Dude! Google maps added a "Terrain" button, which overlays a topo map on a shaded relief map! This is incredibly awesome!

I hear they're also working on a "terrane" button, which tells you whether the local bedrock is allocthonous or autocthonous.

Woo, they finally released that to the public. :)

(But I got confused at first -- I clicked on it while looking at my address, and saw nothing. Then I remembered that there is no terrain around here. Looking at my parents' place gave much more satisfactory results.)
