GPS trails on Google Earth

Google Earth has mixed with Wikiloc to combine GPS trail coordinate with a 3D view. There are not a whole lot of trails in the Midwest on Wikiloc but this is the coolest thing I've seen for a while. I have not broken down and bought a GPS yet. Map (and rarely a compass) is all I've needed. But this technology plus a GPS unit may be a good excuse to rehike previously completed trails.

Google's announcement can be found here.
