I believe that's what she's talking about. Subtle difference between that and the other one.

Sure Daphne! You click on your street and a little exclamation point bubble thing shows up, then you click on a destination down the street, another one shows up, and so on around corners, down streets, etc., and back home. wait a second and a blue line shows your route, and up top it tells you how far it is!

This is so fantastic. Thanks for sharing.:D
I've tried my walking distances - I wonder if I walk slower than I thought I did? :dizzy: Interesting!

Yes, that is cool. I mapped out a 1 mile route and then a 2 mile route.

I can do the 1 mile, and I am slowly working my way to the 2 mile. Baby steps.
