Another online trail mapping site, tracegps.com, has hit the scene. It’s a French site, which I don’t speak, but some clicking around revealed tracks and elevation profiles, but no maps. Maybe you have to sign up.

I suppose local outdoor mashup sites like this will continue popping up until a really good global wiki makes the scene. This one has some Google maps, but they weren’t working for me.

A tool for adding a Google-map-based community to your own website. I’m sure some outdoor sites will want to give this a try.

If you’ve wondered how Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo! online maps compare but haven’t had time to try them all, you can play with all three at once here. They’re synced up so each map shows the same area.

This javascript app is the best topo work I’ve seen – I think he downloaded all the tile images and wrote code to stitch them together. Aside from the downloaded tiles it’s not really a mashup – there’s no Google map or other scripts used that I see.

This new Google Maps Mashup is another site taking aim at created a community-supported trail map database. The lack of topos is a problem for outdoor users, but otherwise it looks like a good interface.

A Google Map interface to the 2 million or so USGS points. Nice to be able to quickly find locations by state and type.

“Doodle up a google map.” A google map, and some simple drawing tools let you create a map, save it, and publish it.

A community mashup of people’s favorite nature locations. Uses the GlobeExplorer map interface, which I haven’t seen much yet, but is draggable and seems fairly responsive.

This Google Maps mashup is generating its own contour layer, hoping to eventually cover whole world!

This new map mashup is a world-wide Google map wiki.  Cool, and responsive.

This Mt. Everest Google mashup uses an interesting combination of topo and satellite imagery.  It highlights how difficult it is to discern topography in satellite imagery.

A mashup (non-map) of lots of data sources relating to travel and skiing in the Colorado high country.
