Topographic Google Map?
 

Topographic Google Map?

I'm looking for a simple, online topographic map that highlights various elevation ranges in different countries as I travel around the world. I like how Google Maps is set-up (with zoom, and text) so something like that would probably work best. My purpose in using the map is to better plan my routes, and destinations. I'd like to know where the mountains are, and how tall they are in each respective country by looking at a map. I'd also like to know where the towns are in proximity to the mountains (i.e are they in the mountains, in between mountains, etc...).

Thx.

I'm not sure if this is what you are seeking, but I use Google Maps on my Blackberry Curve to get the "lay of the land" when I am in an unfamiliar area. I used it when in Dublin, Ireland to find where I was in relation to the pub I was to meet some folks at. You don't get elevation information, but maps and satellite views are good.
