Map Ideas

[Frank Zwolinski]

Hello,
I am trying to show a map with a marked path from Sasebo Japan, to Eniwetok Atoll, to Pearl Harbor, to Guam. Any ideas without buying expensive map software?
Thanks,
Frank

Preview is on every Mac.. Open item with Preview and click on the Toolbox icon. Click on the Shapes icon in the now visible tool bar. One of the choices is a standard arrow. You can control the thickness and color with the obvious tools further to the right.

And your wallet didn't get any skinnier!

Re: Map Ideas

You might try importing the affected individuals into MyHeritage, which has created a new map that shows where your people have migrated. I've just looked at it and not played around with it yet, but it looks encouraging. You can do this with a free account of up to 200 individuals.

Hope this helps.

You might look at Google Earth. I haven't used it for awhile but, I keep hearing that it just keeps getting better and better.

You can check Lisa Louise Cooke's website, lisalouisecooke.com, for links to videos about using Google Earth. Many of her videos are also on YouTube.
