The UK is blessed with a fantastic map making agency - namely the Ordnance Survey (OS) and I'm sure other countries have equivalent agencies. When can we expect to be able chart our progress as accurately off-road as well as on-road?

If we had this ability, then after each meal, we could input our foods and by the end of the day the tracker would have calculated our intake so that we can compare it against our training to see whether or not we are positive or negative. It would greatly help those who are trying to limit their intake to lose a few pounds.

Thanks.

This would then allow for mins / lap as a pace.

Just an idea 

I'm sure I'm not the only Englishman never to use lb. Even when imperial weights are used - which is less and less often because of European influence - they'd be combined stones/lb/oz rather than just pounds. Would be far easier to allow a combination of miles for distance and kilos for weight.

All the best

1) Allow a user-selectable maximum distance between points when using "Follow Roads". If this works the way I think it does, then elevation changes on a perfectly straight section of road won't be noted. In particular you won't get a point at the bottom or top of a climb unless the road happens to curve at those points. Or - perhaps less trouble, make "Follow Roads" add a point at any significant elevation change.

2) Bump up the number of significant figures in the CSV output for distance/elevation. As it stands now, the error in distance between 2 consecutive points can be up to 52.8 feet for US units.

 I've been trying to back out % grade information from your CSV output, but the results I'm getting are nonsense. If I use Follow Roads only, then a hill that I know to have greater than a 10% grade shows up as about a 3% grade because of #1. If instead I manually click points on that hill, I get wild fluctuations in grade because of the lack of precision in the distance - anywhere from 0% to 26%.

 Once a route has been mapped, and the elevation displayed for that route, it would be neat if the user could mouse-over the elevation display and have the corresponding point on the map appear (perhaps as a red dot or something). 

That way, you'd know exactly where on your route that big climb is coming. 

I love MapMyRun and it has really re-energized my fitness training. However unless I've not found them, the "SEARCH FOR RUNS" features could use a few improvements. Today it is moderately useful as one either gets 0 matches or is overwhelmed by too many matches with no further drill-down tools.

What I'd like to see:

More criteria for search

- ex distance range (all runs between 7 and 12 k)

- search on run / hike / bike... If I'm running, I don't care for a 120km cycle route (and vis versa)

- search on the tags that one applies to the route when creating it (Park, Flat, Hilly, etc...)

- *** SEARCH / RESULTS ON A MAP! ***This should be possible with GoogleMaps. Why not Map all the starting points of the runs ? That makes it much easier to find a run close to where I am / where I will be without knowing what location/name the route creator chose.

- Ability to sort and refine results. Sort ascending/descending on all criteria.[update - this is possible on the existing criteria by clicking on the "column head". Two little triangles for "up"/"down" would make it clearer though...] Show most popular. Show most recently entered into a training log.

- etc...

Anybody else thinks the search function could use an energy bar?

Also what is a featured walkway?

 I for one don't use many applications on Facebook, but this one would be great. Mycyclinglog actually has one.

Being able to plot the various elements on a graph would be even more impressive.  Can it be done on the site?

Is there a way to save split times in mapmyrun.com? Splitting the full track into multiple smaller ones wouldn't give me the desired outcome, since I then wouldn't be able to compare times of the full track.

Seems to me this would be very easy to add as a feature, and very helpful.

 A minor point, but I think some of the icons should be made more relevant to the task undertaken.  For example, when I select Treadmill Running under the Gym / Health Club option, I still get a picture of a guy with dumbbells instead of someone running on a treadmill.

 I'm not sure if I'm missing something (if so, please let me know!) but at the moment I can't create my own goals/challenges/events - so if my goals are to run a 5 mile race, a 10k, and a half-marathon (and I have particular races scheduled) I have no place to put these. It's great to have a challenge of X miles in 30 days but just being able to run/race a certain amount of mileage in one go is something I'm aiming for, too!

Thanks,

Now we have the ability to track multiple pieces of gear it would be great if we could create different groups of gear. So you have a group of items, helmet/bike/shoe/tyre combo for training and a different group for racing /off road etc. This would be easier than  having to tick all the different pieces each time you use them. You could create groups of gear for the common things you use together.

What do you think?

Cheers

 PS: Great site 

Is this just a bug in MapMyRide or is there a valid reason why there is a descrepency?

 Thanks

There are a few other well known plans that might be good to add as well:

1. Couch to 5k training plan
2. 100 push ups
