I’ve noticed a lot of new mapping tools floating around the Web lately and a few of them seem like they would be very handy for people living in apartments and/or people who are living in a new city or neighborhood.

One is YardSaleTreasureMap.com which lets you enter an address, search radius and day of the week to generate a list and a map of local yard sales taking place that day. The listings are pulled from craigslist ads and not only show the location of the sale but also details about what sort of items will be up for grabs.

If you have recently moved into a new house or apartment and need some new furnishings this could be a very helpful tool that will save you time and money. And if you’re not familiar with the area, don’t worry, the site will map a route to take you to all the different yard sales so you don’t get lost.

Another great site is MapMyFitness.com which has a ton of fitness tools, including articles from popular fitness publications, popular local running/walking/cycling routes, fitness plans, and a ton of other cool tools for fitness buffs. This tool would be especially helpful for someone who has moved to a new area and needs to create a new fitness routine to fit into their new neighborhood, or even for someone who travels a lot and needs to change their routine often and in different locations.

You can also hook up with other members to join fitness clubs/groups in your city on the ‘community’ tab. There are so many links and resources on this site that you could spend hours browsing and planning. Related sites include MapMyHike.com, MapMyRide.com and MapMyTri.com.
