I have a similar issue since where I live doesn't exist on Google or Mapquest yet. I bought a $30 computer for my bicycle that is quite handy. I also plan on picking up a similarly priced pedometer, but since I bike more than walk/run it will wait. I got a CatEye - www.performancebike.com has options but I don't know about international shipping. The computer also shows the time, times the routes, tracks two distances, odometer, average speed, top speed - etc.
