Maps and distance

DaveB said:

Just came across this on the coolrunning site (so Dutch isn't allowed to
use it). It's free, depending on your area it has pretty good
resolutioin on the maps, and it allows you to calculate distance across
multiple points. But most importantly, as far as I can see the whole BR
route is in high res.

You mean no more scanning the street directory, importing tiffs into
freehand, drawing lines, calculating distances and converting to km?
What am I going to do with my weekends now?

And the great thing is that it measures distances in picometres. With
the amount of cycling I do, they are probably the appropriate unit.

What? No road maps? Not even high detail satellite imagery? Jibbed!

That's just to protect the rest of us from having to witness gangland
shootings.

I just had a look and I can actually see my car parked outside the front of
my place!!! Looking at the colour of the ovals, it looks like it was taken
a few months ago.

and there's someone on a bike doing secret BR training on the warrandyte bridge!

Yeah... I wanted to measure my old route in Melbourne but all I could get
