I think that it is useful that the user can insert the running time.

Thank you for the job, this is a very nice application for runners.

It wuold be nice to be able to name routes and load them by name instead of having to know the number. and to have a list that you can load just by clicking them instead of cutting and pasting the number into the load route box.

thanks.

The ability to edit a saved route would be great even if that meant that the updated route was saved with a new ID.

As far as the online features you are talking about...I also use RunKeeper which has a lot of those features. I like this site because it is easier to share routes with people in my running group. I would be worried that competing with a site like RunKeeper would detract from the simplicity. My vote would be to focus on the core features of creating and sharing routes.

Absolutely an iPhone app as you describe. If it could update the map while I'm running that would be even better!

1. Change default starting location'
2. Clean up the screen--the buttons use up too much real estate

It would be great with a "Close Route" button. When running, you typically start and end at the same place. But today, to be able to have a sling, you must zoom in max and put the end marker close to, but not on, the starter marker.

Thank you for your request. We have changed the home page to make it easier to return to the starting point. You can now double click on the starting point marker. This will add a point at the location of the starting point marker. The markers are the same size regardless of the zoom setting. So, you do not have to zoom in to place a point at the route start location. This new feature also eliminates the problem where you had to put the end point "close to, but not on, the starter marker."

As a walker it would be so useful to have footpaths shown on the map - currently it will only work out distances for road walking. Is there any way to do this?

[admin]

For walking paths, you should click on the "Satellite" button on the map in order to easily view the walking path. You can track your distance over walking paths using the "Straight line" option on the Home page. This option allows you to create paths between any points on the map. You can switch back and forth between "Walking" mode and "Straight line" mode while creating your route if your route is on both walking paths and roads.
