Map Pedometer

We made a lot of changes to Map Pedometer recently and unfortunately this feature was not implemented during the update. We just added the feature once again. You can now single click on the starting marker to enter a point at the start location.

Please note that you should single click on the start marker and not double click. We no longer use double click operations to enter points since it is not tablet/iPad/Android/cell phone "friendly".

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."

We just added a feature for all users which allows a preferred location to be saved. Click the "Remember" checkbox which is located immediately to the right of the "Find" button. Enter a location in the "Location" search box. Click 'Find'. A message will display once per session indicating that the location will be saved as a browser cookie. When loading the Map Pedometer website or clicking on the Home link, Map Pedometer will center the map at the selected location.

In a future update, we will allow registered users to set their default location.

I always try to have a maximum size of the map on my screen. Therfore it would be interesting to have certain buttons on the left/right and not on the top: run/walk, cycle, drive, straight line, undo last point and remove all points.

I'm using the straight line method to make river mileage maps. I'm a new user, so this may exist. I'd like to be able to edit an existing route. When reviewing an existing route I'm finding some points on land and not in the water. Can you make a selected existing route display all nodes. Then be able to move or delete some of the node points to correct the existing route.

Currently, you can undo points and recreate them or drag the last point using a mouse. Editing of route points isn't supported. We hope to add that feature soon. Thank you for your suggestion.

Hi there.

Unless I have missed it, I can't see a way to export a route as a gpx file. I see that the activity log can be exported as a csv vile, but not the routes.

Thanks very much.

The printed map with readable street names doesn't always fit on one page. It would be great if I could see/print a list of turn-by-turn instructions (like directions on googlemaps.) Better yet, an iPhone app that would let me load the route & GPS me through it with spoken directions.

Can you provide a way to search all places with the same name and then select the one you want?

I can understand you can't do this because you need to keep the ads in that place, but I would appreciate it if you could at least give me a yes, no or working on it.

Perhaps this is possible, feel free to point me ...

It would be nice to share the list maintained on lower left of "My Routes" page. It appears that you have to be logged in to see list of "My Routes", an embeddable table with links to individual maps would be wonderful!

I am building quite a collection of routes that may be of use to others. It would be nice to share (for embedding) the list of routes itself. I currently maintain a separate table that links back to maps on this site (example @ travel.tpedersen.net/ice-age-trailing. Remarkably similar to the list on "My Routes" page @ http://www.mappedometer.com/routes/myro ... 1400931244

Nice tool - I use it a lot. Thanks for putting it together
