Some of you may be aware of this site (www.routebuilder.org). It's a great site that allows you to figure out distances anywhere. You enter waypoints and it gives you miles, kilometers, etc. for whatever route you input. Not quite as detailed as a gps on your kanu, but considering I don't own a gps and the site is free, it's a great alternative!
Just thought I'd share it since I found it so useful.

Mahalo for that site, I agree it does not take your exact route
but if you flag certain points you can get a rough distance.
Thanx again

google earth does allow precise measurements; it has a ruler and a path tool in the menu. It is a free download.
