New: Export to Google Earth, Terrain Map
May 19, 2008 – 6:42 amA few new features went live this weekend:
1. Export to Google Earth. In the search results there is a new kml link on the upper left. If you have a virtual globe browser like Google Earth or MS Virtual Earth, you can now use this link to import your search results into it. Click on this link:
And if you have installed Google Earth or similar, it will load the search results right into Google Earth like this:
2. New Terrain Map Type. Concharto now has a new map type called Terrain. To see it, click on the “Ter” button on the upper left of the screen.
This map style is great for historic events because it minimizes modern geographic features such as roads and metropolitan areas and stresses terrain features such as elevation and climate.
3. New Icons Concharto finally has its own map icons 
. An icon has been added to the info window to help you to associate lines and shapes (which don’t have labels) to the left hand time-line pane.
