-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Rumsey Maps now in Google Earth Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 00:37:53 GMT From: Philip Hoehn <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Rumsey Maps now in Google Earth 16 Maps from the David Rumsey Map Collection can now be viewed in Google Earth, along with modern satellite imagery and many other layers of geographic data. To view the maps, download the latest version of Google Earth at www.earth.google.com <http://www.earth.google.com/> (PC and Mac versions), then go to Layers/Featured Content/Rumsey Historical Maps. To enable transparency of the historic map layers, click on the Rumsey Historical Maps folder when viewing a map and a slider bar will appear that will adjust transparency for comparison of old and new maps images. Additional maps will be added in the coming months.
