This is way cool: http://www.webdevref.com/wjr/. It’s a web app that works with google maps to measure distances. It’s billed as a running/jogging/exercise thing, but some of us actually walk to get to places, and its useful for us too.
You can zoom in and get pretty exact. My walk to work is 1.18 miles according to this thing. .04 miles to the bar where we play trivia.
Which we tanked at last night.
