If it works.... I tried just one link, the one for Peet's Pond, and Google took me to a spot just south of Independence, KS!

I'm not sure how useful it would be (or if it actually works) so the following are some maps I created in Google Maps with HTML links to them. Click on the link in an HTML-enabled email and you should see the map in a new web page. Google Maps supports many different views (e.g. terrain and street) as well as allowing you to get directions to the location. Let me know if it works and I can add to the list and repost it from time to time. Hopefully, also, you can save the list on your computer as a reference. When reporting a sighting, you could copy the map link into your report. If you are savy with Google Maps, you could also create your own map in My Maps with a pin location on it and publish that link in your report. If our EBB group allowed for Archives, the maps could be listed there instead. Oakland Middle Harbor
