Nike+ website adds 'Map it' feature
Legions of iPod nano toting runners track their workouts using the Nike+ website. I am not one of them (though I am getting in shape, sadly running has never been attractive to me), however, I still think the website is neat. Nike has just added a cool new feature to the Nike+ website: 'Map it.' Map It allows you to map your run using Google Maps. You can choose to make these maps public, or to keep them private (I can imagine some people might not want the world to know where they are running). You can then associate past, or future, runs with this new map to keep track of how you are doing. Pretty neat, though it would be even better if you could map your routes automatically using GPS. But you know what they say, baby steps (ha!).
Thanks, Bob.

Check out my wordpress plugin that uses the Nike+ public API.

There will be an update soon supporting "minigraphs" for each run displayed.

Unfortunately, it's another feature where you have to set your country as US - why can't they roll this out over all the countries? It works jsut fine with UK addresses.
