Google Maps add new layer

Google keeps building on Google Maps and now it has added a “Terrain” button that hikers, climbers, and nature lovers will enjoy. Details are at this link. Here is a partial description:

Today we’re releasing Terrain maps to help highlight this natural beauty even more. These maps focus on physical features such as mountains, valleys, and vegetation. They contain labels for even very small mountains and trails and are enhanced with subtle shading that can often give a better sense of elevation changes than a satellite image alone.
