darn, I hadn't even noticed that. Thanks heaps. :-)
BTW what does elevation change mean? The difference between gain and loss or something? If I get negative values, does that mean I've had more loss than gain?
Elevation Data:
2013-02-02 07:43:24

loro, do you have elevation turned on for your map (either the "small" or "large" option) before you save? I think if you have elevation turned off, you'll get "0.00," but if you turn it on for the map before you save, you'll be able to see the data on the bookmarked routes page.

to explain the question: have created a route A-B-C-D-E and want to extend the route to A-B[b]-X-Y-Z[/b]-C-D-E. Is that pssible without undoing E, D and C first and redoing it after inserting X-Y-Z?

I turned 50 and started running. I just set up a facebook page called Run Like a Nanna because I have giving it a good go for the last 7 months and am slowly getting there. I don't look anything like the yunguns do. I have done a few races and will be doing a 5 km in March then as a culmination of a learn to run 10k course I will be doing a 10k fun run in June. Goals are good.

Any chance that you could add a link to google street views? I'm tracking a virtual long-distance run (multiple states) and it's nice to click and see a picture of where I'm at. I can kinda sorta do it myself by just going to google maps and picking the approximate location, but it seems like it would be feasible to have a button that I can click to automatically feed the coordinates to google maps.

I have a bookmarked route. When I try to log it in and then add in the time it took me to complete the route, I get Invalid error message and the mileage gets blanked out.
Also, I did the same route twice in one day. However when I tried to log it in twice, it didn't work; only one instance of the route appeared in my workout log.
Allow us to map new trails:

Having just found this terrific site recently, I think it is great.
But I often walk in parks or open spaces where gmap-ped doesn't have a trail, even though "decent" trail paths can be seen on the photos.
Let us click out new trails - define new trails that then can be used in routes herein. I at least am willing to do frequent clicks to delineate a trail that I have used or am about to use. Provide a way for us to add to the routes that gmap works on, please.

Hello,
I will turn 48 this year. I have run 3 marathons in the past. I always run but the mileage has not been significant in the last 10 years. The biggist issue as of late was the diagnosis of a thyroid issue --- sluggish Thyroid. I have always been able to control my weight through running but before the diagnosis ---the last few years have been tough. At 5.6 and 180 pounds-with moderate exercise- there is a lot of stress on my joints. No one can even guess I weigh this much as a female. They say it is all muscle LOL.
Now I have picked up my distances. The wonderful Thyroid pill has given me back some energy as well as a 98.9% gluten free diet also helps with energy reserves.
I love to run. I usually use Runner Worlds' training schedules which give you a wonderful variation of a workout. I am blessed that I live in a area that is not flat and has four seasons. Winter,Fall and Spring rock with the right temperatures but summers are awful.
Even though most of my runs are done on my own, joining a running club also is suggested as a running buddy with the same pace can help for those longer distances.
ENJOY your year!!!
Sincerely,
Nigluc
P.S. I love this tool. It is better then my 2 garmin units that have just recently not worked because of the colder temperatures and battery issues.
Zoom Function Stopped Working:
2013-01-06 08:11:27
785
Several weeks ago the zoom function using my mouse's scroll wheel stopped working on G-map. It has been inefficient for me to have to use the map's zoom slider instead. I am trying to determine if the problem is with my mouse (Logitech Marathon Mouse M705 will latest driver) or is it a problem with G-map. For what it is worth, my scroll wheel zoom works fine in other applications including Google Maps.
Anyone else having this problem? Any suggested solutions?

Hi Boney13, Wow -- I am so impressed with your running! We are pretty similar -- I'll be 50 this year, I began running about a year and a half ago, and yet, my longest run so far is a 10K. As I begin the new year, I'm thinking about what type of runs I want to shoot for because I ran the 10K last May, and basically stopped -- what?! So, I'm doing the 10K again, but this time I will continue and I will run a 10 Miler in the summer or fall (I'm hoping to get into the Twin City 10 Miler in Oct., but it's by lottery) and then a Half in November. Do you know, are there even half-marathons in November? I have got to have clear goals and refuse to wimp out to accomplish this -- and I WILL!!! How is everybody else's running going? Do you have 2013 goals? I'd love to hear them.

Hello littlemissenigma,
Thanks for the welcome. The 30K is in Hamilton Ontario(it is called Around the Bay Road Race) at the end of March...it is the oldest road race in North America dating back to 1894....why 30k? I don't know to be honest. Good luck with the IT band (I found the dreaded foam roller worked well on my IT band about a year ago...it's painful though). Happy New Year to all.
Cheers!

Has anyone experienced that elevation gain is only good up to 999.99 feet? If you have any gain greater than 1000 feet, the program defaults to 1.00 ft. Can this be corrected?

Ladygypsy629 and tomxp: you guys are my inspiration now. I am coming up on 60 and have really let myself go. It's now or never but overwhelming to think how far I've got to go. I think beginning by walking and building up from there is the way to go. Your success gave me a real boost. Would love to hear how you are doing.

Hi and welcome Boney13! That's an unusual distance, 30k, is it a UK race? Well done, and good luck, your experience with the HM's should stand you in good stead. I totally agree with you about stretching, and as my affliction is the dreaded IT band, it is absolutely essential for me.

Hello,
New to the site but am the proverbial middle age runner (just turned 50) and have been running for about 1.5 years. I have done 5k up to halfs and am currently training for a 30k in March. I too struggle with injuries (the right hamstring is my current affliction) and have been to physio. Short quick strides have helped along with hip strengthening exercises and a number of stretches. I looking forward to a pain free 2013.

Disappearing Work-Out Records:
2012-12-24 13:21:51
772
The reason I like gmap-pedometer so much is because it allows me to keep track of my daily runs and see what changes may occur, thus I am extremely frustrated when every once in a while I open it up and discover that records from a few days previous have just vanished. Today i discovered that the records of 2 days from last week have vanished. Can you advise?
Satellite image with topo overlay:
2012-12-13 10:40:50
771
Love the site and have used it for years to measure road bike rides.
Lately I have been using it more and more to plan routes for new mountain bike trails. The elevation tool and manual measurement make it easy to design a sustainable trail.
However, I find myself having to switch back and forth between satellite and topo views and trying to correlate the two. It would be very handy if I could choose a view that had an opaque satellite view in the background with a semi-transparent "Terrain" view over the top of it. This way I could follow contour lines and keep track of roads, etc...
I could see this being useful for anyone who is interested in knowing elevation information as well as physical landscape.
Edit a segment of a route like Google Maps:
2012-12-02 13:31:27

I would love this. I hate making an epic whatever-km-long route and seeing something I screwed up at the 200-metre mark, knowing the choices are just to leave it in or to do hundreds of carefully-done points over again. gmap-pedometer would be so much better with a feature like this.
Import GPX into Gmaps?:
2012-12-01 12:26:33
769
ANY type of import is essential, imho!!
Printing map:
2012-11-30 09:29:20
768
One partial solution I've discovered, after completing all Windows updates, ensuring Flash Player, Quicktime, Java, and other plug-ins were all up to date, is to not use the "Print Map" option from within gmap-ped, but instead do the following: Close the gmap menu panel by clicking on "zoom shut". Move your route view to the extreme left side of your monitor. Then utilize the IE File drop-down and click File/Print Preview. This normally opens the print screen in portrait view initially and still has the Ad banner right across the middle. But then if you change to landscape view it gives you a full screen map and the Ad banner outline marks but no Ad. Give this a try, it's been working for me since the last gmap upgrade.
Pace what does it mean ?:
2012-11-29 16:11:10
767
It means how long it would take you to do an average mile. So at that pace if you went out and did a mile it would take you 3mins and 51 seconds. Calculation is total time divided by distance.
Editing.:
2012-11-27 17:56:48
766
At the moment I believe it is only possible to edit a created route by deleting points from the end of the route and working back to the beginning, but would it be possible to to edit by taking points from the beginning and altering the startt point?
Cannot Save Changes/Edits to Existing Routes:
2012-11-27 17:26:06
765
Whenever I ask it to save additions I've made, whether i click the "Save Changess" or "Save as Copy" button, I get taken to a page tha just says "Working on it..." in the upper left corner, where it just hangs like that forever. If I open up a new tab and look at my bookmarked routes, the changes are not there. If, however, I click on the "Clear points and start over" link, and put all my changes in from scratch, and click the "Save toure" link it saves to my bookmarked routes just fine. I am presently using Firefox 17 (though this started a month ago) and Windows 7 Home.
Elevation Change:
2012-11-27 16:59:14
764
What would be useful would be an output like this: 5.0 kilometers total, 2.5K with an overall elevation gain of 500 meters, and 1.0K relatively flat; and 1.5K with an overall elevation loss of 500 meters. With calculations of calorie burns for each using the above data. (If you wanted to get even more accurate, you cold add in an algorithm to give you better numbers based on a calculation of what the average gradient of the incline or decline was.)
Elevation Change:
2012-11-27 16:54:24
763
If you see here, for instance--http://walking.about.com/b/2011/04/13/how-many-more-calories-do-you-burn-walking-uphill.htm--you will see that people burn, on average, 60% more calories going uphill than if they are on flat ground, but burn less than 7% fewer calories when going downhill than if they were on flat ground.
So if someone is going to get any USEFUL workout information out of incluidng this information, your site's calculus should give the user, SEPARATE accounts of elevation gains and then elevation losses in their route, NOT the overall total of these two together.
Elevation Change:
2012-11-27 16:45:57
762
But what is the purpose of the calculation if that is all it is doing? First of all, if I do a walk or a run, I am going to be using more energy if I go uphill halfway than if it had been all flat, EVEN IF I end up back at the starting point. Second, anyone who walks or runs (as opposed to riding a bike) will tell you that going downhill, you do exert some energy with your legs to maintain your speeed (you can't just "coast" on your feet). It might be less than if you were walking on flat ground, but it could actually be more, and it most certainly is not less to the point that it is equal in a negative direction to that when you are going uphill.

The calorie counter is nice, but since I walk at a a very brisk speed, I would like to be able to figure out the calories burned as I increase my walking speed. I am sure that would help me and others to build up my /our speed and watch the calories melt off.
Winter Running:

I'm clearly a little late to this thread, but still--I run in northern Utah, and we can have some long and cold winters. If there is snow/ice on my route, I have 'chains' that I can put over my running shoes that help grip the road. I don't really notice them when running, and they haven't affected my form. But I do notice a difference in 'grip' on the road. I would think any running store (in colder climates) would have something you can get.

I am shocked to say that I've inadvertantly somehow become 67. (grin) My profession - from which I retired a year ago - was rather sedentary and I decided that some of the weight had to disappear and at least *some* exercise had to be part of the process. Your site has been wonderful in planning and assessing walking routes. I love numbers and this allows me to keep track of my progress. Starting at 196, I'm down to 171 and hope to level off at about 165. But walking is definitely going to be a continuing part of my life. Thanks a bunch for this site!
Winter Running:

740
First of all congrats on successfully making it this far into your running routine. Secondly, I am also planning to run throughout the winter months and being Canadian I am preparing for some substantial ice and snow. The good news for us here is that there is plenty of winter running gear options that will allow us to brave the elements. Depending on where you live a good pair of trail running shoes may have the grip and protection you need. I'm looking at getting something that has further apart traction to allow snow room between the grooves without getting caked in them. The upper may be GTX (goretex) which is great for keeping the foot dry and warm. I'll be dressing in layers trading my shorts in for a thicker and warmer pair of long tights. The upper shell I have is just a water/snow resistant jacket that can easy accommodate base layers. I like to dress economical even during blizzard runs so the layers I wear mostly fit pretty closely to my skin which I find allows for better movement out there. Oh, almost forgot sunglasses, running gloves/mitts, hat/toque, and ipod player are good accessories to get you through the winter too! Good luck out there and happy running!

Correct form when running:
2012-09-19 12:57:50
731
I prefer to run with my arms at 90 degree angle. When you run and cross your arms infront of your chest it wastes more energy and you tend to get tired quicker. Run them at 90 degrees with them parallel to your body. It also helps a lot when running hills because you can drive them harder. Of course, drinking water all day is important so if you're not doing that I strongly recommend it ;)! Good luck with your running!

Check out this terrible route!:
2012-08-28 16:01:08

Sounds like the issue is here is actually an enhancement request rather than a bug.
gmap-pedometer expects you to build a route as you choose points to connect, then it computes mileage. This particular 15 mile Seattle route was constructed using just three points, the start at Marshall Park, a leg to Frink Park, and the final destination on 1st Ave NW at NW 97th.
The complaint here is that gmap-pedometer uses the route that Gmap produces for travel by car. With the same three points using the Gmap Bicycling Directions or Gmap Walking Directions you get two totally different routes, both avoiding I-5. Both these Gmap features are still categorized as "beta"; so the "bug" here seems more like an enhancement request to integrate gmap-pedometer with these two relatively new Gmap modes.
You can certainly "coerce" gmap-pedometer to produce the same route as Gmap Bicycling Directions by picking intermediate points appropriately instead of choosing two points 10 miles apart in a city with 1000's of route possibilities. The gmap-pedometer route at this URL
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5635899
yields the same route that Gmap renders in Bicycling Directions mode when connecting these three points:
West Queen Anne, Seattle, WA
Frink Park, 31st Avenue South, Seattle, WA
Sandel Park, 1st Avenue Northwest, Seattle, WA
The only hitch is that to get gmap-pedometer to allow a route to travel along an actual bike path, e.g. the Burke-Gilman Trail, you need to first switch to the Automatic Draw Route for Runners mode. I guess you could legitimately call this a bug (or maybe it's just runner's bias?). I noticed this same issue when trying to layout a cycling path on Cape Cod (MA) using the Cape Cod Rail Trail (CCRT). You must switch gmap-pedometer out of cycling and into running mode to get onto the CCRT.
One other enhancement that seems possibly easier to implement ahead of integration with the Gmap Bicycling Directions is for gmap-pedometer to configure Gmap to always render a route using the two "Avoid Highways" and "Avoid Tolls" Gmap options. In this case Gmap creates yet another route using the three Seattle locations and that avoids I-5 (but differs markedly from the Gmap route in Bicycling Directions). Maybe exposing these two options to gmap-pedometer users to control might be relatively simple?
Calorie Count:
2012-08-28 13:22:10
712
My comment applies to this question and extends the discussion to calories burned for cycling (this topic) as compared to running.
According to articles at the Livestrong site the pace does influence calorie burn: "The two most important factors in how many calories you burn while running are your body weight and the pace at which you're running"
Read more: http://www.livestrong.com/article/543862-running-pace-burning-calories/#ixzz24rYdlayi
Since gmap-pedometer was originally developed to map running routes I've assumed that the algorithm used is based on running the route at one pace. I created a 1 mile route and used a weight of 205 lbs to get a calorie burn of 155, or 1550 for 10 miles, which is roughly what the livestrong article says a 205 lb runner would burn in an hour; so the default pace is 6 minute miles (10 mph). I also checked the gmap-pedometer computed calorie burn for a 155 lb runner on the same route and this is in the same ballpark with data in the Livestrong article. So, on the basis of this I've concluded that the calorie counter here only applies to the activity "running" (so does not change if you select the "cycling" route mode) and assumes a 6-minute/mile pace.
When cycling the same route a different algorithm is needed. As a rule of thumb (based on Livestrong articles) cycling under 10 mph burns 0.5 the number of calories and over 10 mph burns 0.62 the number of calories of a runner of the same route.
Another study, however, found that riding a bicycle 20 miles at 15 mph will burn the same number of calories as running 5.6 miles at any speed. This study found that running tends to burn the same amount of calories at any speed**, while bicycling calorie consumption varies more with speed because of wind resistance. Using this result then the factor to convert running calories to cycling calories for the same distance would be 0.28 (20 X 0.28 = 5.6).
Presumably the actual factor is somewhere between 0.28 and 0.62
Read more:
http://www.livestrong.com/article/526514-do-you-burn-more-calories-running-than-on-a-bicycle/#ixzz24rQxNMT4
and reference other articles at the site http://www.livestrong.com/
** I also assume that the operative word in "runnng at any speed" is "running". My guess is that the cutoff between "jogging" and "running" is somewhere below a 10-minute mile pace. Note that there is one school of thought that calorie burn is independent of pace for the same distance since a slower pace just means you are working out longer, though at a lower heart rate which increases fat burn (the kind of calories we love to burn most).
Charts and types of workouts:
2012-08-24 00:40:54
711
I've really liked the basic format of the charts and the information they provide. The only limitation I've noticed so far, is that you can't separate out the bicycle workouts from the running workouts on the charts. The mileage shown is the cumulative total with no differentiation between running and biking. It would be a pretty cool feature to be able to split it out between those two types of workouts.

I am a middle aged (57) woman who started walking 121 days ago. With "middle age" comes "middle age spread" and I was totally frustrated with the spreading middle!!!! I started walking in my neighborhood with the intention of improving my health, losing weight and to be able to participate in the 2013 Mountain Man March. I had been driving my car on my routes to figure out how far I was walking. This site has been a life (and gas) saver!! Thank you. I struggled with some features but have a profile, a list of my different routes I prefer (variety), and I love the workout log!! I walk EVERYDAY. I cannot do 3-5 days alternating. I procrastinate too much for that so the everyday schedule is working. I have lost 15 pounds so far (25 more to go)and I feel better. Thank you again for a great site!!!!

I'm 34 as of two weeks ago, and want to both thank everyone for the tips on avoiding injuries as you age and second the advice on modifying your stride. I had some knee and hip problems a few years ago and found that they were almost entirely caused by heel striking and pushing distance/speed faster than I was ready for. Changing to a mid-foot "shuffle" stride, getting shoes that fit properly, and setting a realistic program have done wonders. Best of all, I actually run a more consistent pace-and dropped pace faster-once I figured that out.

I have been using this site regularly for about 5 years to plan routes for my walk team in Ottawa (Ottawalkers). We almost always have a few people training for an upcoming event, half marathon/marathon or whatever, and so planning specific distances over the training period is important. (Meanwhile, other members who prefer to walk shorter distances also like to know where/how far they are walking.) Also we like variety in routes, and luckily Ottawa has a lot of beautiful routes to take - canal pathways and pathways along 3 rivers, as well as lovely neighborhoods and the Experimental Farm. Gmaps Pedometer is a fabulous tool to use to support our training efforts, with optional shorter sub-routes.

You can switch between runner and even manual mode, as you map your cycling route. That's the workaround when the software flips out and gives me something that makes zero sense; just undo a move or two, change modes, & change back when you're getting the right result.

Alternatively, can the current chart be increased in size and the scales adjusted to make it possible to read off the actual elevation for any point along the route?
Has this question been answered? I am also interested. A CSV excel file would be excellent!

Sometimes I want to edit just a small section of a route that I have planned. To do this now I have to remove the past points and then re-map and re-do the end/finish. It would be awesome if I could edit only a small segment of part of a route like on Google Maps. Google Maps has that little bubble/circle thing that lets you drag the route to a different road/path/whatever without having to redo the entire thing. I use gmap-pedometer to plan group rides and we try to keep the rides within a certain mileage distance and having to continually re-do the route in it's current sequential method of adding points causes a lot of re-work to try out a couple minor changes to a route.
Otherwise, we love it! Thanks for providing this free service!

Excellent advice from maydd! Agreed on all points...The open-top bus tour of the city is a great "lay of the land" and extra emphasis on all aspects of the traffic rules advice. I would just add to bring a littel street map with you...even if you have mapped/planned out a route ahead of time, you should be prepared to walk or change plans on the fly, as some roads may all-of-the-sudden lack sidewalks half-way through your run (and some European drivers aren't used to looking for runners on such roads) Best of luck keeping up with the running.

It is a bit annoying to have to set distance to metric, draw route to manually, elevation to small, etc. each time I want to record a new route. Therefore could you please save some more information with my profile, basically all the things I can set in main map? If coded as bits this would add 1 (in words: one) byte to each profile (Distance: 1 bit, Draw route: 2 bits, Mile markers [better: distance markers]: 1 bit, Calorie counter: 1 bit, Elevation: 2 bits -> = 7 bits, would leave 1 bit for further extensions :-)).

Running Abroad:

By all means, keep up the running - after a few days of the German diet of meat, potatoes, beer, and more meat, your body will be screaming at you to take action!
Running in exotic locales has always been, for me, an enjoyable experience. To this day I remember an early morning run in Paris, just as the city awakened, with drowsy-eyed Parisians on their way to work - even when I got lost slightly (note to self: those sharp junctions can be quite tricky), the experience just heightened the thrill of being on holiday in a strange country.
One way to scout for routes is to take an open top bus tour, watching out for runners and parks on the way. When the runners are scarce, maybe it is with good reason...at the very least one can walk/jog to a public park, and then do some hard circuits if that's they way you roll.
Traffic rules can vary enormously, so it is best not to run with an iPod or Walkman, at least the first couple of times. Go slow, slower than you normally do, as one simply cannot expect pedestrians, cyclists and motorists to behave the same as they do back home - look both ways on crossing a street (I would suggest coming to a complete stop), especially in countries where they drive on the opposite side to what you're used to.
Check with your hotel or B&B how sweaty runners can be accommodated, as using the public areas and elevators may be frowned upon - maybe there is a back entrance or staircase that can be used instead.
I don't consider myself an expert on the subject, but I am very much an enthusiast of running abroad.

Elevation Gain is inaccurate:
2012-06-24 13:39:13
659
The elevation gain reported in "bookmarked routes" is inaccurate, although the elevation gain displayed graphically seems to be correct. I mapped a route for a loop hike I've done, and while the total elevation change is correct (0'), the elevation gain is double what it's supposed to be. It seems as if gmap-pedometer is counting ANY change in elevation as gain. I haven't quite seen this problem brought up before in the forum, so either I'm experiencing a random bug or no one else has noticed a problem.
While we're on the topic, is there any possible way to implement three elevation data columns? Total Elevation Change, Elevation Gain, Elevation loss.

Here's an idea that introduces a social(tm) component to gmaps:
Sometimes I find myself far from home with my running gear packed, but the runs are really few and far between. On the occasions that I DO get to run in an exotic locale, it is always a rewarding experience. As a kind of memento, I then record the route on gmaps, but it would be nice to share this with others.
You, as a proud citizen, must know of a route or two that shows off your city to even greater advantage than a mere tourist could.
It would be nice to have a database of (say) top 10 runs in a given city/area/suburb, that can be rated by users on a number of criteria, such as accessibility, difficulty, safety, natural beauty, best pubs, etc. There can also be a number of performance indicators kept, such as top 10 best times, frequency of use. Not to mention an indication when a route is no longer viable - temporarily or permanently.
Over time a rich database of star circuits would be established, and who knows, people could even go on trips just so that they can rack up the top runs.

It seems to add points back, not just 1 trip... so if you want to go mostly back before changing, you could use the There and Back... and then click the Undo last point to work your way backwards. I think it might be an equal number of points there and back, but haven't tested.

The "Complete There and Back" will retrace the route back. It doesn't have a "to here" option though.

How Can I Get a True Full Screen Image of My GMap?:
2012-06-13 22:47:34

I found: When klicking "print map" and return back (without executing the print) by clicking "Click here to return to the main window when printing is complete" I get a full-height-window map in more square ratio. It also works in full-screen-mode. It looks like a bug, but a usefull one. It should be used with a button or a choice box to switch it easier.

Elevation Graph Issue:

I have the same problem - no elevation graph showing up. I found adblocker under the tools menu on Mozilla Firefox, disabled it on the gmap-pedometer page only, got adverts popping up but still no graph! Any suggestions please? Also, I can't get the pointers (the red balloons) to attach to my routes. Apologies if I seem a total numpty!Someone suggested it might be a javascript issue, but I don't think I have any control over this because Moz Firefox installs it automatically. I'm really keen to start logging my routes so any info will be very gratefully received!
Pull latest Google Map information?:

This isn't a high priority for me, but would it be possible to refresh the Google Map information on your site? I've used their mapmaker site to add a few paths that I use to it, and they show up on Google Maps now, but not on your site. I'm not too lazy to manually trace my route though, so this isn't a high priority... combined with the fact I have a few pending updates on Google Maps.
Love the site!

Lose weight, and the speed will follow - all those folks passing you like you're standing still are doing it primarily through a low BMI. Lower weight also leads to less stress on the joints and a more injury-free time. Monitor those shoes for wear - worn shoes are behind a lot of injuries, better to recycle them too early than too late...

Hi Paul -
Glad to see all the improvements you're making during your commute on "our laptop" :-)
A nice feature would be "Retrace Route" so if we're doing an out and back we can map all the points on the "out" and just press one button for "back". A variation on that one, a bit harder I suppose, is a "retrace to here" button so that I could put it in that mode and then click on the map where I wanted it to trace back to. At that point I can manually go off the map.
Thanks again,
ed
Swapping beginning and ending points on a mapped route?:

I second this one: I just finished to draw a long route, all off road so I had to set a lot of points by hand, and at the end I noticed I made a mistake at the very beginning. Now I have to keep it that error or redo all the hassle from start. If I could do the start/stop swap my problem will be easily solved...

OK, I've been able to reproduce, and I think I know the cause of the problem. The site had a PHP ugprade Thursday the 24, and I suspect that a changed setting is causing the issue. The hosting provider has to reverse the change, so I have contacted urgent support. I'll post again here with updates.

I'm having the exact same problem as Cylo, using my Mac and Safari. Has a solution turned up? (Waiting for an answer, I'll try a shorter route to see if that makes a difference--the one I've "lost"--it's ID and length is shown, but clicking on "edit" calls up a blank map--was 26 miles. I have an older route from last year, 30 miles, that turns up fine.) This has been a real, time-consuming pain.

But I have a long route (# is 5483823) that I have tried to save 4 times (with different Ids) - the route is stored but there is no path - the map doesn't have the roads I used.
I have tried to reduce the number of clicks, and also made sure I didn't switch onto Satellite or Terrain as I had to do the 1st couple of times.
I have some other long routes that have also stored fine in the past. This one is being especially stubborn. Just can't get it to show when I retrieve it.

Hello Paul,
I tried to make a new route.
After clicking "save", the screen darkens and I get this message:
"Working on it...
Your route has been saved. The URL for this route is http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5483571 "
Now when I put this url in a new tab in Firefox 12.0 I get the map with no route to be seen.
The strange thing is that in my "bookmarked routes" all routes are there, with ID and distance (the distance is right as far as I know) but when hitting "edit" I get an empty map.
EDIT
I did some testing.
Routes larger than aproximately 26km. will not work here.

I've tried to reproduce this with no luck. When you try to the save the route, what should be happening is that the screen darkens and you get a prompt with two choices. It should ask you to choose between saving changes to the existing route or creating a new one. Are you getting that prompt, and if so, which one are you choosing?

If you saved the route while logged in to the site, you can go to the "bookmarks" page, and choose "edit". That will take you the map page, and any changes you make there will be reflected in that bookmarked route.
If you created the route while not logged in, you can still modify it, but any changes will be saved as a new route. This is because without the benefit of login, there can be no concept of a user "owning" a route -- user B could make changes to a route created by user A if it were possible to make changes to a public route.

I want to answer Lisa's question: "what was the impetus that got you out and running?" And I'll also answer how my 10K training is going. My apologies for not replying sooner.
btw, last year at this time I couldn't run a mile and today I ran 5!!!
WooHoo! Feelin' Good!

Hi Lisa, I was beginning to think that this thread had gone cold, so it's good to see your comment. I like your training schedule, lots of variety there by the looks of it. I like mixing in gym sessions with my running schedule too. Do you make your running sessions different as well, e.g. one day some fartlek, then another do some hill work? What are the 5k's you have lined up, I'm doing the Great South Run in the autumn .. but I must say I'm nervous about tackling a ten miler.
To answer your question, the impetus that got me out there was having breast cancer when I was in my thirties, so I wanted to do something that had nothing to do with the dreary illness, and everything to do with being happy and energetic .. I trained for and ran the London Marathon in 1988 at the age of 42, not many women doing it in those days! Now, because of other commitments and far too many lapses, my running has been neglected, and I'm desperate to get back upto scratch. I want to have that wonderful heady feeling of another marathon under my belt before I reach the ripe old age of seventy in three years time.
Believe me, I guarantee that you will love it when you run yours in 2013!

Congrats to all of you! me included...but I still cringe at the *middle age" thing...suppose i better get used to it unless I plan to live until 150 :)
I too have just started running. I'll be 55 in a few months. I started with the Jeff Galloway run/walk program... I run 5 days a week with gym work mixed in...sometimes yoga, zumba and pilates...I'm now up to 5 miles on my "long" runs...I started in late January...no problems so far, but I'm taking it very slow..focusing on increasing the length of the run and not the time.
My question to all of you is....besides the health benefits, what was the impetus that got you out and running? For myself, I felt like I was at a point where I've been successful at most things in my life....couldn't find much of a challenge anywhere....so I am tackling that last frontier...challenging myself...mentally/physically. It has been that for me. I will be running a half marathon March 2013 and a couple of 5K's prior to that....and hope to run my first marathon before the end of 2013
Anyone else have a motivation other than health benefits?

I am trying to figure out "save to public" Versus "Save to account" Apparently I have chosen both, and now can't figure out how to find the "public ones" Otherwise, I see the site working much better these days. It has been very glitchy in the past. I save all my routes as screenshot images, load to my flickr page, and then add a link to the gmap route page. It's nice to have the collection of routes, WITH images, all in one place.

walking for weight loss?:
2012-02-27 23:36:18
538
I started walking 5 days a week for about an hour per walk when I was pregnant with my second child last fall. I walked for 1 month and saw incredible improvement in my muscle tone. I didn't lose weight, but I lost fat and inches and didn't gain weight that month. In the following 2 months walking, I saw continued improvement in my appearance as well as ability to chase after my other toddler (I had a lot more energy and stamina).
My advice to you is to just walk. Don't worry about calories or if it's "enough" exercise. It will improve the quality of your life by leaps and bounds. I was shocked at how effective it was (before I had kids, I was a runner and thought walking wasn't really exercise at all). My dad is also a walking success story - he had a mild heart attack and started walking. He lost 30 pounds in half a year, kept it off, and saw improved range of motion, muscle tone and energy.
You can always add in other more rigorous workouts as you get more fit. But if you are looking to improve your health, walking - consistent, most-days-a-week walking - should be a great way to get started!

Hi Joey, how's it going with your 10k training? I have a 10k booked for May too, and I'll be a shade off 67 years of age. I agree with you about training with others as a good element of the running schedule .. although running quietly on my own, early in the morning is really unbeatable as a stress-buster. I do wonder if it's not a popular time with other runners though, because I never see anyone!

walking for weight loss?:
2012-02-19 13:37:10

As a dedicated cardio nut, I was surprised at what a difference weight training made. It's not that you burn as many calories during a workout, but there are longer term effects. From what I've read, the increased muscle mass ends up burning more calories, even at rest.

I have some physical limitations that make a lot of forms of cardio difficult for me. I have begun walking but I am very disappointed with the amount of calories burned per km at the best pace I can do. I need to shed a few pounds and improve my health... and I keep hearing that walking is good for this, but I am concerned that I'd need to be walking several hours a day! Feedback?
Injury:

Tape or wrap it for support, warm up the tendon first - both literally and by stretching. Work up to it. You could consider an ATC anti-inflam or a NSAID for the walk event.
Cumulative progress!:
2012-02-18 22:54:03
528
I saw some people requesting cumulative miles in the log... I'd like to see it have a cumulative calculation as well, but I would like it to have options, like the way the chart can switch from distance to calories. I'd love to see it on the calendar. I am very motivated by seeing those burned calories and would love to see the cumulative amount adding up as the month goes by. I also know how many extra calories per month it takes, roughly, to lose weight. This would be a great feature!
problem with the calorie tracking in workout log:
2012-02-18 22:36:34
527
When I make my walking routes the calorie tracker is turned on and the numbers I get seem about right to me. I went to a couple of calorie calculation places and checked how much I should be burning, etc. The problem is when I try to enter things into the workout log. It automatically enters a number and it is off by some huge amount. Like a walk that is showing to have burned roughly 500cal is coming up as burning like 200 or 300cal. I tried letting it grab the data from my saved routes and everything. Am I doing something wrong there? Because the elevation tracking doesn't seem to work here I am already losing on my calorie counts as this is a city with a lot of hills. I know it doesn't really matter I guess but I find it motivating to see that calorie number add up!

We discovered this site about 20 min. ago, by googling: "draw path on map calculate distance". It was the top hit!
We zoomed in on our location, clicked "start recording", and after a few seconds of no luck we double-clicked, and it worked. We drew our route of yesterday's x-country ski and snowshoe trek, named it, created our work log, and we're now up and running.
Using Firefox 10.0.1 and Windows 7, if that makes any difference - and pretty ordinary MS USB mouse using default settings. As for route location - the middle of a lake in Canada, where Google Maps has no info at all except the name of the lake.
This site is brilliant - thank you so much!

Does it have something to do with geographical location? This worked fine for me in Canada and the US, but I am now trying it in Korea, where Google Maps has less functionality. My browser is Firefox 8.
(OK, I just went back and successfully created a route on the map of Canada.)
So is route-creation tied to the functionality of Google Maps in each country?

Laps?:
2012-01-28 04:01:34
505
This may be restating the previous question, but is there a way to include multiple traverses of a closed path as part of a larger "route"? The path in question is highly irregular in shape and is partially obscured by trees. All that makes for a very pleasant run, but tracing it ONCE is very tedious. After ascertaining its exact length, how do I build a one-mile run without having to retrace the path three-plus times?
draw route automatically should consider active layer:
2012-01-27 08:50:09
504
gmap-pedometer's draw route automatically feature seems to always follow the Google Map layer, even if OSM layer is selected. Instead, the active layer should be used to determine the automatic route.
For an example, See http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5272950
When clicking on the area near Woburn Reservoir or Country Club with automatic route enabled, the system will route only as far as roads exist on the Google Map layer, regardless of active layer.
OSM rendering should include trails, paths. :
2012-01-23 14:04:06
503
Trails and paths (highway=path), are missing from the OSM rendering. A good example is the area of the Middlesex Fells Reservation. On gmap-pedometer, none of the trails are rendered. In the default mapnik and osmarender settings used on openstreetmap.org, they are shown.
For example, contrast:
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5267561
and

Sorry about this problem, to you and everyone else experiencing this. I'm having a hell of a time reproducing it, so I don't yet know the cause.
At this point, the only way I can think of to isolate and reproduce this little sucker would be for me to log in under an affected account. (Once I've done that, I should be able to gather diagnostic information on the bug.)
Would someone who is having this problem be willing to give me your login information? I'd recommend you change the password to something you don't use for anything else, then tell me that low-value password in a direct email to admin@gmap-pedometer.com.

This is the first of three posts all dealing with the inability to access bookmarked routes. Apart from solving the problem, which was first raised in August 2011, and is still unresolved, can posts be numbered for ease of reference? Currently, No 20, raised by andrewduckworth, No 41 raised by shrinkerhoff and 44 posted by GSWALKER are all on the subject of unavailable bookmarked routes.
Sub Mile Markers:
2012-01-17 12:21:23

Is there a way to do custom markers? So instead of the default 1 mile or 1 km we could enter that we want a marker every .50 mi or .50 km. I am making courses for my HS athletes and it would be nice to display their routes with these additional markers since I might ask them to go for a 5 mile run, 2.5 miles out. http://www.whsxctrack.com/course-maps Thank you again for this incredible tool!

I’m just getting back into running after a bit of a hiatus and this is not the best season to start up. When I have to run on surfaces that are bumpy, slippery and/or sloppy I consider it extra training for when conditions are better. Slipping along with an inch of snow on the soles of your shoes help build up stamina. I’ve created a few routes that allow a certain amount of road running which are generally in better condition than sidewalks.

I have used pedometer successfully for some years, saving the routes to another site. I have used the g-map bookmarking facilities for some weeks, until yesterday, when I was faced with the blank screen. If I save a route I am given a route number but if I bookmark it I cannot access it again. I am computer illiterate, but are there any clues in the box which reads: gp(on a white background)http://www.gmap...com/gp/bookmark . If this is not resolved I shall have to return to my previous practice.

Hi, Doing the 'London Moonwalk' for the 6th time this year. 26.2 miles walking overnight. Sprained ankle in march last year, have had physio twice. Once on ankle then on peroneal tendon across outside base of foot. It gets to the stage where I can run 4-5 times a week and play netball with no problems but now I have started walking again it hurts again in peroneal tendon, any ideas?

Elevation gain vs elevation change:
2012-01-13 00:10:33
476
If you look below where you start your recording, towards the bottom of the page you will see "elevation". The options are either: off, small or large. I usually use small. You can turn it on after your route and it is easier to view with the "zoom shut". Hope this helps. If not maybe I can send a pic of what the page looks like.
Elevation gain vs elevation change:
2012-01-12 15:05:15
475
Where can you find out elevation changes? I know my runs are almost all hills, but I don't know how to measure the elevation changes. Is there a separate website that measures the natural topography? Or is there a function here on gmap-pedometer.com that I can use?
Google maps licensing and supporting the site?:
2012-01-11 23:16:51
474
"About the site" might be a better forum for this, but I can't post in there.
I'm not up to date on Google Maps' usage limits but reading this post:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/118383351194421484817/posts/foj5A1fURGt
makes me wonder if this has any consequences for gmap-pedometer?
On a related note: I use this site a lot and have for years and want to support it, but I don't really care about the iOS app that was recently getting pimped. So what are the best ways to support the site (outside of offering money for a mac so you can work on an iOS app that I actually don't want you to spend time on)?
Thanks for keeping this site going, Paul!

I cannot see the "bookmarked routes" :
2012-01-10 23:05:10

[This is user nathansnider posting under a different account because the forum software seems to think that it's an attack when I post under my real user name.]
I managed to "break" the bookmarks page with the new account I created, too. After saving (I think) 21 routes, I saved this one: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5249758
and then the bookmarks page for the new user was inaccessible as well. This route is a copy of one that was created by another user months ago, here: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4709659
So perhaps the error has to do with saving too many routes (though a limit of 22 seems pretty low) or something to do with the route itself.
But then I created a third account (this one, under which I'm posting) and saved a copy of the route above to the new account without any trouble. So if the bookmarks page is becoming inaccessible due to a "bad" route, the problem is something a bit more tricky than just a corrupted data point in the original or something like that. Maybe it's just a random error that occurs in the saving process, because the routes that seem to cause the problems remain accessible and don't seem to be corrupted themselves.

Same problem here. It's been inaccessible for the last week, maybe longer.
I created a new account to test whether the bookmarks page was really broken, and it worked just fine - I saved a dozen routes or so with the new account, and the page was still accessible. So it appears there's something particular to my user account and the accounts of the others who've posted here, which keeps us from seeing the bookmarks page.

Thank you all so much for your diverse advice and encouragement! I will take it all into consideration. I know that I need to strength train, stretch more and work on my form. I've also decided to focus more on TIME rather than DISTANCE at this point. I'm taking it real slow with a goal of running an hour by Feb. I'm running a 5k with a group of runners every other Saturday that is good for keeping me going during the cold months. Then I have my first 10k in May. I never dreamed I'd be able to run a 10k, and if this goes well, who knows what's next! I'm reading "Born To Run" right now -- very inspiring! Happy New Year and Happy Running!

tcardanha is right, by clicking in the calendar date (on the "number" for instance) you will be able to add as many entries as you wish.
Another way to do it, is to add a workout log for any "clear" day in your calendar and then click on the "Workout date" field to see a little calendar which let you put the "new" date, by repeating this action you will be able to add as many entries for a single day as you wish. Hope it helps you!
P.S.: tcardanha, I use to put the training sessions in order which is simple to see in the calendar. You can also use the "Notes" field to add a time-stamp for your training sessions in the same day.

Multiple Routes on One Map:

There is a guy in NY who plans to walk every street of the 5 Boroughs. I've often thought this would be a cool idea for my little burg. I would love to be able to plot each outing on one map--so I could watch it gradually "fill up"--and be able to tell at a glance which streets were unwalked... I don't think gmap- does this yet...does anyone know of a site that does?
shoe mileage:
2011-12-30 14:16:18
444
yes "shoes-life-time" option can be nice. It will be excellent if we can add the distance run in each route for the cumulative of each shoes. Obviously, there should be more than a single entry for the new feature, there are some people that use different shoes for training. It is not the same Trekking than running, if you know what I mean.
other types of workouts:
2011-12-30 14:03:37

Yeap! "Swim" is a nice option to be added into the workout type drop-down menu, but a better one is to add a feature for a write-in option.

I agree with Spartz, the calendar could be improved to show the information in a simple way (It will be excellent if the user can configure what info must be shown). The daily view could be huge if you add several training sessions a day. For instance I use to add one entry for each lap to have a good calculation of the pace.
Thanks!!!

I agree with stomper. I had pretty much given up on running because of various injuries, though not knee problems. Chi Running has allowed me to run again. Every other sport requires a lot of attention to technique, so it makes sense to pay attention to proper technique and form in running. At 56 I am running better than ever. I am starting to experiment with barefoot running which is actually very similar to Chi Running in form.

I have a question regarding the map data shown on gmap-pedometer vs. google maps.

Is the map that is shown on gmap cached in some way from a slightly older version of google maps?

Anyone interested in a challenge?:
2011-12-12 10:43:57
425
I'm hoping I can find someone that might be interested in undertaking a little challenge with me. After being a runner all my life I grudgingly bought a bike at the behest of a friend who swore I'd like it once I tried it. As much as I hate admitting he was right, he was right. The problem I found, though, was that after a couple of months I was riding a lot of the same routes and they felt stale and some of the excitement started to go out of my riding. My friend once again came to the rescue and suggested a challenge for the two of us to try.
He challenged me to ride every inch of paved, public road in the entire county, and he is doing the same in the county where he lives. We've been at it for about five months and have now begun our winter hiatus. As daunting as it seemed at first, it's now clear that we can, in fact, accomplish our goal, even if it takes a while. (We're estimating 2 more years.)
In the course of our first few months at it we've made a couple of realizations and codified a few rules. Our first realization was how many great roads we were missing by not venturing from the 'beaten path'. We've both made numerous discoveries on our rides, many within just a few miles of where we've lived our whole lives. Nature preserves and parks, scenic views, waterfalls and, in my case, the greatest penny candy store on Earth. Second, even the awful roads we've been forced to ride hold their own strange appeal. Both our counties include some urban areas and even riding the dingiest alley or most unpleasant cobblestone street is rewarding in its way. Finally, as I'm sure any experienced rider can attest, we've learned that the view is always worth the climb, and we've found views aplenty, to be sure.
So now we want some people to join us! We've truly enjoyed getting to know our counties better and better and are constantly snapping pictures of views and interesting things along the way to share with one another. We certainly never lack for good routes when other friends want to go for a ride or a run with us. We'd like to share our home counties with some other people as well, and get to know theirs too, and we think it would be cool to know there were others out there covering every road somewhere else.
Here are the rules we came up with to frame the challenge:
1. Only paved, public roads need to be ridden, with the exception (obviously) of Interstates or other highways where cyclists are not permitted.
2. You may choose 3 points to begin and end your rides. All rides must begin and end at one of those 3 points. (Home will likely be one of them.)
3. We chose to purchase paper maps and use those as our 'bible'. If a road appears on that map it must be ridden, provided it meets the conditions of rule #1. We found the most recent, most detailed maps we could.
That's it.
We get more and more excited about this the more of it we do and are already looking forward to choosing another county when we're done with these. So we hope someone will be interested in joining us!

Hi,
I think I approached this issue from the opposite end of the spectrum, as someone who had never really done any riding but was looking for a bike that would work well for recreational riding as well as in the occasional tri.
I went with a Trek 1.1 as an entry level bike and recently upgraded to a 2.1. I've found both to be incredibly durable and functional for hard rides/races as well as more relaxed touring type rides.

Hazy Morning Run in Yaounde, Cameroon:

Yaounde is a hilly city in Central Africa - check out the elevation gain to get an idea of the ups and downs. I'd been lazy the previous few weeks, so I set off up Mont Febe this morning, a sizeable enough hill in the center of the city. Weekend mornings are when people run and walk (and ride, and even rollerblade) all over the city. The rainy season has ended, and already the air has built a viscous, brownish haze, a mix of dust, sand, exhaust and everything else that hasn't been washed from the air.

No change I'm afraid. Still no map visible when using Chrome. As far as I know I'm not behind a connection blocking facebook domains. As I say, I can see maps when I use gmap-pedometer from IE and from Firefox. I connect through the internet via Comcast Xfinity. I'm running Norton Security Suite (available free for Comcast subscribers) and I'm running something called Constant Guard (also from Xfinity) consisting of Norton Security Guard, IDENTITY GUARD, Secure Backup & Share, and XFINITY Toolbar. Other than that I can't think of anything unusual I'm running.
I guess my question would be why map access is affected in Chrome, but not in IE or Firefox.
Thanks for your response!

I think I've figured this out. I'd really appreciate if you could do a quick test and tell me if it's working now.
Long story short, there was a bug occurring when a user was behind a connection blocking facebook domains. I wasn't seeing it since I wasn't behind a firewall configured that way. I closed off facebook using my HOSTS file and was able to reproduce and fix. My sincere apologies for the disruption!
I'm pretty sure I tweaked the last-modified header so that a forced-reload won't be necessary, but if you could confirm that too, it would be a huge huge help.
Thanks for the bug report!

Long story short, there was a bug occurring when a user was behind a connection blocking facebook domains. I wasn't seeing it since I wasn't behind a firewall configured that way. I closed off facebook using my HOSTS file and was able to reproduce and fix. My sincere apologies for the disruption!
I'm pretty sure I tweaked the last-modified header so that a forced-reload won't be necessary, but if you could confirm that too, it would be a huge huge help.
Thanks for the bug report!

Nothing specific, but I'm 40 I've had the ACL on both of mine replaced plus cartilage repairs on both as well. So my knees ache a lot.
First off, I am not a doctor. but my best advice is to listen to your body... If you're out on a run and your knees start aching (like mine did today) take a break and walk a while. If you start having sharp pains, stop immediately and have someone come pick you up; if it doesn't go away see a Dr.
The more you treat your body with respect the more you will be able to do.
The stronger you legs get the more support they will give your knees; because, as I see it, your large muscles are shock absorbers for your body.
like you I started running again at about the same time, more like July for me. Following this self prescribed advice I have not been sidelined due to my knees. Plantar fascitis, knocked me down about a month ago so I had to take some time off but it wasn't my knees. Since restarting running I have run a trail 5k, 10k, and a Ragnar with no problems with my knees. Hoping to keep it that way:)

Road Missing from Route:
2011-11-21 21:11:56

I live in the 44147 zip code, and Broadview Road (Route 176) has sections that are no longer available to map a course on. If I try to route a course on that road, it sends me on a long detour, and sometime tries to route me to nearby, parallel roads, as if portions of Route 176 do not exist. This worked several months ago, and seemed to stop working more recently. There was a recent construction project on Route 176 that made it a one way street for a period of time. I am not sure if the construction project might somehow have disabled selecting Route 176 as a navigable course. Unfortunately for me, I live along Route 176, so I am unable to use that mapping if Route 176 is not recognized.

Ok...I tired the fix and it does not work either...however the record function works fine on my iphone. Thus, it is probably an environmental issue. ISP, Proxy server or something like that. I a guessing that some script or something is being blocked, and as such when you click on the button, there is nothing for it to execute. Like I said, it works fine with safari on the smart phone, but wont work with chrome, firefox or IE on my work machine. I am pretty sure it is good at home, just not at work.

I'm glad to hear you're using the workout log for your historical data too! It is supposed to automatically populate any date you click on the calendar interface when you bring up the "new entry" page by clicking a date on the calendar. Is that not working for you?
But it is true that after you save the workout, the calendar will default back to the current month, which isn't the best experience in cases where you're entering a workout from a different month. It makes sense to have the calendar view show you the month containing the date you just entered. I'll add that to the feature roadmap.

Sorry about that bug. It has since been fixed.
If it's still happening for you, do a "forced reload": hold down the "shift" key while pressing the reload button (or use ctrl-shift-r).
A forced reload tells the browser to fetch fresh copies of all pages, even ones that may have been previously cached. If the error is hanging around, it's a result of a buggy version of the page having been cached, and the force reload will clear it out.

Hi Joey, first off congratulations on the pursuit of your goals. I've just hit 45 and started running (again) about 1.5 years ago.
To save your knees you may want to consider Trail Running (or Fire Road Running), the impact on your knees is less as dirt and sand tend to give way.
Shoes that I recommend (my personal experience) are the Nike Lunarglide as they tend to really cushion your foot stomp.
Also something to consider, get strong on the trails (hill climbing and adjusting to the variable terrain) and your 5 & 10k road (street) runs will be that much easier.
Make sure to get your rest too!

What a coincidence, joey365, I am pushing 50 too. :) So you've been running since May-- has it been going okay? You say you feel good, but are worried about your knees. If you're feeling good so far, then maybe you don't have anything to worry about. It could be you run naturally lightly, and aren't the kind of person that tends to hurt themselves.
I was not one of those people. About 10 years ago I got horrible knee pains that pretty much robbed me of any enjoyment of running. Then I went on this long journey to try to not hurt. Here's my experience:
1) Exercises from a physical therapist helped a little.
2) Then I tried learning a more "natural" running form, where you make shorter, faster steps, but do not land on your heel. I recommend this. There are many different schools of natural style running. I learned "chi running" but there are others. That helped a fair amount, pretty much eliminating pain, but did not make running enjoyable-- there was too much technique to remember.
3) Finally I just went off the deep end and started running barefoot. That is, literally barefoot and not with "barefoot shoes". Though this sounds nutty, going truly barefoot teaches you to be much lighter on your body, and my knees have not bothered me since. And it's been a lot more fun since really there is not that much technique to remember.
Anyway I don't expect most people to go the barefoot way. Learning a "natural" running style is my recommendation.
If you [i]are [/i]curious about barefooting, be especially cautious about wearing the "barefoot shoes" you may have heard about, since runners without experience tend to keep heel striking in them.
Good luck!

reorder bookmarked routes and edit titles in 'bookmarked routes':
2011-11-12 16:45:04
351
I've made a made a lot of routes and my list of bookmarked routes is getting bigger and bigger.
I've made two kinds of routes. One is the routes I am going to run for my upcoming races. The other are my personal routes. But the list has become kind of messy now.
Is it somehow possible to reorder routes in my list of bookmarked routes?
Another request is whether it is possible to edit titles/descriptions on the bookmarked routes page, without having to go to the maps first.
Thank you and keep up the good work!
How To Re-open Saved Routes?:
2011-11-12 06:26:36
350
Yes, the above are all correct. The only way to open a saved route within this program is via the EDIT link which is unfortunate since moving along the route with a mouse, dragging the map to view will sometime lead to another route addition, thereby calling for the "undo last point" use.
I have all my saved routes in a browser favorites folder to avoid this issue but it would seem prudent to add a link to the actual route for viewing only within the member "saved routes" section. Simply making the name of the route a hotlink sans editing seems rather easy. It would make the program more functional. The only other rather glaring issue is the use of the completed maps on your Android/iPhone, a somewhat cumbersome affair to say the least.

54 year old male here, started running at 49½, still getting better at running (6 'halfs' in 2011). The biggest lessons I have learned:
take it [b]very[/b] easy increasing distance. Keep a log of some kind. Recovery from injury takes WAY too long at our age -- avoid getting injured. Running form really, really matters -- get a coach and learn to run properly. Distance first, then speed. Long, slow runs need to be SLOW. A good physiotherapist is worth the expense many times over. Get off the pavement as much as possible. Avoid injury -- did I mention that? Speed comes if you keep working. Vary the workouts -- doing the same route/workout repeatedly will cause you to plateau. Every other month, take a week off, or at least do HALF the distance you did the previous week. Almost all running injuries are self-inflicted, and avoidable (without quitting running).

Absolutely nothing on the panel to indicate that one fixes points by double-clicking. Nothing.

Why do the designers think we should tune in psychically?
I expected the map to stay fixed, once I clicked "record". Then I tried to trace a route.
No, that just moves the map. It seems the site is broken; many visitors will just give up at that point.
I'm also puzzled why, if I search for British Library, it goes to Hyderabad.
Otherwise, it's a great site!

I also have problem. This is exactly what I do - click the "Start Recording" button and click on the map. Nothing happens.
Tried with double click, single click, holding some buttons on the keyboard - nothing helped. What happens when I double click is that the map gets centered to the place I've double clicked. Single click - does not do anything. And just to be sure that I'm not moving the mouse (and actually dragging the map) - tested with mouse in the air - still the same.
I believe it may be related to installed environment. What does this site needs more than browser? I guess also java script, but I do have that.
My browser is firefox 3.6.23, but I tested this also with internet explorer - same behavior.

No, it doesn't work the way it used to! It doesn't work AT ALL. Click 'start recording', double-click your starting point - NOTHING. Double-click some other point, the map only jumps a bit.
SO, it either didn't start recording, OR it doesn't register the double-clicks, period!!!! Something's wrong...

I checked out all the solutions and yet than the charts will not appear. I'm using IE9, but I also installed Google Chrome and Firefox browser and the problem still remains.
Anyone have a solution for this problem, cause I'm searching for days now and it's verry anoying.
Kind regards,
P
Ps.: Sorry for my bad English (Belgium)
Bookmarked routes:

I'm having the same problem. I created a new screen name & pssword then I was able to save routes again. Saved about 5 or 6 now I'm locked out - "server cannot be accessed" I think. Same situation as before - so it makes me think there's a limit to how much data you're allowed to save.
Elevation Gn misprinted in workout calendar:
2011-11-03 00:54:21
332
For my cycling routes with an elevation gain of more than a thousand feet, in the workout calendar screen, the small detail will drop all significant figures to 1 digit. So for example my 3200 elevation gain route (which is recorded right when you open the detail of the log) only says El Gn: 3.00 ft. Weird.
Thanks,

Off-Road Routes?:

330
How do I record a route that does not follow a mapped street or road? Fr example, hiking or canoeing on trails and rivers, or even city park paths? At work, it would be useful for measuring the lengths and elevations of all kinds of features of interest on the Google Maps aerial photos, but not mapped.

What does unit is 'Pace' in?:
2011-11-01 11:33:45

i usually use minutes per mile. my default pace is 8:00 minutes per mile, which would be 7.5 miles per hour. it's just more convenient with min/mile, but whatever works!
Open street map updates?:

How often does gmaps pedometer update from open street map? For instance, the running trails in the vicinity of: Joann Ave, Clifton, Dauphin, Pennsylvania, 17036 are seen in open street map but not in gmaps pedometer. Thanks,
Adding older data:
2011-10-28 11:07:04
326
I didn't start using the workout log until August, and now I'm trying to enter in my data from the beginning of the year from the paper calendar I was using. When I click on a date and add the data and save it, the next webpage goes back to today's date. It is annoying to have to then go back on the calendar and search for the date from a few months ago. Any way around this?
Swapping beginning and ending points on a mapped route?:
2011-10-27 19:12:05
325
The site has been enormously useful since I began walking regularly two years ago after my heart attack. I have about 45 different paths around my neighborhood saved and bookmarked.
Wanted to suggest what might be a straightforward feature - a button that would reverse a path on the screen - same path, but the first point is now the last point, and vice versa. This would be helpful if one wanted to add to or change the beginning of a path. Right now it's easy to change the end of a path, just by deleting the last point(s) or clicking on new points. But there's no way to change the *beginning* except by starting over.
Any chance of this making it onto the site?

It would be great to be able to import files from Google Earth or Google Maps. Yes, it's true you can get much of the same information in Google Earth (and more), but frankly the user interface is better in gmap-pedometer. Among other things, I like seeing the miles/km markers.

There are several points during my regular walks that won't map properly. e.g. today I walked the perimeter of the World Trade Center/Commonwealth pier only the map pins refuse to follow that route. Going around the ICA also it automatically back-tracks and pins a point other than where I walked and where I'm trying to click. It's telling me I walked close to 6 miles but I'm rather sure it's more like 4. Anyway, I mostly love this product and find it a wonderful free tool, so I thank you for that. Debugging Boston, a beautiful, walking city, would make us really happy! Thanks!

The OpenStreetMap overlay works quite well for smaller paths. However, you'll have to track the route manually when you leave the streets covered by Google Maps.

Clear air, windless and cool weather with stunning rolling countryside. By the half-way point I had passed two cars and three horses then stopped briefly to pick up a couple of apples from a cottage with a 'help yourself' sign before more empty lanes back home.
It doesn't get better than this.

Import routes from GMAPS:
2011-10-16 23:09:58
295
Hi,
this one might be trivial. I have been preparing my courses using gmaps. Some way or another, using the bicycle routing algorithm I am able to get it to give me the routing I am looking for. This site, although really great, still lacks the ability to route like Gmaps does today: in other words creating a cycling route between 2 points may not give the same result on this site and gmaps and I have observed gmaps seems to have better luck at find bike specific routes.
Now, that is understandable, it's tough to keep up with gmaps ever changing API and routing features.
What would easily reduce this a non issue, though, it if there where to be a way to import Gmaps' routes. I mean, Gmaps is already fully capable of exporting a link that contains all the info needed, it only we could copy-paste that link into gmap-pedometer and get the same route it would be fantastic. I would have the capability of storing my routes systematically on gmap-pedometer, get the mileage visually (great feature!) with the miles markers, get the altitude visually (thing that although Gmaps API offer, really lacks at their site), as well as the calorie counter.
Since I know sites like GPSVisualiser (http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/) are already capable of the same thing (for elevation profile only, though, which I think it is really limiting) I don't think it would be too hard to do... It uses the same APIs, after all. I may be horribly wrong and I apologize if I am making this sound much easier that it actually is.
Thanks for the works so far.
Michele

I've seen other people on the message board saying the same. What browser/OS are you using?
There have been new changes released recently, though they shouldn't affect that page. Nonetheless, try a forced reload -- hold down "shift" while clicking the reload button on the bookmark page -- and let me know if that helps.

The map has always recentered upon double-click. All the core features have stayed the same for a long time:
- use the standard map controls to pan and zoom the map.
- when you want to start recording distance, click "start recording"
- thereafter double-click to drop new points.
- click "save" to save the map to the database, either in an account you create on the site, or as a public route not associated with an account.
Are you finding any of those steps are not working?

It still works the way it used to, click "start recording" to begin marking your route. Thereafter double-click to mark the next point in your route. Are you finding that doesn't work?

How is it that you can't get it to work? Does the map appear? Are you able to drop a marker? Are you getting results when you search using the text box?
And what do you see when you go to the bookmarks page? Is there an error page, does the page load but the bookmarks don't show?
Please provide the browser and OS you're using as well.
BTW, it may help to do a "forced reload" by holding down the shift key while hitting the reload button. Sometimes old versions of the code get cached and cause problems at time of deployment of new features.

Lots of people agree with you: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/gp/forum/topic/view/3/default-starting-location
And funny you should ask: that feature was added this morning! To save a default location:
- make sure you're logged in (login is required, so I know which account to save the default location for)
- click the "profile" link at the top
- use the small map widget to choose your location. You can search by address/city name using the text box, or just navigate the map and click to drop a point.
Thereafter, the map will show your default location as long as you're logged in!

How can I get this to save my starting point? Each day I have to click a million times to get to my location to begin my tracking. Since I'm always starting from the same spot, I would love to be able to save that starting point.

[b]DONE![/b]
I am pleased to announce that I just released this, the most asked-for feature since the reboot of the site!
It will take a little while for the change to propagate through the DNS network, so if you don't see it, try again a little later you should get it,
To set your default location, log in and go to the "profile" page. The UI should be pretty self-explanatory. Thereafter you will be defaulted to the location you chose as long as you are logged in to the site.

OSM-based routing would be really nice.
CloudMade has a routing API for this, which is used by bikehike.co.uk. Maybe it could be integrated into gmap-pedometer, too?

As pointed out by pigah, OSM has many interesting paths for runners that google maps doesn't know about.

new / first road bike:
2011-10-07 15:22:37
265
I can't help but second the comment from ssaba... If you want to do triathlons but also plan to ride 'for fun' or just around town I would get a road bike. They are much more comfortable and universal than a triathlon focused bike.
Finally, your actual question, I don't have a personal preference for manufacturer but I recommend trying to get into a "105" level component group. It is a step up from the Sora / Tiagra components and I really think it is worth the slight cost increase.
If you are on a tighter budget try to find a used bike on craigslist or buy a clearance "last year's model" in the fall or early spring. Of course you also need to make sure whatever you buy fits you properly.

I have used gmap-pedometer for years, tracing out my runs after I did them. And I still do this occassionally.
However, I also use Google's MyTracks on my Android phone, which saves all my routes to Google Maps "My Places".
So now I have some of my routes there and some at random URLs here.
How do I take a gmap-pedometer route and put it into Google Maps My Places?
Thanks.

This is an extremely frustrating aspect of this site! You spend a good amount of time mapping a run, then it asks you to login to save it--which i do, but the process of logging in apparently loses all of the work of creating a map (with no warning). Also new maps get lost if you use forward and back buttons, the page locks up... I like the features of this site, but i really have the feeling that it's not created with users in mind, more like an experiment in web apps. Please fix these useability bugs!

Forest Park Half Marathon (Portland, OR):
2011-10-04 15:40:42
254
Just logged the course for the inaugural Forest Park Half Marathon:
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com?r=5122501
This is a very beautiful and challenging route through Portland's Forest Park. The lines might be a bit sloppy but the distances are fairly accurate. If the calculations are correct, it packs in more than 4300' of climbing, ranging from 150' to 1030' in elevation.
It begins at Lower Macleay Park / Balch Creek trailhead and climbs at a good rate along the Wildwood Trail for the first 5K, then descends rapidly to Leif Ericson Drive via the Wild Cherry Trail.
The next 5K (West on Leif Ericson) is a fairly neutral stretch along a wide gravel & dirt road. The route then turns steeply uphill on Firelane #1 until it reconnects with the Wildwood. Turn left and follow the trail back to the southeast.
Just after the 9-mile mark, head left on Dogwood uphill, then right on Wild Cherry after another 1/2 mile. When WIld Cherry reconnects with Wildwood, turn right and head back the way you started for the last 5K.
Good luck and enjoy the ride! And watch out for slugs and salamanders...
Elevation gain vs elevation change:
2011-10-04 13:36:32
253
Elevation gain represents the total distance climbed. Any descents are ignored when calculating elevation gain.
Elevation change is simply the difference in elevation at the end of your route compared to the beginning.

I usually go for a walk around my neighborhood every morning, and I never have a route mapped out ahead of time. Because the morning is not my best time of day, I don't always remember to wear my pedometer; and it was hard to keep track of my distance.

Time taken and pace are calculated over in the Workout Log feature. Click over to that section of the site, then click the date of your workout in the calendar that appears. When you get to the form where you enter your workout information, you'll have fields to enter time taken and you'll be able to choose the route you ran from a dropdown.
Since you'll have entered your time and distance, the pace will be automatically calculated.

Thanks, I'll add that to the list.
In the meantime, you can accomplish the same goal by simply pulling up your old route, then hitting the "save" button when the page loads. Since your older routes predate the bookmark feature, the new system isn't aware of them, but as soon as you hit "save" they will be entered into the new tables.
You would have to do this for every old bookmarked route you have, and I confess that it's inconvenient. But it would be a one-time inconvenience.

Greetings,
I'm female, pushing fifty and have been running since May of this year. I'm signing up for 5Ks to keep myself going and I hope to run a 10K in May. I feel good, but my biggest concern is my knees. Any advice on how to keep my knees strong and healthy? Specific supplements, exercises or stretches you can share with me?
Appreciate your help, because I don't want anything to stop me!

Great site, love the new additions! Figured I would chime in on a few things which I would like to see.
1. In the forum it would be nice if the posts were ordered by the most recent post and then chronologically backwards from there. As it is currently displayed the newest post could be 3/4 of the way down the page and a post that hasn't been updated in a month at the very top.
2. Additional information on our profile, possible total miles, average pace, etc? It would be interesting to see what others runners do, maybe a place to add your favorite route?
3. Markers along the route. I would love to be able to set up additional markers along the route besides just the mile markers. Quite often I will have certain points (say corner of Street A to end of Street B) and use that for pacing purposes within a longer run. While its not hard to track these distances by noting the distance at the start and end it would be nice to put it on the map with the distance between displayed.

I did my first tri on a rigid mountain bike with a set of slicks on it, so I understand where you're coming from. I've been a mountain biker my whole life and when I got into triathlons, I quickly realized I needed to get a road bike. I purchased a Trek 2.1 with Shimano 105 components in 2010 and have been very happy with it. I didn't want a specialty TT/Triathlon bike because I wanted to use it for racing, as well normal road riding (and I didn't have the budget for both). I also looked at the Specialized Allez. Hope this helps. I've competed in 4 triathlons.

Link Slow to Load :
2011-09-11 10:14:47
212
If I've created a route and saved it, http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5074397 for example, then copied it into a forum, cycle chat for example, we find that clicking on the link takes us to gmap OK but then the route is slow to load, this problem has appeared since you revamped your site, before that it always was quick to load.
Bike path overlay:
2011-09-10 18:20:45

This would be great. I frequently use bike/walking paths in my city more than roads, which makes entering a route accurately on Gmaps a challenge.
error with elevation data?:
2011-09-10 12:12:43
210
I can confirm, there is an error with the elevation gain
route 5072032 is calculated to have an elevation gain of over 1000meter. True value is somewhere between 200-300m. Would be nice if this can be fixed, since I am using this value for my training.
PS: In the meantime I found a workaround using Firefox: By disabling the AdBlock Plus Addon for the gmap-pedometer web site, thus allowing ads and banners to be displayed, also enables the popup of the elevation profile. It takes some seconds until all elevation data are processed. If I then save the route, I obtain a reasonable value for the elevation gain. Maybe when saving the route before all elevation data are processed completely, incorrect elevation gain results. Just a guess. When proceding as described above, all is working for me now.

error with elevation data?:
2011-09-05 16:49:24
194
First let me say that this is a great resource! There seems to be a problem with the elevation data. For example route ID=5061680 is a climb (no downhill) with 421 ft elevation gain according to Google Earth. However gmap-pedometer gives the elevation change as 321 ft and the gain as 1132 ft. The profile plot also has several spikes which are not real and may account for the large elevation change? Anyway hope you can find the bug and thank you for providing this useful tool!

Guys, great gadget here, thanks a lot! I just found the site and verified my 32k slow running route with it (Frankfurt Marathon is coming up end of October), which I sort of guesstimated this morning with a printed map and a ruler, adding centimeters to get total km via the scale. Much nicer doing this with gmap. Greetings to all and "dankeschön" from Germany.

Elevation Change:
2011-09-04 05:31:32
186
Not a silly question at all, and gives me a chance to test my understanding.
Elevation change is the difference between the elevation at your starting point and at your finishing point. If you start and finish at the same place, this should be zero! The Boston Marathon would have a negative elevation change because the elevation in Hopkinsville is higher than that in Boston.
Elevation gain is how much your route rises during the run. Running a track will have zero gain, while running a hilly route will total the uphill distances during your run/ride. I don't think this can be negative: it only accumulates increases in elevation.
Confirmation?

Paul - I've used and appreciated gmap for years. Now that I'm living in Africa, your site is key to giving me an accurate idea of how far I'm running - and I appreciate the elevation features so much because it's very hilly here (and 2000 m). I had been saving the URL of past routes, and have now been retrieving them, then saving the into my account. It's been fun retracing my footsteps, thanks to your goodwill. I'll buy something from a sponsor, on general principle

Reason for Missing Elevation Data:
2011-09-02 15:51:46
177
I am using Firefox 6 and was initially unable to see the elevation chart once the new version of the site was released, however it did work in Chrome. It appears that the script for the elevation was being blocked by AdBlock Plus along with the ads at the bottom of the screen. When I disabled ad block plus (or more specifically blocking of the necessary script) the elevation data reappeared. This does cause a reduction in the size of the map shown in the brower window.

You don't have to create an account. When you click "save" while in a non-logged-in state, note that there are two buttons, "save to account" and "save as public". "save as public" means that the route is not associated with a user account.
I gather that you have created an account since you're posting to the message board, so remember to click "log out" before attempting to save a route as public.
I made a big point of maintaining this ability in the course of developing the new features.

This map http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5007004 is around the Charles River in Boston, and it says it has an elevation gain of 419 ft. I'm guessing that's wrong, since it's basically a flat route. (For reference, the same route recorded on mapmyride.com says there's only a 89' gain, although even that's clearly wrong, because they report a max elev of 54', even though the graph clearly doesn't go above 40'.)
Anyways, thought I should report what appears to be a bug. :)

I'd like to escape the Garmin workout, Garmin Connect, and GMaps triangle. Too may places to record data.

Elevation Data:
2011-08-24 10:43:23

Elevation change incorrect?
I saved a new route today, and it shows a gain of 124 ft, but a change of 0. This hints that the change is related to the start and end points. If the start and end are the same, then the elevation change will be zero. This data has no value at all.
How about two figures, elevation gain (highest relative elevation achieved) and elevation decline (minimum relative elevation achieved)?
Elevation Data:
2011-08-24 04:24:22
124
Once you save your route, you have to click on "bookmarked routes" at the top of the page. The next page you see is a list of all your bookmarked routes, and it's on that page that you'll see elevation data listed on the right side of that list. You still won't see elevation data when you're actually looking at the map of the route.

Issue adding a bookmarked route to my workout log:
2011-08-22 11:15:03
117
I did this successfully yesterday, but today I seem to have a problem with my route or something to do with using the bookmarked route. Essentially, when I choose my newest bookmarked route the workout log page updates the information (like distance and calories) and then when I hit the Save button, the page reloads with a red 'Invalid' marker under the distance field. The distance says 1.6 and my bookmarked distance is 1.5988, but I tried overriding the distance with my more specific number, and then the page reloads to a symphony load error page. I've tried on google chrome, and mozilla firefox (newest versions for both). I'm not sure what the problem is here. I've tried more than 3 times.

Please forgive me if i have not found this feature yet. When use USATF site you can search their routes to see ones in your area. Your site is much better than theirs to make routes and map them and a bigger map area to add. If there was a way to search all the routes, at any time even without logging in. And ability to search by name, city, state, or mileage.
different color points for start and finish:
2011-08-21 05:18:40

When you save a route or during a route the start point should be green and the finish point red, right now they both are red which could be improved by making the start green to better understand routes for anyone looking at it that did not make the route themselves.

The elevation info (small or large) seems to be broken now for Firefox 5 (also 6). It does work in Chrome, but I notice in Chrome that the elevation window has a different appearance, so I think that it just wasn't tested with Firefox before it was released.

Mile/Km Splits :
2011-08-17 17:50:27

I dont know if this is even possible with the google maps API but It would be awesome to be able to record split time data for every mile or Km and then see pace data per mile or color code the route line based on pace.
Im a web developer/runner addict myself who is looking to get into doing some work with the google maps api for a personal project similar to this. It would be nice to know what is currently possible with the API. Is there a lot of flexability?
Elevation Data:

I really appreciate the elevation data, however, as of yesterday it has stopped working. Even my bookmarked routes are missing this data. Hopefully it starts working again soon. (The summaries are still there on the bookmark page, it's the graph that's missing from the map page)
Routing based on OSM data:
2011-08-17 15:35:50
93
In many parts of the world, OSM data are better than or competitive with google data. Especially impressive for this application is the collection of foot and bicycle paths in the database. I think that Mapquest has APIs that would be suitable for use on this site (http://developer.mapquest.com/web/products/open). It would be awesome if we could route with those data and folks using this awesome site would be encourage to make OSM better!

Right. It's a pedometer, not a route planner. It will use whatever roads are the most direct route between your points. In this case, I'd say the bug is just the old "user error bug".

Elevation Change Information for Workout Logs:

Cool improvements to site! But... if you look at the workout calendar or table, the elevation gain and elevation change columns always read 1.00ft. If you go into a specific workout, the elevation information is correct. This would not be a big deal but if one wishes to plot their daily elevation information, the result is a flat line at Elevation Gain = 1ft versus time regardless of what the actual information logged into the daily workouts is. Thanks!

Tagging on saved routes?:

You've opened a can of worms with this Feature Request forum, huh? :) You should add some way we can donate to the site - I've used this for years and love it (perhaps something is here already and I'd just like it to be more obvious?)
My request: I've bookmarked hundreds of routes using delicious (http://delicious.com/slipperyp/route) and tagged them by distance (distances (under10, over10, over20) or when it's the course for a race as "race" and wanted to add "travel" for routes when I'm travelling). I'd love to see this same organization here through tagging or some other feature.

Auto-zoom on current location + saved default workout log:
2011-08-15 17:36:33
48
Hello, thank you very much for this very good site. Here are a couple of features which would be useful:
- Auto-zoom to current location. I always run around relatively the same area. Would there be any way to automatically zoom on this location (i.e. zoom on the city). I know there is a way the computer "knows" where you are because sometimes when I go on blogs or whatever and they have a tracker of visitors it says: XYZ from LOCATION just visited. Or on other sites: "chat with sexy singles in YOUR LOCATION". So there is a way and I'm wondering if you are able to adapt it to this site.
- I like looking at my workouts by list. However, it always reverts to Chart. Would there be a way that once you're in "list" view (or whichever you like) to have a button "set as default".
Thanks for this wonderful site. Just thought I would add my suggestions.

It would be nice if distance in the charts could be split apart by type of activity. e.g. It would be nice to know total distance ran and biked separately as they are not equivalent.
Additionally, on the calendar, different types of workouts could be different colors to aid in quickly seeing which workouts were associated with each type of activity.
Total elevation gain:
2011-08-15 10:49:00
46
A cumulative elevation total for the route would be more interesting than the difference between beginning and end of route. I generally do loops from home, so my elevation gain is always "0"
other types of workouts:
2011-08-15 10:44:44

I agree. "Swim" would be useful for triathletes. "Other" would be useful for many.
Elevation Data:
2011-08-15 10:25:09

Can I add an additional question? Is it possible to extract the distance and height data, all the way along the route, in the form of a table, to allow me to create a chart in excel to show the elevation? ie to create something similar to the little route elevation chart that appears below the map. Alternatively, can the current chart be increased in size and the scales adjusted to make it possible to read off the actual elevation for any point along the route?

Thanks for the bug report, and thanks to everyone else for helping out your fellow user!
It's obvious this feature was a little too hidden. I was trying to set defaults to save as much space as possible, but with the new "zoom shut" feature, that's not quite as critical as it used to be!
I have changed the code tonight, so that the name and description fields now default to being on. I know you guys already figured it out, but now it'll be there for the next user!

I just wanted to say to everyone: Thanks! I always have fun working on the site. (I'm nerd, I groove on coding...)
But there's nothing like seeing all the time and effort I've put in for the last [ahem mumble mumble] months being used by you guys!
Thanks again for all the support and kind words, you guys are the best!
And Ozzie, congratulations on being the very first user in the database!

Agreed on awesome. Every feature I always thought, "Gee, wouldn't it be neat if gmap-pedometer had..." is now here--along with things I'd never have thought of.
Elevation Data:

If you save the route and then click on "bookmarked routes" total ascent and change will be marked.
USGS 7.5'topo maps:
2011-08-14 12:53:33
36
I have found that the 7.5' (most detailed) USGS topo maps are missing for some areas. Can this be fixed?
To see what I mean jump to "vermillion valley, ca" at zoom level 14 and switch to topo view. The topos are present for the left hand side but not the right hand side.

It'd be great if I could specify the order in which my bookmarks appear. Right now, I think it's sorted by mapID.
Elevation Change:
2011-08-14 09:46:10
32
Probably a silly question, but what does the elevation change tell us ? if negative, was there more downhill sections on your route than up hill ? also, just to say i'm really impressed with this program, thanks !

I think when you save the route in a work out log it tells you the elevation gain and elevation change

On the technical side, if you have old routes you want to name, open them up and you will see the field now to turn on the name and description. Make sure you click on 'save route' again so it saves the name and description. On the naming side: I usually give my routes the name of the starting place. My group has about 4-5 places we start our routes from and then I put the number of miles for that route. Makes it easy when I need to find it. It's up to you how you want to name your route. Have fun.

Yay! I was just thinking to myself how I wished there was a workout log I liked where I could save my mapped runs (before I'd always use gmaps pedometer to figure the distance then just log it through another site). I know there are sites were this was already possible, but was not happy with any of them. Looking forward to using this one.

How To Re-open Saved Routes?:
2011-08-13 21:52:06

How do you re-open saved routes? The only way I can find is by clicking 'Edit'. That can't be right. I have many routes of different lengths and variations. I just want to look at them not edit them.

khannibal is right. you can give an english name in the drop down field where you click 'Start Recording'. it's a couple of lines above Elevations. there's a name text field there.

I've got the same question - how to add name to a route?
Default starting location:
2011-08-13 15:49:12

There is a workaround for that. Open the map where you want your start point, start recording, place your first point at your home then create a link for that 'route' and bookmark that link as your main gmap ped bookmark. Then every time you open gp your start point will already be there :-)

I'm not interested in elevation (I live in holland and it's pretty flat over here!) I would like the option to remove these features to give the calendar a simpler feel.
The formatting of the calendar could be improved as well. Less information should be displayed when looking at the calendar from a monthly perspective (the 'notes' section should only be displayed in daily or weekly views.
Other than that, I think this is a great tool!
Good Work!

I've wanted this for soooo long, and I bet tons of other people want it too.
Similar to how google maps or bing can zoom easily with the scroll wheel.
I know double clicking is already in use for the point marking with this site, so there should definitely be an easier way of zooming without having to go over to the zoom bar and click

I was wondering the same thing. I don't see how to name the route either.
cycling to recover from a stroke?:
2011-08-13 12:16:55

I had a stroke a week ago, not a massive one apparently, and can still walk, though not for long or far yet. But I'm a very keen cyclist and wonder if anyone else out there has tried getting back on the bike after a stroke? I haven't spoken properly yet to a physiotherapist, but someone at the hospital suggested I should start first on a static exercise bike. Any tips? I'd like to put my progress updates here on gmap-pedometer, so would be nice to share feedback from others in similar condition. Give ourselves a challenge and hopefully inspire each other! I'm 'only' 52 by the way, and otherwise very fit and healthy. The stroke took me totally by surprise, had only just completed a cross-country ride around SE England a couple of days before in fact - glad it didn't happen when I was on my bike! Please let me know your experiences, including suggested routes (I live in Sidmouth, Devon, so very hilly around here, but great for whizzing downhill after the long slog up!

It would be great if there was an option to set the default start location (for instance, for someone who almost always starts riding from home, instead of having to type in their home address every time the map could automatically center there on load)
