You will see this download preview button. Click to download the KMZ file to your computer. Then, open in Google Earth Pro.
====================
The PRO version will also open in Google Earth WEB, but you must "import" the file into Google Earth WEB. Because it's a KMZ file, the "Table Of Contents" does not work, and you must click on each placemarker to view.
If you want to view in your browser, use the WEB Browser section above.
Visit our " Historical Events Projects," which are listed under a separate page on this site.
