Exploring Gettysburg

Post by Amish John »

I'm sure almost everyone is aware of Google Earth and has used it to look around Gettysburg. However, I just want to make sure you are aware of the following web site that is kind of like Google Earth, but it has a "bird's eye view" viewing option that gets you much closer to the ground and also has an option to use the compass rose on the screen to view the area from north, south, east, and west. The bird's eye view can be zoomed one level using the wheel on your mouse.

Have fun exploreing your favorite GB areas.

You can get farther with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.

Awesome! I've never used that before. MUCH clearer image than Google earth can produce. Thanks AJ!
