Field notes

CourseChalk uses aerial imagery to trace and measure a cross-country route, color it mile by mile, and generate maps for flyers and meet packets. The site names USGS National Map and USDA NAIP as imagery sources and gives 4,860 meters as an example measured distance. A second tool, PaceChalk, accepts typed or imported splits and is in testing; its proposed outputs include pacing, season progression, personal-best, and pass-by analysis.
