This view helps to visually summarize and compare the trajectories of the early Pacific voyages. We have chosen the 1769 French map primarily because of its early publication date and public availability in high resolution (thanks to Geographicus Rare Antique Maps) for our map overlay. Two members of our Fall 2013 mapping group, Gregory Gismondi and Bryan Cardonick, applied a Google Apps script to connect and merge the digitized historic map with a Google Map of the same region.
