I've been using the overlay feature of Google Earth to match historical maps to modern landscapes. I just finished taking a couple of the Normandy Landing Bigot maps of Omaha Beach and lining them up - quite tricky, but incredibly interesting. One thing I've discovered is that modern maps are vastly more accurate than some of what they had to deal with, at least with the WWI maps I've played with.Cheers
