Maplets

I recieved a nice little map book from the Department of Transportation in the mail today. It is a booklet of national scenic byways and "All-American Roads" and it contains small maps and descriptions of beautiful and/or interesting roadways in nearly every state of the union. They are available free of charge at Byways.org and are just the right size for a glove box.

Map My Run

I've been playing around with a website I stumbled upon and it's fun. MapMyRun is a tool mostly for runners, but it's quite useful for dog walkers and hikers as well. Bascially, you pull up a map of the location you want to chart, put in your markers and the site calculates the distance. Pretty cool, eh?

I've included a map I whipped up (in about three minutes) of Eden Park. I'm not sure if the distance takes into account elevation or if it is "as the crow flies." To the FAQmobile, Robin!
