LifeHacker posts that Google Earth now shows hiking trails. The Trimble Outdoors Trips layer features hiking trails with GPS coordinates. Perhaps the coolest feature is the ability to send map info to your cell phone. If your phone has GPS software, apparently you can send waypoint info as well.
I blogged earlier about the USGS map overlay for Google Earth, which I’ve found very helpful. Google Earth is quickly becoming a must-have tool for outdoor rec.
