Map The official Great Wall Forum map of The Great Wall of China

There is some good material on that thread, but by far the best, most accurate, complete, and up-to-date maps of The Great Wall of China can be found here.

Default Re: Mapping the Great Wall with Google Earth and Google Maps

I am new here. I do not understand why I cannot find/identify the Great Wall on Google Map/Earth. I entered this site because I was told there is a file here for this.
I hoped that I can find on Google Earth a 3Dh view, smth spectacular, because I don't have the possibility to visit it for now.
What happens, why this information is not public?
Is it smth secret, or what?

The images in Google Earth are satellite photos, and since the Great Wall is not very wide, the view is not spectacular. In Google Earth, go to Layers-Geographic Web and turn on the Panoramio Check box. Then you can see photos along the Great Wall by clicking the blue boxes on the map. Or just go here to see some spectacular photos.

Try to check this file:

Great Wall Map Version 5

That will show you where to look for the wall.
