I've just accessed the site using IE 9 without a hint of any problem so don't be discouraged from trying.

Came across a new to me web-site. I previously posted about using a GPS device to mark headstone's. This web-site will take any format and locate the item for you as others will also do. The big difference is depending on your display device it could be off far enough, I don't know why, that you'll find the cemetery but will have to search for the headstone or whatever. In some cases I could look at the aerial view and see that the location it was showing was way off so, I would grab and move the proper location under the cross hairs in the center of the screen and in a shaded area in the bottom right hand side it would show the correct coordinates. I don't know if being a pilot and skydiver helps with aerial views or not, maybe not but I've been able to do a lot of fine tuning. If, in the future when I take a picture of the headstone or item I will also take two more pictures. One of the best land mark available and the other will be either 90 degrees to the left or right and then cross reference them later looking at the web site. If no references then I'd print a picture then while on site mark the location and work backwards from there. Don't forget a long measuring tape to measure off a road, building or whatever. There is a scale at the bottom left of your screen which changes as you move in or out. I know I can locate the item well within 7 feet. Sometimes the detail was downright scarry. NOTE: This web-site works best using the Mozilla Firfox web browser which I use 99% of the time. Using I.E. is pretty much a waste time or at least it was so on my two systems. And under options you can change the coordinate format. <http://mapper.acme.com/>http://mapper.acme.com Talk at me later, Bob Crawford Tucson AZ DNA # 92524 ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2011 00:52:43 -0500 From: "Wilson" <redhangar@charter.net> Subject: [CRAWFORD] Adam Crawford and Mary?
