International Nike+ Users
If any of you are using the Nike+ website from outside the States, I highly suggest you switch your country setting (that little flag down at the bottom) to the US version. Their version of the site has TONS more fun stuff than ours does, including “trash talking” on challenges, downloadable widgets to track your goals, and a new mapping feature that allows you to plot out your runs on a map, Gmaps Pedometer-style. (And yes, there are maps for Sydney.) I can’t see a single drawback to changing the country setting at all. Which makes me wonder – what gives, Nike? Why can’t the rest of the world have cool stuff too?

nice to see where you’re running. I switched to the us country setting too & plotted out my little circuit in brussels.
but indeed, strange for the us version to be so advanced in comparison with the other local nike sites. I can’t really see a practical reason for this.

Yay! I’ve just swapped country, too. Although the widgets were available on the international site as well this morning.
