They’re getting their own layer in Google Earth!

The best damn (and easiest to use) GPS logging site for outdoorspeople of all stripes stepped it up a notch this week and announced they will soon have their hikes and write-ups available within Google’s amazing productivity-crushing 3-D mapping program.

Here’s an impressive video demonstration they posted, just to keep us excited until it launches:

In case you don’t know, Modern Hiker HIGHLY recommends EveryTrail if you’re even thinking about doing anything with your GPS tracks. I’ve been using them for more than 2 years now, and have been impressed not only with their service’s ease of use and power, but also with how well they keep everything up to date and improving. Definitely worth checking out.

Congrats guys! I can’t wait to see it.
