Maybe. But there's nothing on the web (that I know of) that can compare with a high-quality printed topographical map. Google maps and their kin are great, but at base they are little more than road maps. I've yet to see an on-line map that can hold a candle to a 1:50,000 O.S. Landranger, for example.
Admittedly, an interactive map has useful features such as distance calculators and driving directions, but neither of those are of any practical use to me.
