Start-Ups Try to Plot A Complete Picture

I heard about Google Maps and started to find out about these maps.
First you have to preload the Google Maps software (for mac or pc) on to your computer.
Then you have to find a map file. For example the first good ones I found out about are eclipse maps that show the path of Total solar eclipses.
You find the website with the link, upload it to your desktop computer.
Then it is loaded into your computer.
If there are map layers you can click on and off and show different map layers.
I also found volcano maps, meteorite crater maps, meteorite falls and their location and many others.
You can zoom into the maps also which is neat and go all around.
I will post more google maps stuff as I found it and and links .
If you find something interesting, email me
