SiteFinder available with Google Maps
The Gold Bug, developers of the popular AniMap software, have made their SiteFinder database available online in a “mashup”* with the Google Maps service. This can be useful to genealogists for quickly visualizing locations of geographical or manmade features. For instance, you can search for a place by name (the following will show four locations):
Place name contains the word(s): Niwot
State: Colorado
Or search for places by type — the following finds the locations of twelve cemeteries:
County: Boulder
Type: Cemetery
State: Colorado
Here is a piece of the map generated by the above Boulder County cemetery query:
Thanks to Genealogy Websites I Don’t Hate for this tip.
* Originally a term for mixing tracks from different musical recordings, a mashup can also be a “website or web application that combines content from more than one source.” — Wikipedia
