GDG- Maps of Gettysburg (book)?

[Tom Gilbert]

I'll have to take a look at that part of the Travelbrains CD .. I am working on Pfanz 2 right now (about half-way thru chapter 15 - up to p.365 to be exact) and I'm trying to relate the various battles and maneuvers according to time (which is, I understand, pretty difficult if not impossible to nail down with any measure of confidence) within the four hour (per Coddington p. 410) window .. I am keeping a date and time log of the campaign (down to hours and minutes Jul 1-3), which, while I'm sure there are plenty of inaccuracies, helps me gain a bit of a handle on things .. that, along with continual study of the maps and O/R and supplemental material makes for a rather slow but steady study .. since I began my "intensive" Gettysburg study in August, I've gone thru about 2/3 of Martin, all of Pfanz 1, re-read and studied Sears and Coddington, and now Pfanz 2 .. Pfanz "3" ie  Culp's Hill/Cemetery Hill is next, then I have two day 3 studies, the new Stuart book, the retreat
 book, and quite a few more specialized studies .. having fun and I guess it's keeping me somewhat out of mischief! .. tom g

Yes, I have seen such prices, but I got my used copy at a small fraction of 
that.

I understand it is to come out on CD soon? .. 

I understand that Imhof is working on the CD version now and that it will be 
available in the fairly near future.

I do have the "travelbrains" set, it is very

I think it was the TravelBrains Gettysburg Expedition Guide's animated maps 
for 
Day Two that finally pounded into my head the relationship between the Peach 
Orchard and Wheatfield actions. One of these days, I may pop for the 
"Antietam" guide as well. IIRC there are similar guides available for Second Bull Run 
and Fredericksburg and perhaps some other battles as well.
