Running

Before Google Maps and Gmaps Pedometer I found it hard to run while travelling, except for the occasional fitness room treadmill. It always made me angry to get lost or end up running in a bad neighborhood. Now I can map out a reasonable route using the satellite pictures to get an idea of what type of neighborhood I'll be passing through. Here I collect a few of those runs. Remember you can zoom in-out and use the mouse to pan left-right-up-down.
