Here's my DARPA Grand Challenge route overlay.

Amazing, five robots finished the race today. Last year no one got very far at all. An amazing advance in autonomous robotic vehicular driving in only 1 year.

The official DARPA RDDF file containing the coordinates for this year's race hasn't been made available (as far as I know) by DARPA or any of the teams, but I used the coordinates in this CMU Red Team Google Maps page to create a KML file:

Thank you John for posting the coordinates of the route. I was curious to see how the 'bots drove the course and so I wrote a quick script to create placemarks at every 50th waypoint. Selecting the new folder from the placemark above and then clicking the "tour play" button provides a simple flyover of the course.

Cheers,

Mark
