You may be interested to know that I've just released the next version of Trailgauge route planning and measuring software. All you registered users out there should have a recieved a new unlock code by email.
New features include :-
* Ability to edit routes (move points, insert points, delete points, add more points etc.),
* Ability to copy routes,
* Elevation sensitive time predictions using a configurable variation of Naismiths formula,
* Garmin GPS interface to upload routes as tracks and waypoints,
* Ability to download tracklogs from Garmin GPS devices,
* Speed / pace graph with mile or km split times using either predicted times or actual times downloaded from GPS,
* Height map - remembers previously entered elevations and re-uses them on new routes.
* Ability to add named waypoints to routes.
* Publish your routes to a web page including map extract, topographic profile and route card with times, distances and bearings.
There is also a completely free version that does everything that Accuroute and LittleRedFrog does, please see the website for more information :-

I'm just about to test the GPS function and take my old yellow eTrex for run, I'll report back later...
I found it far easier to plot a route than when using Map24.co.uk. I've calculated 3 routes so far and they are all more or less spot on to the distance I've calculated in the past using a combination of other methods (Car, Map and String and map24).
it hung - oops wrong com port,
it works, you get a new route on trailgauge shows you where you've been and you get all the heights. You also get a geat little graph that shows you all the mile split times and your speed in mph throughout the route - good stuff. Amazingly too, the predicted time was only a few seconds different from the actual time.
Now if I could only think of a convenient way of carrying the etrex instead of holding it in my hand. Maybe I'll improvise an arm strap like the timex using some an old stocking...
It is a real pain carrying a GPS, I certainly wouldn't do it for every run.
On longer runs, if you take a pack like a Camelbak maybe it would go in the top pocket.
