Google Maps Adds Global Contours |
SINGAPORE (Team Geared Up) - Google have announced the addition of global contours to their free mapping service. Very nice indeed, especially when combined with the satellite images. The above screenshor is of Lugnaquilla in Wicklow, Ireland.
Now this is becoming a serious tool to plot adventure points of interest on. Mountain names would be spectacular.
How do you get it? Go to maps.google.com, Click [Terrain], Zoom in close enough!
