Change earth into mars. Heres a map of mars with geographic locations, locations of crafts landing site, a grid, and links to pictures of specific locations. Enjoy

I've written a story about your Mars overlay and placemarks at Google Earth Blog.
You can read the story here.

I can see that I have stayed out of this forum far too long. Nice additions to the original post. It seems like the original poster hasn't been around since mid-August. When Google Mars morphs to a Google Earth version, it looks like the resolution will improve even more.

This looks like a great idea, but it's not working completely on my machine.
I can see the longitude and latitude grid, and placemarks for geographic features and craft landing sites. What I can't see is the actual surface of the planet. (Yes, I do have the "Mars Map" layer checked.)
I've double-checked my settings and searched the help pages, but I've had no luck. I'm using GE v. 4.0 for the Mac.
I've used NASAs Big Blue Marble overlay without a problem.
Any suggestions?

wound of most recent impact on Mars:
A colorized view of a new crater on the
upper north flank of the Martian volcano Ulysses Patera.

Full article: NASA
overlay based on OP's KMZ.
open it with their map enabled!
BTW there is seem to be some problems with the grid or the placemark in the mirror of the coordinates from the article...

And, thank you!
