Hi Guys and Gals,

I was asked if I could write up a tutorial on how to create overlays on Google Earth? Overlays are used to place old maps, drawings or old photo's over an area on a Google Earth screen.
I have found this to be very useful for studying up on an area of treasure searching. I hope and pray that you will also find this useful.
Please click on the link, or right click the link and hit "Save As".

God bless

THANKS PETER!

I knew this was possible but I didn't know where to start.
You have saved me a lot of time and aggravation.
This opens up a whole new world for me to research.

Peter,
Thanks so much for that link. It will come in very handy for me.
I'm not too hi-tech, but I should be able to figure it out with your instructions. :thumbsup:
Thanks,
MM
