More Google Earth

Want to utilize Google Earth without having to do any extra leg work? No time to download a lit trip or create a tour? No problem. Google has done all the hard work for you! Next time you open Google Earth, be sure to check out the 'Gallery' located in the 'Layers' tab. By simply checking a box you can then see icons that represent borders, weather, places of interest, even volcanoes.

The icon I want to share with you today is called the 'Rumsey Historical Maps'. By checking this you will be able to locate places within Google Earth that will transport you back in time to North America in 1733 - you can then overlay the historical map onto Google Earth. There are many other maps available, such as the World Globe in 1812, West Africa in 1789, Ancient Greece in 1708, and Europe in 1787.
