Viewing topo maps just got a whole lot easier. It appears that Google Maps now has a topography layer in addition to the satelite and map view.

The above route is a KML (Google Earth) file of the Lowest-to-Highest trail, which by the way looks like one heck of a trail.

TIP: TO DISPLAY A KML OR KMZ FILE IN GMAPS, JUST COPY THE LINK LOCATION AND PASTE IT INTO THE SEARCH BOX ON THE MAIN GOOGLE MAPS PAGE

Looks like Tour de Georgia is on for April 21-27 of next year.

“The Tour de Georgia has established itself as one of the premier events for professional cyclists and for cycling fans in North America,” said Levi Leipheimer, current National Road Race Champion (USA Cycling Professional Championships) and 3rd Overall in the 2007 Tour de France. “Personally, I enjoy participating in the Tour de Georgia as it is perfectly placed in the world cycling calendar in terms of preparation for the Tour de France. The challenging courses, enthusiastic crowds and southern hospitality are the best of any North American race.”
