Yeah, use this for mapping runs through the streets of London.
Otherwise, for off-raod stuff, I use http://www.grough.co.uk/route/ which for the princely sum of £1.50 a month gives you the entire country at 1:25,000 scale, including almost all of the features you normally get from digital mapping software
As a bit of a Luddite I have no real idea what these web-sites actually do. Do they simply record your runs? Do they allow you to work out the distance and elevation gained? Do they have networking functions so you can share routes?

I used to use this all the time to find the distances of my routes.....jeez it used to take forver.
Ive since gone up in the world and bought a garmin.
Best £1.50 I ever spent, and continue to spend. Takes a bit of getting used to but the amount of tools you get to play with is brilliantOtherwise, for off-raod stuff, I use http://www.grough.co.uk/route/ which for the princely sum of £1.50 a month gives you the entire country at 1:25,000 scale, including almost all of the features you normally get from digital mapping software

if you are tight you can plot simultaneously on google type map (street or satellite view) and ordinance survey (although only 1:50,000 detail) on
www.bikehike.co.uk
(can also upload garmin tracks so as txc, gpx file and see where you went on the map)
(ooh and if you have map my run memebership you can copy someone elses route as a tcx/gpx file then use bike hike to view it on a map)
Another vote for Grough.
Yet another vote for Grough.
Big problem with mapmyrun is that it hugely oversmooths elevation. I've had a few routes on there where the height difference between home and the frist hill is greater than it gives for the whole run's climbing.
