Of course, you really want to see it in action, so here are a few samples. For collest results, make sure you select 'satellite' instead of map:

Wow! That's a really cool piece of kit. Maybe I should get myself one of these GPS devices to monitor the walking I do - it my be more accurate than the pedometer I use.

This is a Very Good Thing! Respect. I'll see if I can get some of my runs mapped like this.

I've been making my own little fun with Google Maps and forerunner data (hopefully improved upon other examples you've seen on the web). Feel free to check it out on my site and contact me if you'd like to get your data up on the site.
