You know the drill.

The walk to your local coffee shope or even to your favorite bookstore (forget walking to the gym). You always think you've walked further than you have and you're convinced that it counts for your daily exercise -- but how far did you really walk?

That's where Gmaps Pedometer.com comes in. Another great use of google maps has come along and this one allows you to record your daily trek and then it gives you the total distance; usually a number far from what you thought it was. It even has a calorie counter breakdown based on your weight -- this cool feature makes it easy to find out that your walk to the coffee shop burned only 10 calories; so given the fact that your Caffe Mocha Latte has about 400 calories in it you better find another route.

You should be taking 6,000 steps a day for health and 10,000 for weight-loss... so use the free service to map your success or just stop the high-calorie coffees and you're bound to lose some weight without taking another step ever.
