Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone could suggest some help. Our school is doing a pedometer project and I'd like to use a wikispace to map the schools' progress and map each day or week along a path somewhere around the world. I tried embedding a map into my wiki but it doesn't seem to use a distance tool to map the path. Any help would be appreciated. my attempt at using googlemaps
