Google has embarked on a project to map towpaths in England and Wales, as part of a plan to get more people on to rivers and canals.
Later this year, Google Maps will be updated to enable users to plan journeys that include bridges, locks and the 2,000 miles of canal and river paths across England and Wales.
Ooooooooo! I think that is brilliant!!! I have been on parts of the Grand Union and Oxford (and on the Llangollen and over the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct into Wales as well!) but would love to be able to get a better idea of which canals I would like to travel next without actually having to putt along myself - let them do the scouting work!
