more fun with maps
Below: an early attempt at GoogleMapping last weekend's canoe trip in Massasauga, using software that's designed for mapping jogging routes.
The satellite resolution isn't great in this case, but it's inconsistent for canoe country - parts of Algonquin Park (Big Trout Lake, for example) are shown clearly enough to see individual waves and tree branches, at least as good as imagery of downtown Toronto.
A link to the live map is here - you'll have to click Hybrid, in the upper right-hand side of the map, and wiggle it around a bit to see the whole thing.
