Another good site example for Google Maps (to calculate how far) is GPSies.com.

I was looking at the US map at Gmaps Pedometer. What kind of crazy way of doing things do they have at Google: the entire states of Indiana and New Jersey have been satellite photographed and huge swaths over other states have not been photoed at all.

And look at Ireland (all of western Europe actually): photos here and there and not other places.

This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for. As a road cyclist I’ve always wanted to chart distances for new routes before heading out.

Since the system seems to use latitude/longitude coordinates to determine distance between points, it doesn’t appear to account for distance over varying elevation (like climbing up a mountain) — but for what it does, it certainly is good enough for estimating ride distances.

Thanks for pointing out the link.
