I use this website a lot to trace my routes on googlemaps. Not sure how many other use it here.

Just upload your XML file off your GPS and it drops your route on to googlemaps

Here is an example (my route from this morning)

I use www.gmap-pedometer.com which uses google maps as its basis. It's great in that using the satellite image you can do off-road paths.

EDIT - mine's not for GPS - just for us technophobes who wont join 21st century

Thats why I use my GPS for my runs simply because a lot of the tracks I run don't have a good detailed closeup view.

I just use the Garmin training center... I've found it the best software available for analysing the numbers, and if I want to view a detailed map of my route I can export it straight from the software into Google Earth

I use an ordnance survey map and a piece of string.

I use the Garmin Training Centre too.

I don't use Google Earth, but I load my runs into the Garmin Motion Based website. Along with the maps, you get graphical breakdowns of all your runs. The info is a bit more detailed on there than in Training Centre.

Hi i use www.mapmyrun.com again uses google earth too plot your route great for off road a feature i really like about the site though is you can also track your footwear and how many miles they have covered!

I've tried the Motionbased website thingy Grant and I just didn't get along with it - having to upload all the runs, then assign them names etc... then you can only keep 10 at a time unless you pay for the full version/sign up, and then if your internet connection is down for any reason you can't access it! Ballache!

Pedestrian... I often remember my father planning out his runs with an OS map and bit of string - it was obviously the preferred method pre GPS/internet (and even now for some)
