I haven't seen the actual trails from EveryTrail, but *some* of them might not be useful since users can document trails that are not actually trails (like it cuts right through a rainforest), especially trails generated by mountaineers.<br>
<br>Anyway, this might or might not be interesting, but Google and EveryTrail had a sort of agreement just last month and many trails from EveryTrail can now be viewed as a default layer in Google Earth. Check out this cool YouTube video: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJBlnlfOtpQ">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJBlnlfOtpQ</a><br>

I guess we also need to clarify this thing a bit:<br>

"Draw on the map<br>
Don't have GPS data? Don't worry. You can draw your route on the map.<br>
Just hit "Continue" on the first step of "Create trip" and you can<br>
draw your route on a Google Map."<br>
<br>
Do some of its downloaded gpx trace came from "drawing route on a Gmap"?<br>

I notice that you have the .gpx files available for download on your website without restriction, and I wondered what the licensing terms on those were.
