Map My Walk
Need to map my walk? With Distance Map you can trace any walking route on a map and see the exact distance in seconds. Plan tomorrow’s walk, measure today’s, or keep a running log of your favourite loops — free, private, and right in your browser.
How to Map a Walk
- Open the distance calculator
- Tap your start point on the map
- Tap along your route — follow the footpaths, parks and streets you walked
- See the total distance update with every point you add
Drag any point to nudge the line onto the exact path. Add as many points as you like for winding routes and out-and-back walks.
A Walking Tracker That Plans Ahead
Most walking trackers only tell you how far you went after you’ve walked it. Distance Map works the other way too: map a route first and know the distance before you set off. That makes it easy to:
- Hit a daily step or distance goal
- Build a walk up to a target (say, a 5 km charity walk)
- Compare two routes and pick the longer or shorter one
- Plan a loop that gets you home at the right time
For live, hands-free tracking while you’re out, follow mode counts distance as you move.
Turn Distance Into Steps
Walking distance converts roughly to steps and calories, so mapping a walk doubles as a step planner:
| Distance | Steps (approx.) | Walking time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 km | ~1,300 | ~12 min |
| 1 mile | ~2,100 | ~20 min |
| 5 km | ~6,500 | ~60 min |
| 10,000 steps | ~7.5 km / 4.7 mi | ~90 min |
Step counts vary with stride length, but this is a handy way to plan a walk that hits 10,000 steps.
