The ground is black with mourning



Remember me raving about streetdirectory.com's jogging route calculator six months ago? Well, they have decided to make it a paid service only. You can input the points, but to see the final distance, you will have to pay something in the range of $0.53. Today's map is in black to mourn this loss. But we will survive, there is always string and paper. I calculated the distance this time by using string on the computer screen. Not perfect, but hey, my string cheaper than 50 cents okay?

What the internet gods giveth, the internet gods eventually want to get paid for. Sounds like you've found a good solution though.
