TBH, I find TopoCanada more useful.

So, now, I'm stuck with either trying to understand how to intelligently map a track in Google Maps, or finding a way to transfert a track from Google Earth to Google Maps.
Try uploading the gpx tracks to EveryTrail (you'll need an account). See - http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=1818374 Maybe you can screenshot something like that as a map. You can edit your track files in BaseCamp to clean them up before import, if you like. And I think EveryTrail has some options to edit tracks to clean them up as well.

Maybe Drakker has some tips.
