In my retirement from a career in marketing communications, I decided to create an educational web site containing over 150 Google Maps of Historic and Scientific Events at MyReadingMapped. I started out with maps of explorer expeditions (40 in total). Unusual maps, like Henry Morton Stanley finding Dr. Livingstone, and Livingstone's Source of the Nile Expedition, and linking each map to each other to show where both Stanley and Livingstone were at various points at the same time. I then moved on to Google Map of Plate Tectonics that enables you to zoom in close on the submarine fracture zones, mid ocean ridges and submarine volcanoes that comprise the edges of the tectonic plates. Or maps of Geology that enable you to zoom in on examples of geology terms as small as a large rock formation.
