[pct-l] Trace of PCT in Google Earth - Halfmile's is up and ready to download...

[Craig Stanton]

The iPhone's Google Earth app relies having a connection to the  
internet so it can retrieve the maps you have connected to your Google  
Maps account (under "My Maps"). I have a feeling it would struggle  
with something so long and if you're expecting to use this waaaay up  
in the hills you'd be better off using a gpx file with an offline map  
viewer.
