I found this in Ancestry and I thought that people who search cemeteries would find this a very good tool. For whatever it is worth, try it! I guess it will only work at places where they have the technology installed. --- Aida Ancestry Quick Tip Another Mapping Tool Charlie Hathaway Some time ago, I read about Google Earth for locating cemeteries and it is a very nice tool, but I just learned about another mapping tool that works great for genealogists who search cemeteries, it's called "Windows Local Live Beta." It is not live as the name implies, but maybe it will be someday. Currently the photos appear to be about two years old. It is amazing what it does, especially if you are looking in a region where they have what they call a "Birds eye view" which allows you to look at a building or other objects like cemeteries from North, South, East, or West in 3d, plus from above in an Arial view or a road map view. It also gives you driving instructions from one point on the map to another. This is what they say about themselves: "Windows Live Local combines mapping and local search to put the answers to your search questions in a geographical context. To do this, Windows Live Local combines MSN Search with the latest in mapping to create a new Web application built on Microsoft technology." Windows local live will allow you to print out the layout of the cemetery before you go, so you will know in advance what you are going to be exploring and may help you to cover it completely even if you have to do it in several visits. One More Map Tool ADN Editor's Note: On the subject of mapping tools, I also received the following tip from Richard Danca: Have you seen this? It's still in beta (only 100 new users a month), but looks like a really clever use of Google mapping technology.
