Modern Maps

Interactive

1. Google: Most Google pages will have a link to the Maps page (http://www.google.com/​maphp) just above the input field.

   This link, for Pine Plains police, shows how flexible the Google map product is.

   (The interactive aspects require that you have JavaScript enabled in your browser.) Here's another Google map to play with (our Graham-Brush House).

2. ACME: Another great interactive site is the ACME Mapper. (http://mapper.acme.com/​) This viewer is less clever about figuring out what you want to see -- it cannot handle the "police" example, for example -- but it has a richer set of maps from which to select, six of them (see the upper right edge of the window). Even more maps and related stuff are available under the "Links" button.

   Here's an ACME map to play with (our Graham-Brush House again). (Click the spinning globe if the control panel gets in the way.)
