The Great Wall Forum is pleased to announce the release of version 3 of our detailed map of the Great Wall of China in the Beijing area. 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.

The map contains the following features:

• Major Great Wall location markers
• Detailed Great Wall paths
• Driving routes from downtown Beijing
• Hiking/walking trails

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

Please note that this map only covers the Beijing area. You should download the complete map from this forum if you are interested in other areas.

The Beijing Great Wall map is a work in progress. The current release is dated 2009/04/17. Please check back regularly for updates as we continually improve the map.

thanks to think about people who use Linux or Mac, and change the file extension (I can't read MSI files on my Ubuntu system)

The msi file is a Microsoft installer. It will only work with Windows XP SP2 or later. It will install the kmz file to your documents folder. We need an installer to incorporate the license agreement, to display release notes, and to verify the integrity of your installed kmz file. Currently we don't support any other computer or operating system besides for PC Windows.

Sorry, I should have explained that in the original post.
