cycling & the beauty of Google Maps
I’m considering enjoying a nice ride through London with like-minded peope: enter the Friday Night Ride! Apart from a brilliant idea, it also uses a neat website that adds a clever topographical extension to Google maps making it a useful tool for planning your cycling journey.
update 16.May.2007: recently Google Maps made it possible to creat your own custom designed map (including added information at waypoints). However, there’s no topographical information layer included. Also, you have to use a google account (free but still) to personalise a map.
