Hiking Trip Planning with Google Earth

That’s right, I said it. Now you can view a collection of hikes in
Google Earth by turning on the Trimble Outdoors Trips layer under Featured Content.

The content is a little inadequate in middle Tennessee, but there are numerous documented hikes over in the Smokies. And, you can submit your own hikes for inclusion along with GPS tracks and waypoints, photos, video, and more. So come on middle Tennessee hikers, let’s fill up their hard drives with GPS tracks for local hikes!! If we all kick in, we’ll have a wonderful database of hikes around the country and that is what web 2.0 is all about baby.
