[Stones] The Megalithic Portal meets Google Earth

[Andy Burnham]

After much work, here is a download of the locations of all 15582 
ancient sites we have listed on the Megalithic Portal, with summary 
descriptions and thumbnail image, where available.

http://www.megalithic.org.uk/megp/megalithic_earth.kmz (1.6MB download)

You will need to download, install and run the Google Earth application 
first. http://earth.google.com
You will need version 4 (beta). I've not come across anyone who's had 
any problems with this version so it seems reliable to use. You will 
need quite a high spec computer though.

Once installed, download our file above and do a File/Open to open the 
file in Google Earth.

Another innovation from the Megalithic Portal. Thanks to everyone who's 
contributed to this.

The contents of this file are copyright to the many Portal contributors, 
it is for personal use only and it is not for redistribution outside of

with it!

Let us know how you get on with it, and please submit corrections, 
updates and new text and images for inclusion back at the Megalithic 
Portal site pages that are linked.

It's currently a test version so please check the site for updates if 
you do use it.

Cheers,
Andy
