Even better than the real thing: Gmaps Pedometer

Gmaps Pedometer is the coolest tool I’ve seen in a while. Focused on a small task, the Pedometer delivers a better-than-real-world experience. And my running commute is 3.263935141910354 miles long. New feature idea: allow me to plug in a time for the distance travelled, and spit out a pace. That’s more interesting than a calorie counter, as energy use is widely variable by terrain and individual. But it’s cool as is, and cheaper/lighter than carrying a device compatible with MotionBased.
