NEW GOOGLE EARTH DATA FOR THE BATTLE OF IWO JIMA

 

I am now creating google earth data for the battle of Iwo Jima.  In order to use this data you must have Google Earth installed on you computer.  To view the datasets below you must have Google Earth installed. There are minimum requirements for using Google Earth these can be found at Google Earth Computer Requirements.

Once you have Google Earth installed simply click on the links below to download and open the files in Google Earth. Once the layers are displayed in google earth you can turn them on and off, change colors, transparency etc by right clicking on the layer and going to the properties.

Iwo Jima basemap - This is a 7+ Mb file that includes the base layers of the map. Individual layers can be turned on and off as desired. To open in Google Earth simply click on the link, to download, right click and save as Iwo Jima Basemap

Every day on the corresponding date, i.e. uploading the D-Day file on the 19th of February, I will be adding that day's unit locations to this site. Each of these projects will display the front lines at the end of the day, and the unit locations as they were when the front lines were consolidated for the night. For those units that I have digital data describing their actions that day, you will be able to click on the unit label and then click on the link in the label that will open a page with that day's daily summary. If there are no data available it will simply take you to a page that says no data is available for that unit. This will be those units other than the infantry battalions.

I am also creating additional unrelated individual .kml files depicting WWII history, Initially these will be including selected islands in the pacific, WW I cemeteries in Europe, German Sub sinkings in WWII, and US Ship sinkings in WWII.
