Mappy Monday~Acme Mapper 2.1

As genealogist we use maps to find and plot our ancestral lands from time to time. I have looked at a lot of maps and use several different type of maps in my research. 

Recently, I have been using Acme mapper 2.1. Their webpage states that  Acme Mapper is “a high-precision general purpose mapping application, based on Google Maps with a bunch of things added on.”¹ 

Go to http://mapper.acme.com to launch the map







The mapper will load with the search widget in the bottom right corner. Type in a town, city, county or place that you want to see. 

Let’s look at Yellowstone National Park.  We enter Yellowstone National park in the find block and click on Find. 









We received this image but the scale on the image is too large. Use the scroll button on your mouse and reduce the scale of the displayed map. 




Adjust it to your desirable scale. 




When the map is displayed,  Mapper will give you the location GPS Coordinates and  location information in the two blocks above the Find block as shown by the two blue check marks in this image.









At the top right corner of the map you can choose between 4 different modes:
Map > Satellite > Typo > NexRad

The left corner of the map has the scaling bar to Zoom in and out on a location. 

All maps can be printed or e-mailed by selecting the proper action on the top of the Find Widget in bottom right corner. 

I have found Acme Mapper 2.1 to be a valuable resource in my genealogy tool kit.
