1- How has Doug not posted the obligatory picture of stairs that he and his wife had to ascend while on a tour in Randomcountrystan after Google showed the stairs as a road? Its a vital and key feature in every 'thoughts on google maps for touring' thread.

2- I use google maps all the time. Thats because 95% of my riding is spent within 300mi of my house and I have yet to be disappointed with the program.

3- Locally, there are multiple ways trails are displayed. Bold green line, light green line, dashed green line, and brown line. These each mean something different. I am shocked that so many of the issues mentioned so far are represented on google maps with a green line of any sort. Around me, all unpaved trails are marked as brown, as they should be. The trail of large rocks in MA which is looks like a dry creek bed is the extreme. I am completely surprised that such a trail would be represented with a green line on google maps.

4- Trails around me are so accurate that some which switch between paved and unpaved actually show up as changing from green to brown and back again, and its accurate. Any by 'around me', I mean in the surrounding states that I have explored and ridden in too.
