Another Neat Use for Google!

RecruiterGuy checking in for a

late night post…

It’s no secret that I’m a HYOOOGH fan of The

target="_blank" title="RecruiterGuy on Google">Google. But I just recently found a neat

little thing to do with Google Maps.

I’ve been

toying with tracking my running on Google Maps so that I can

quickly see where and when and how far I’ve gone – with a bit of a twist. I’m not huge on timing

my runs in the traditional sense. I typically will just use my iPod to gauge how well I’m doing.

Hey it works for me, so I’m just going with it.

Anyhow – take a quick look at how I’m

using Google Maps to “map” my

progress, times, and distance. I’m not sure if anyone else is doing something similar – I’d be

hard pressed to believe this is completely original, but I won’t lie to you and say that I’ve

bothered to look either. (click here – WordPress seems

to really frown on the iframes I was trying to embed.) Be sure to take a sec and zoom down to see

the running paths and distances entered with each journal.

Okay, so I’m not sure why I

think this is so great but gimme a few days to marinade on it. I’ll come up with a reason.

I’m wondering what other crazy uses people are finding for Google Maps.
