Hiking Trails on Google Maps
Published July 12th, 2007 in Hiking, Hiking Log, News, Smoky MountainsI am not sure how long this has been available, but I just discovered it today. If you are using Google Maps, point it to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and zoom in until the zoom indicator is on the 4th tick mark from the top. Apparently, Google Maps is showing the trails inside the park. Here is a screenshot:
If you zoom in even closer, it will show the actual trail names.
If you take this and get to work on the new My Maps feature in Google Maps, you can create a custom Google Map that shows the trails you have hiked, complete with markers to show certain landmarks.
