trixtahDon't worry, this isn't anything miserable. Someone's done a nice hack of the Google Maps API, which enables you to map a route and show the distance. It's called the Gmaps Pedometer.
Here's my walk to work (my last job) in London, from Charing Cross Station. Wow, 1 3/4km! I almost feel virtuous! Of course, we won't talk about the number of times I couldn't be buggered walking up in the morning, and got the Northern Line up to Goodge St... (at least I always walked back to Charing X on my way home, being awake then).
A couple of times, I rode my bike into work, but really 11km through the mean streets of London at rush hour didn't really thrill me. Even if it was slightly faster than catching the train.
(It worketh not for Oz or NZ, alas)
