Mapping progam needed....

[Dar]

I need a mapping program that will allow me to plot a course and measure the total kms/miles

I tried using my pedometer and it didnt work it said i walked 15kms in 1 hour... ummmm i highly doubt that!.. its because the terrain I was walking on was rocky and there was a lot of jostling around so I want to be able to plot my course and have an accurate measurement....

any suggestions?

Try runkeeper. My BFF and her BF use it for their bike rides and it seems to work really well.

ok that one didnt work... its great if you stay on publicly mapped roads.. but these are hiking trails

no no dont be sorry its a great site... you can upload maps but i dont know how that will work with scales and stuff

Have you tried aviation maps? I don't know if they will work for you, but many of them are topographic and are measured in km.

can you plot a course on those? where would i find them?
