Using Google Maps is fine, as is Bing - but ONLY for now existent, large towns. Many of the "older" places are not found by either Google or Bing. The places John mentioned are in England, which has Ordnance Surveys. Those are maps showing abbeys, battle sites, old castles, etc. Google and Bing maps do not show what many historical genealogists are looking for.

Again, someone else has already posted with the details of how to do this since this line of discussion started this week.
