Pretty cool. Here's another excellent AT/ Google Maps combo (http://www.sophiaknows.com/atdb/gmap5.html) from the excellent Appalachian Trail Database (http://www.sophiaknows.com/atdb/index.html). That one maps the towns/POs and major landmarks as well as the shelters, and the pop-up balloons are a bit more informative.
I can't believe all the work that went into both of those maps. Pretty remarkable.

Here's another google map that automatically adjusts trail detail and visible shelters as the user zooms in and out. Very useful for finding road crossings.

Wow, that's very nice! Love the overlay options between topo/terrain/etc. Any idea what data defines the path of the trail (e.g. GPS coordinates from an actual hike)?

I found GPS coordinates on various other websites. I just put all the coordinates together and put them in the right order. Let me know if you think of any other features that would be useful.

Wow you did that. Do you think I could get a copy of the kmz file from you?

Sadly after 20 years, eecs.utk.edu will no longer host these AT web pages.
The pages have moved to
http://tnlandforms.us/at/googleat.php
The site includes GPS data for shelters, elevation profiles, and google map with AT trail
