Have you guys ever used this map website? Not sure yet on it's GPS capabilities, I know its gives coords, but not sure if it's integrated. I like cause of it's search feature with ghost towns, abandoned areas and such.

I haven't used it, I'll have to poke around on it a bit and check it out. It seems to be missing some information of interest. If you click here, you can see part of the area where I rode yesterday. Nothing shown but the terrain, here is a screen shot:

But if you open my Tahoe/Plumas trails map KML file in Google Earth, you see that same area like this, with the trails/roads shown and color-coded for difficulty and status: :)
