Not sure if this is a repost, but...

In google maps, you can click on the picture button and virtually ride virtually any route.
You can grab the little man and drag him, or just click on the arrows on the road and travel the route, and even grab the picture, rotate any direction, and zoom in.

With technology like this, why even take a bike tour? Jjust duct tape a laptop on your handlebars, put your bike on the trainer and you’ll be on a bike tour in no time*.
*(Above method works best accompanied by LSD).

This is such a nice feature for stealth campers, because with this, incorporated with Google map’s satellite and terrain features, you can find excellent places to camp before you even leave.

When you find places that look of interest, right click and select “add destination”, then right click and select center map. The just copy and paste this in your browser address bar and hit enter or go button.

javascript:void(prompt('',gApplication.getMap().getCenter()));
(As the URL doesn’t ever change, you only need to paste this once, and just hit the go button every time you need new coordinances, but remember to center map before hand, as it gives them based on the center of the map)

it will display GPS coordinance in a little pop up window

GPS coordinances will be displayed in WGS84 hddd.dddd. You can copy and paste into your waypoint manager (set preferences to hddd.dddd as garmin is hddd.mm.mmm by default, but your handheld should auto convert them to your default. My Etrex does.

Let me know if you need any help with any of this. Be glad to.
