Sundial placemarks are shown on the Google Map and on a list at the side. Click on any of the placemarks to see a picture and a short description. Links are included to better pictures and more detailed descriptions. Links to specific maps have been posted on this list from time to time so others can use this information. Like many other Google Map users I have been frustrated when the links to the maps stopped working. The link would bring up the map but not the placemarks. Google maps say they are working on the problem but have not yet solved it. Users have offered workarounds that seem to work. The best advice is to click the back arrow button in the top right on the page. Remarkably, this button is live and clicking it brings up the placemarks. Here are several links to test. 7 Burlington NASS Sundial Tour http://goo.gl/maps/Ab5q 57 Zarbula Sundials http://goo.gl/maps/PFh6 13 Sundials in Malta http://goo.gl/maps/TWRe 5 Istanbul Sundial Tour http://goo.gl/maps/x0UH 8 Apt Sundial Tour http://goo.gl/maps/0XlS 8 Victoria BC Sundial Tour http://goo.gl/maps/EOsV Woody Sullivan introduced me to the use of Google Maps for sundials. Thanks Woody. I note that his Google maps show the same problem but clicking the back button seems to work there as well. Here is a link to one of his. 25 Seattle Sundials http://goo.gl/maps/VHvZ I am using Google's short links. These take you to the long ones but are easier to type in and use. I also have Google Earth kmz files for all these sundials. The placemark appearance and 3D maps are better. Perhaps I will post a few here as the kmz files are quite small. I would appreciate feedback to confirm the problem and solution.

I have just received notification that Google fixed a problem on version 2, which prevented the markers from appearing in Google Earth when you clicked the Earth control in Google Maps. -- -- Richard Mallett Eaton Bray, Dunstable South Beds.
