Trimble Outdoors and leading national publications—BACKPACKER, Bicycling and Mountain Bike magazines—is now provide Premium GPS-based information as a Google Earth Featured Content Layer.

This multimedia GPS content layer allows Google Earth users to access a wide variety of data on fitness and outdoor adventures, including routes, GPS tracks, points of interest, trailhead directions, trail descriptions, photos, video and audio clips.

A Google Earth user can view a 3D trip of running, bicycling or hiking destination. For example, hikers can experience the Pacific Trail online by viewing hundreds of photos, audio clips and videos from BACKPACKER Magazine through Google Earth.

Google Earth users can export the layer data to any WAP-capable mobile phone, experience it via a GPS-enabled mobile phone with Trimble Outdoors' fitness and outdoor recreational applications, or download to a stand-alone GPS device.
