Google Earth

Another great tool for mapping out ruck/run routes is to download Google Earth to your computer.

It has a "ruler" feature that can calculate miles, kilometers, yards, ets. One of the great features is that you can manipulate the screen in 360* and tilt the view of the earth to get a 3-D look at the terrain. It gives elevation an any point that the cursor is located.

This has been a great tool for my training. I have been able to map different routes at different mountainous elevations (7000-11,000 ft)
