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!

LONDON, UK (Team Geared Up) - Short & sweet post to say Google Maps have turned on Terrain View. Wow.

Click the little [Terrain] button beside Satview on the map to access it.

Google, you’re the gift that just keeps giving!

LONDON, UK (Team Geared Up) - TGU Reader Alan left a comment alerting us to his RunIreland.com Event Map. Alan has done a Google Maps mash-up with all the upcoming running events being held in Ireland marked on a big map.

RunIreland.com is a fantastic listings resource, you can even map Irish Running Clubs to see which is closest to you. Good job Alan!
