More Features

Map My Family Tree has even more features, including:

	Place Markers to highlight certain individuals, family lines, events, etc. Select from a list of place markers of varying shapes and colors or import one or more images to use as custom place markers.

	Automatic links to Google? Maps, Google Earth and TerraServer USA so you can see your ancestral home towns on online maps, satellite images and aerial photographs. As with previous versions, Version 1.3 also includes an automatic link to MapQuest.com.
	Ability to print or publish your map as a PDF document , in addition to other electronic file formats including JPG, GIF, BMP, PNG and TIFF.
	Time scrolling tool bar so you can dynamically select which time period is displayed on the map. As you slide the thumbtrack along the scroll bar, you will see the towns "twinkling" to show the movements, voyages and migrations of your ancestors.
	Filters to display specific people and events from your genealogy database. You can filter by name, ancestor line, descendant line, date, event type and gender. This is especially helpful when you want to create maps with single family lines, births only, events from a specific time period, etc.

Automatically Check Your Place Names

Plus you can look up over 3.3-million place names from around the world, including over 100,000 US churches and cemeteries. This is especially helpful when you're not sure how to spell Great Grandma's home town or know which county she lived in.
