That's certainly better than nothing, but not the same as a
real topo map. I compared a region where I have the topo maps, and
the detail is not nearly as good. Small roads and towns are not even
shown. Strangely, if you click on the topo tab, you get
nothing. You can only see the topographic contours in the terrain
view. Even some roads that are shown in the mountains are often way
off from their true locations, just as they are in Google Earth if
you have roads turned on. Of course with the latter you can find the
roads yourself in a high-resolution view.

Mark, here is (I hope) a link to a topographic rendering I just
wrote in about.

Yes, that's a good site that I occasionally use for road maps,
but I was originally talking about topo maps. They are what I would
like to be able to access and download on the web, especially since
Mexican topos are expensive and rather difficult to obtain.
