Gmaps Pedometer
Don't Know if any of you have used it, but I have found it real helpful in designing new running routes.

Re: Gmaps Pedometer
It is a pretty cool tool, I have used it, too.
However I have found that measuring a route via the odometer in my car, is more accurate with regards to distance. I have measured a couple of USATF certified race courses with it and it comes up a little short when compared to the odometer. Another issue is that it does not tell you how flat/hilly a course you plot is. Still, it has its place.
