I got a link to this from a coworker of mine and I think it's f'n awesome!!! Was too good to pass up and not to share with my fellow TAs. This is really excellent especially if you are a runner, cyclist, or doing any kind of sport where you need to calculate your distance!!!

You can map routes and calculate exact distance...it also tells you the distance between the points you set. For example you want to do a 10K run but have no idea exactly how much is 10K...
Or a gf of mine and I went for a run the other day and we guesstimated the distance - but now we can tell for sure. I also calculated how much I drive every day - 86km
It also tells you the elevation in the area where you're going which is pretty impressive.

No...you can calculate distance if you're entering directions and it calculates it for you between 2 points. You also don't have much of a choice when it comes to the directions it gives you...you can have 100 different points in this online tool...

Pretty cool little tool. Never realised it was only 30km from my house to downtown... it always seemed like so much more!!
