Looks very interesting. I need to get the Chrome thing going to play with it.

Is you interest mainly on the paractical "what's around where I hike" side of things? Mine is, but I am also very interested int he big picture-- biodiversity an all that.

This version is only a beta. Future versions should have plant life too.

Interesting. But when I was playing with it, I got a Black Bear distribution map that looked very different. Not sure what I was doing wrong.
