FLEET-FOOT Fridays: Size Yourself and Map Your Path

When I want to size myself for a new bike I use this handy interactive tool.

Meanwhile, the number of cool mapping sites and tools are exploding. MapJack mashes the street-view functionality of Google Maps with the two-dimensional map itself, in a split screen that allows you to get both views at once. Very helpful; they cover a few U.S. locations like Vegas and San Francisco, along with some big cities in Canada--the bulk of their coverage is in Sweden, Thailand and Puerto Rico...go figure. The World Sunlight Map appears to be working, and is updated; run by a quirky group, but who cares...it's really interesting!

Dicey, but worth a look: Frappr appears to be a beta search engine that digs up mapping tools and maps; no other information available. Try it at your own risk.This site allows you to see campgrounds within a proximity to a U.S. location you choose.
