I am training to walk a half marathon and thought that Mapmyrun app would help, but I can't seem to figure out how to map a random walk. Can anyone point my in the right direction on our to route a walk?

    I use MapMyWalk for walking - no real difference though.

    Not sure what you mean on the question...I just turn on my GPS and go...?

    Yep - turn on the GPS, once it has a good signal, hit start or record route or whatever and go. Then stop it when you're done.

    Sorry, I don't use it anymore so I don't remember the exacts, but it should be pretty straight forward.

    You have to make sure that your "Location" is turned on for MapMyRun. For iPhones, it is under your preferences of the phone... if you don't turn it on, I believe that MapMyRun puts you in Africa somewhere. Once you have that turned on, you hit Record... it will take you to a new screen that has options of what you are going to be doing, then hit Record again and it will start tracking your walk/run.
