Default Google maps?

You should check out the new map feature google has. Its pretty neat, you can move around using the arrow keys. I was looking at the satellite images and I found the SJT. You can follow it all the way to cocktail peak and the switchbacks look impressive.

Thats the best I've seen so far. Really quick scrolling. I zoomed out the image and scrolled down the fwy to Aliso-Woods, then zoomed in for the trail details.

Very precise images.

The backbone is kind of hard to see from far away, but the hub and 'spokes' are clearly visible...

Why do you thank me? It's trung (mtnbikerdude87) that started the thread.
