I've definitely never thought to use Google Maps this way, but it's a great idea. I've been working on how to improve cardiovascular fitness, and running seems like a great way. Does Google Maps let you customize your route length? Or do you just kind of have to guess to see how long it is, and then adjust from there as necessary?
