The slider bar under the maps you load allows you to change the transparency to view earlier maps or the current background.
Nice!

That is great. Thanks for the link, Mike.
Did you get it to work. All I get is some dots spinning. I've tried it on a windows 7 machine and a windows xp machine in explorer.

Yes, I'm browsing with Chrome in Windows XP Pro. There were some maps that lagged a bit in downloading, but it all showed up eventually. I figured it was a server problem.
Oh yes, chrome works much better.
Wow! I grew up in River Ridge! Went to
high school at John Curtis.
Thank you.
Gosh darn it Mike, you are giving away all the research secrets.
I'm sure soon you will be able to load the aerial photos for a backdrop.
Next thing you will tell everybody that you can easily load these historical maps on your smart phone and see your position on the map for nearly free?
Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it m & h. Isn't time travel exhilarating?
