Did anyone else notice that 'terrain' on google maps now has topo lines?
Ohhhhh! Running across desktop to open GE!!

I don't think that feature works everywhere. I'm searching in my home town Dayton Ohio and only have Traffic, Map, Hybrid, Satellite, and Terrain options. Terrain doesn't have any topo lines on it.

::: Dino see applauding new feature :::
Im just now opening it up... there is a newer version, make sure you have that!
I scrolled around Dayton and found some lines in a park. It looks like it mostly too flat to notice.

Not Google Earth... just www.maps.google.com (http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/www.maps.google.com)
It also makes the detail on these maps so much better.

Hey, thanks guys for pointing this out. Very cool! If only Google showed the hiking trails, too...
This site has the trail laid over the google map.... shelters too!

I don't see how I am going to get any thing done today now that I must scroll several thousand miles.
