I started work on a Google Earth "Layer" that contained the major Rifts NA locations - could send you what I've done so far if you like. Bit basic at the moment though!

I had a .JPG of a flat earth map post apocalypse on my old PC and lost it... It was pretty nice. Now all I have is an atlassof the continental US I scanned and edited... its incomplete but it serves as an ok reference for things like distance. For some reason none of my players have opted to play a magic user, thus they pretty much hoof it every where.
Be at peace, my people. All shall be looked up.

Just how hard is it to make those layers and modifications to Google Earth, is it something your average end user would be able to do, or is it something that requires some sort of programming experience.
P.S. This thread reminds of my sig pic.

Doesn't making those kinda maps require use of the GoogleMaps API? And if so does anyone have the software and is willing to help out?
I looked into this awhile back but came to the decision that I didn't want the maps bad enough to spend money on it AND have to do all the work myself.
Damn, being lazy gets annoying sometimes.
