1. Topo-zone: Topo-zone has become essentially useless on this site. It will be replaced (eventually) with Acme Mapper.

2. ACME Mapper example. Replace lat/long in this example to use for this location (being careful to show latitude,comma,hyphen,longitude). Click rotating globe to remove popups. Map, Satellite, and Hybrid are Google Maps. Topo is served up from Terraserver. This will eventually be added to all sites.

3. National Map: This map is found on a few sites, but due to the time and effort required to do so, has not been added to all maps. If you would like to provide different coordinates for a US map, email me and I will send you a link for a National Map for the area of interest. The map I send you will include a topo map. You can rest the cursor on your location of choice and send me the coordinates you see in the lower left of the screen.

The National Map is provided on a few sites. Instructions are provided for adding desired features to the map. You may print these, and follow them to produce a very useful map. It takes several minutes to create the map, but after you have done it a time or two is really quite simple and will reward you with an attractive and useful map.

It is planned (eventually) to add National Map to all US maps.

If a site is of particular interest to you, email me and I will add a National Map showing a topo map to the webpage for that site. I can also add a Yahoo Map link to the site, which may also be used for determining coordinates of a location.

4. MapView. This is a Java version of National Map (above). Quicker and provides larger map image than NM. There are no plans to add this all sites.

5. Google: In most cases in the US, this will be your primary means of knowing where a site is located (Eventually, this function will be provided by Acme Mapper). Check "Show labels" to see road names. Try all options (map, satellite, terrain, driving directions). Try different scale levels until you get your bearings.

6. Google Map with all locations plotted: This is a powerful new tool which has many of the advantages of Google Earth and will allow you to see other locations in the same vicinity. Use Control-f to search for site names (whole or partial words). For driving directions, go to "webpage", click on regular Google map, click on "Get directions: to here". Try all options: Map, Satellite, Terrain.

7. global-gazetteer.kmz, world map with all locations plotted. May be opened in Google Earth or WorldWind (if installed on your computer).

8. global-gazetteer.est, world map with all locations plotted. May be opened in Microsoft Streets & Trips (if installed on your computer).
