The importance of 2/10th of a mile…

I was playing around with my latest toy, the gmap-pedometer, plotting out some future running routes when I noted that by switching to satellite view, I could zoom in even closer. Close enough to see the sidewalks and paths that I normally run on.

Reviewing one of my older routes, the 6.6-mile one I did two weeks ago, I saw that I had only rougly plotted out the route I took, which failed to account for the little turns and side-runs that I took along the route. I got to wondering if I more accurately plotted out my route, at maximum zoom level, following the exact path I took, how much of a difference would there be?

About 2/10th of a mile. 6.8-miles.
