If you have MS Streets & Trips (2006 or 2007, not sure about earlier
versions), you will find that it makes a powerful find/display
interface for the entire Global Gazetteer database. Some have told me
that this use for S&T more than justifies it modest cost. A local
Wal-Mart had it for $29.95 this week (withou gps). If you have a
laptop that you can run in your car and are in an area where the sites
are within driving distance, and do not have a gps, it may well be
worth your while to get the version with gps. You can download
combined.est from the GG site to your laptop, go "moving map" with
S&T, and be able to create driving directions to most of the sites,
and be able to see your present location on the map at any time.

The objective for GG is that it will encourage collaborators from all
areas of interest, and will continue to be refined and improved
indefinitely.

It can never be "finished". Anyone with interest in a site can be of
help. Historical ref's saying who was present, where they were, wnen
they were there, with what outcome can be located with little or no
mapping skill, and is the most time-consuming part of the process. If
you are interested, you can be of help. The only reason the database
has been put online is to allow the possibility for this collaboration
to occur. The database remaining online is totally dependent upon the
amount of collaboration it generates. If the collaboration is not
forthcoming, it will disappear.

Everyone using the database should read
