Use Google Earth with old maps February 18, 2012 04:34AM | Registered: 1 year ago Posts: 1 |
Hi all,
first post here and wanted to share a technique I've used to help determine the location of an old map in relation to today's landscape.
Using Google Earth to line up old maps, you can see the how to article here:

Feel free to hollar if you have any questions. I generally take a picture of a map. Convert it from a jpeg to png. Cut it down. And then use google earth to create a map overlay and save that as a kmz. file. Once you've installed Locus Pro dump the .kmz files into /sdcard/locus/mapitems. Then under Map Manager go to the items tab and you can load your map overlay over any base map you like. It's pretty cool! Oh and you should install the locus map addons, its free, and gives you some very cool base maps.
