After seeing Cooper Smith's visualizations of data from runners in New York City, I wanted to see what similar data sets would look like for other cities. Nike+ doesn't have public GPS logs, but MapMyRun does, if you are willing to spend several hours clicking through search results to hit the "Download" buttons, so that's what I did to get the tracks for these 771 runs (from June 13 through August 9) in San Francisco.
As Open Source Planning has pointed out, uploaded runs come from a fairly small, self-selected group of people, the most obvious result of which is the total absence of the southeastern corner of the city from this map. It is also a very self-conscious process, so it is biased toward intentional, and often intentionally difficult, trips made for their own sake, and away from the repetitive patterns of everyday life.
Unfortunately the MapMyRun tracklogs do not have date and time stamps, so it is not possible to do the time of day, pace, and interruption analyses that Cooper Smith did. I should have done direction of travel, though.

The maps here are neither accurate nor precise, it doesn't reflect the real path that I travelled
Points worthy of note:
The Frome and Back ditch are fully open watercourses. On the 1829 Ashmead, warehouses behind Merchant Street begin to be built over it. (The castle moat was not accessable to Donne's surveying but was also wholly open to the air, except castle st and queen st bridges)
Bridewell Mill was still grinding Corn twice a day on each low tide at its 9 foot high weir
key index marker no. 39, bottom left relates to Union Street and St James Meat Market, then proposed.
Park Street is laid out, but thats about all!
St Giles or Stone bridge still has the Frome flowing under its twin 1755 spans at head of quay. The right hand arch was not filled in until 1826 when Mylne's culvert tide gates and sunken access compound were built.
Bath Street has not been built at Hf diagonally from Bridge Parade to Temple Street
The twisting narrow Halliers lane has to wait 27 years to become Nelson Street (Needless bridge, 2 gothic spans of 1696 is still only 14 feet wide)
Treen Mills malago pond has 31+ years to wait to become Bathurst Basin
The 120 foot Prewett Street glass cone, of which its base is now the Ramada restuarant was not be to built for another 7 years
This trip took months of planning, using reference material form local council plans, contact with urban planners and hours on the internet. In the end we came up with the ultimate Dublin Tour. Pub one being only 7.32 metres from the door of the hotel was an ideal meeting place both before excursions into the city & afterwards. Most routes lead to 'Oliver St John Gogarty's' in Temple bar (Both Nato & the EU rate this as 'probably the finest bar in europe). A couple of pints in 'The Bank' in Dame street (only so we could go to the ATM and a couple in a random pub near some shops. The planning paid off....
The freedom to roam in nature has diminished for children over years, but I was fortunate to grow up in Auchtertool, a rural village in Fife, so I mapped the extent of my childhood wandering and important sites for me.

Ah My Friends! I'm glad You've decided to stop on by and take a look at My Map of our Glorious State, Pennsylvania! My scouts just finished this version last week and You are the First to see it besides Myself. We once stood as one of the Old Nations greatest States. We had almost 12 million people living within our borders, but after the bombs... We lost 9 million. Our census 4 years ago showed we had 4 million, but we figured after radiation poisoning we lost an additional 1 million. Our largest resources consist of Metal Ores, Coal, Agricultural goods, Horses and Timber. My people pride themselves on a strong work ethic and loyalty to Myself and State. Some call my a Tyrant, and our neighbors to the West (Ohio) Say I will fall as Leader to my people within then Year. I am a Dictator by "standard Governmental beliefs", but I've turned such a negative word into a positive one. I Hope to someday be viewed as a mentor to other States, a template if you would for other Strong leaders like Myself.

NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION: Additional Actions Needed to Increase the Security of U.S. Industrial Radiological Sources
Note: Although the figure depicts NRC’s four regions, three of the four regions oversee licensees with radiological sources. Region I, located in Pennsylvania, oversees industrial facilities within Region II that have radiological sources. Regions III and IV oversee such facilities within their respective regions.
A map taken from the 1919 Ward Lock Guide to London.
Uploaded to mark the 150th anniversary of the Metropolitan Railway and the 80th anniversary of the first publication of Harry Beck's classic "schematic diagram".
Beck's innovation was the show the stations exactly the same distance apart, thereby enlarging the central section for greater clarity and removing the large amounts of empty space shown in this map.
The book itself isn't dated, but the map appears to be dated "2-19". This seems to be confirmed by the fact that the Central Line extension to Ealing Broadway opened on 3 August 1920.
