Reply with quote

I would like to share an interesting website: http://batchgeo.com

It was very useful for my researches, it takes the data entries from an excel sheet and creates a map with all the entries!
For example you copy and paste a column with a list of town, and all of them will be visualised on a map!
It could be interesting for showing where your ancestry spread and family moved!
Once the map is created it could be shared with others or become private for your personal researches!
the maps can be modified with different colours and symbols.
It works also with Numbers and OpenOffice.

I hope it will be useful for the community!

Phil


Here a map I've created for showing you how it works!
Up in the right corner you can modify the view: satellite, terrain, map.

Hi Phil, this seems a great way to remind oneself at a glance of who came from where rather than trying to remember all the facts or looking through heaps of paper or computer records. Thanks for the info. Great job!
