Thanks,,, this is just what I've been looking for. I've copied it as a bookmark on all of my pc's.

I've discovered that the new Google Maps is a History-Hog. If I open it and make a modest number of navigation clicks on is, it fills up my History Page with maybe 50 or 100 lines, and renders History nearly useless after that. So I've re-named my Google Maps bookmark with a notation to remind me to open it in the Private Browsing window. It is useless to have those 50 entries on the history page, because all are simply titled Google Maps and you'd never be able to recover a previously visited page, anyway.

The more I use the new google maps the more I like them. It's simply getting use to something a little different and I'm learning more each visit to the website.

I actually have a free tool that is widely used by genealogists, historical researchers, etc that displays county boundary lines on top of a fully interactive Google Map. In addition to US county lines, it also includes Australia, UK, Ireland and Canada. It can be found here: [url]www.randymajors.com/p/countygmap.html[/url] (full instructions, tips, etc below the tool)

(If you're looking for HISTORICAL U.S. county boundaries, that tool is here: [url]www.randymajors.com/p/maps.html[/url]
