Route tracking/sharing was bit of a problem when I was a teenager. But things are changing fast, really fast. We now have online route tracking apps which we may use to share routes with friends, relatives. When Google maps was first launched we used to have fun tracking the (in)famous Pentagon building, Red Square, or the Taj Mahal. But now you may use it as a route tracker!

At Sanoodi you start creating a new route on the Google map with the help of markers and save it. Calculate the distance (in miles) in respect of landscapes. Apart from Sanoodi, you may also do that at RouteSlip or Gmap-Pedometer. But at Sanoodi you may share your route/activity with others. Who knows .. you may find a friend of yours doing a similar activity same place, same time! A pretty nice and innovative Web2.0ish attempt to build the worlds first online route-tracking community! |
At Sanoodi, you may upload .gpx track outputs from GPS devices, map directly onto Google maps and share it. This is really helpful for runners/cyclists/bikers. It has also integrated Flickr photos with Google maps. So if someone creates a route that goes past the Howrah Bridge, images related to Howrah bridge will be displayed in the map making things a bit more realistic and fun. Nice integration of Google and Yahoo aaps!
