Thanks Mark, I'm betting Google Earth linking and the USGS can do it nicely.
I just made one little improvement to my demo UK/Ireland map of witnessed
falls. That dot in the Sea that represents Wold Cottage ... I still left it
the water at the present uncorrected location on the USGS-MB site: but you
will notice I made that particular meteorite dot clickable. Click on it and
you will be surfed over to the USGS Met Bulletin site Wold Cottage page...
Another thought regarding this software - for NWA's, for example you could
define the whole region as a single territory, which could save some
problems, though I imagine if the coordinates are used for Erfoud or Agadir,
etc., it would look funny. Not much we can do about that mess, though...
Best wishes, Doug

Doug,
That's very cool. I must have a play with it when I have a bit of time.
From the look of the data files on the DIY Map site, it should also be
reasonably easy to update once it's set up.
I played with Google Maps earlier by grabbing and then manually adding
layers in Photoshop for the meteorites; it's a little more work but has
the kind of look I'm after:

Thanks also for the reminder about Risk - I can't tell how much time I
wasted playing that game as a student!

Hi Mark, Marco, and others who enjoyed the Parker Bros. Napoleonic "Risk"
game as kids*,
Been playing around with this "DIY Map" software (macromedia based) since
Mark first posted. I think I like the Meteorite bulletin - USGS Google
Earth interface better, and would encourage you to check into the
features of Google Earth allowing you to do 'kewl' stuff.
