Looks like Google is upping the ante in the war of map services:

Google is even sending hikers & bikers into the bush to provide biking & hiking trail maps:

These map services are awesome, the more competition, the more ideas, upgrades etc, better for consumers. Maybe someday these map services will be fee based.
