"Sport Distance Calculator" allows you to calculate the total distance and elevation change of a route made for sports (Walking, Jogging, Running, Biking, or others...) by putting points on Google Maps. This website can replace a pedometer.
To begin and calculate the distance of a route: first start by positioning the map by entering your address or directly on the map (info)The map is centered by default on New York City, USA, adjust the zoom level, then simply add the points of your route on the map by clicking on it (info)Clicking with the left button mouse : adds one point on the map in free edition (where you want on the map).
Clicking with the right mouse button : add several points on the map by following automatically the road network, in pedestrian mode, without using the highways..
The distance between last two points and the total distance of the route are calculated under the map.
It is also possible to calculate your average speed and your average time per mile (or per kilometer), by entering the time carried out on the route or conversely, to calculate the time needed to complete the route, with your average speed. (info)For information : a runner beginner has an average speed including 9 and 11 km/h.
An estimate of your expenditure in calories (running, cycling and rollerblading) and of your VO2max/vVO2max (running only) is available at down of the page.
After clicking on the button "Altitude", you can calculate the topography of the route and export it in differing file formats ( GPX, TCX, KML and CSV).
(info)
- Button "GPX export" allows you to save a file to GPX with your route, to integrate it into a GPS (with elevation).
- Button "KML export" allows you to save a KML file that contains your route, to integrate it into Google Earth (with elevation).
- Button "TCX export" allows you to save a TCX file that contains your route, to integrate it into a Garmin (with elevation).
- Button "CSV export" allows you to save a CSV file that contains your route, to integrate it into spreadsheet (like Excel, OpenOfiice.Calc ...) with the semicolon as separator.
Once saved a route can be displayed by all. Feel free to share it (info)You will reach another page where you will have to provide various information on the route.
No account, registration or email are required.
Once saved a route can be displayed by all by clicking on "Search a route". Feel free to share it.
This is the most accurate edit mode.
You can alternate the two edit mode on the same route..
Clicking with the right mouse button: adds several points on the map by following automatically the road network (info)This edit mode allows you to add points automatically follow the road network.
The method used is the pedestrian mode without using hightways (do not wish to sense movement).
To leave the road, use the other edit mode (left mouse button).
You can alternate the two edit mode on the same route..

Map size (info)Attention: change the size of the map causes the page to reload and reset your route
- S = 900x45O
- M = 1100x55O
- L = 1300x65O
- XL = 1500x75O
The size choosen is save in a cookie. : S - M - L - XL
Color of the route (info)You can change the color of the route when you want, the route is maintained. : Red Blue Green Mallow
Add markers evry (info)You can draw your route with markers actives or add them after.
Add markers on a long (> 100km) may take a few seconds. :

Total distance of the route : m either : km
Distance between last two points: m / yd
Total distance of your route:
m - yd either : km - miles
Calculate your average speed:
Your average time per km: min sec
Your average time per mile: min sec
Topography:
Click the button "Altitude" before calculating the topography or export files.(info topography calculation)
By default the topography calculation includes all the points in the calculation, but with high altitude or long distance route, the result is often higher than the reality (including auto-follow route mode where points can be close to a few meters).
There are 2 methods for refining the calculation of topography:
- The "smoothing" can choose to ignore the points that the difference in altitude is less than the value chosen. (To avoid having small climbs and descents accumulated)
- The "minimum distance between points" used to define the minimum distance between the points for calculation (ignoring the intermediate points).
Change these 2 values affect the calculation of elevation gain, negative altitude, total altitude as well as the color features of the course.
The profile, the total distance and export KML,TCX,CSV and GPX are not altered.
Smoothing : No smoothing Smoothing 2m Smoothing 5m Smoothing 10m
Minimum distance between points : 0m 50m 100m 200m
Total elevation change : m / ft | elevation change - : m / ft | elevation change + : m / ft
Departure altitude : m / ft | Altitude difference between start and finish : m / ft
On the map, after calculation of the topography, in red the elevation change +, in green the elevation change -, and in blue no elevation change.
The digital elevation model used for topography are : SRTM et GTOPO30.
They provide a horizontal resolution of 90 meters and includes every continent except Antarctica.
