Hey there -- somewhere in the village of Feock, I found myself bemused with the MapMyRun interface, and I've been experimenting with Google Pedometer instead. This works much more easily, since you can set it to follow the paths and lanes automatically, or to follow straight lines when you're running across country. You can use satellite, map or (my preferred) hybrid view.

It was pretty quick to retrace my steps at this stage, when I haven't yet run too far.


Here's the link to Google Pedometer (search location, zoom using the scale on the left and double-click to start):
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/

Important: make sure you save the route and note/bookmark the (new) url at the end of each session. Otherwise, you'll never get it back ...

Here's a link to my route so far, in run-mapping detail: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3417581.

I've also attached a zoomed-out screen grab of the whole route so far for good luck -- I'm now around 15 miles SW of St Austell, with the pretty beach at Polkerris in my sights for some early spring sunshine (or snow) next weekend.

And now, a Guinness awaits.
