This will enable us to do so much in our lives by simply finding places we want to go and get directions even easier. I can already see this map on my dashboard a few years from now. Hope it will become available soon.

John,

I bought a professional license to Keyhole 3 years ago and developed an amazing project for the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. What you could do with the standalone product: Earthviewer, was nothing short of amazing! I only hope that Google will allow for the full 3D nature of the database to be maximized. With Earthviewer you could layer TONS of data on top of it

John,

You need to check out MotionBased for a library of outdoor activities tracked via GPS. Most of the routes are for running and biking, but the MotionBased TrailNetwork is growing everyday with a library of activities from around the world. While we don't support Google Maps, we do offer up a variety of street, satellite, topo, and elevation maps. We recently offered a tight integration with the Keyhole desktop application which shows your exact route on the map.

Here's a link for one of my hikes on Tam:
Coastal - Stinson - Steep Ravine

hey John,

re: maps.google.com being closed, I think you're a mac guy, but the keyhole desktop product is 'more' open in that you can create xml files in a specific format (KML) that contains placemarks (keyhole lingo) which can then be layered into the keyhole desktop app. It's even encouraged! There's a pretty cool forum on keyhole.com where people exchange locations, etc..:
