Some pictures, from which I was lifting coordinates, have been lost in the Forum Merge so apologies (particularly to JT) for those omissions.

 

This thread is now STICKY.

 

Not WW2 but still important to Aussies / Kiwis and Turks


Anzac Cove

Chunuk Bair

And the British thanks. As more Brits served at Gallipoli than ANZACs.

 

Not WW2 either but that wierd 900x700 metre Chinese 'training model' can be seen here.
(link will open Google earth and take you straight there, don't click if you can't be bothered )

Apparently it perfectly represents an area on the border with India, as discussed here

That is really high-res image isn't it?
Not surprising the satellites zoomed in on that one.
Wonder what they're up to?

PS How do you do those links?

 

I'd love to see a few more pictures of the 'wargame table', there's some with 'giant' blokes walking over it.

Paul, they're called '.kmz' files, I copied and pasted that one from The Register's website. It seems the saved placename or kmz has to be 'live' somewhere online, presumably as part of your site & on your server. You then insert a normal link to that Info.

Google guide here (bottom of the page) not very clear but 'KMZ' turns up a lot of other web info, trying to work out how to do it properly myself now.
