Ok, I was able to use Google Maps to get approximately the information I wanted. I had to break the problem down into segments so that I could get Google Maps to measure the exact route I wanted between two points, not its idea of the "best" route.
I was trying to figure out the distance to bicycle to work. Basically I can go west then south or south then west. I have relatively few options since between my home and work I have to manage to cross a major railroad track, an interstate and a river. Anyways, of the two viable routes, one is ~15.8 miles and the other is ~16.0 miles. Since there is little difference in length, I need to figure out what terrain differences there might be. Luckily all of this is basically in a river plain. So there should be few, if any, major inclines. At least none of a significant length. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code. C code run. Run code run.
