The Great Wall Forum is proud to announce the release of our first comprehensive map of the Great Wall of China. This map is packaged as a kmz file for use with Google Earth.

The map is free, but you must comply with the license agreement to use it. Basically, the agreement contains these rules:

• The map is only for personal, non-commercial use.
• You may not copy, redistribute, or modify the map.
• You are strongly urged to help protect and preserve the Great Wall.

The map is a community project. Users are encouraged to contribute additions, corrections, and suggestions. Special thanks to our members chinoook and Kim, who provided the majority of the data and did most of the work in creating this map.

Only forum members can download the map. Guests must register before downloading the attached map.

Please note that this map does not represent all of the data we have generated so far. Certain locations and categories have been omitted for various reasons. Please let us know if you are interested in the complete map.

The Great Wall of China map is a work in progress. The current release is dated 2008/07/04. Please check back regularly for updates as we continually improve the map.

Hi, guys. That's a fantastic job. I am sure it will help us very very much.

I have been looking at this map most all day today. I never knew that there was so much of the Great Wall that can be seen on Google Earth. I think you guys did a great job finding and tracing all of these locations. I will look at this map more this week but I wanted to say, congratulations on a job well done. I'm happy to have this map and I look forward to future updates.
