Ah, they're describing the point where the line turns from solid to dashed, as seen clearly in this 1808 version of the expedition's maps.

That's my thinking too.

Merci! You have agreed with some of mine, so sadly I'm still stuck on whether they're descriptions of the landscape or instructions about what to put on that section of the illustration...

Yes, that was me 4 months ago—they said they were waiting for one review & needed a little longer.

I went with them (not "Loxford") because they were one of few who were accepting at the time (several Aus UPs told me they have "too much Australian material"), but perhaps now I have more options.

Ooh, no I don't. I don't often use KML files so I haven't had to fiddle with their inner workings very much.

Or geojson.io, if you have a KML file already?

Ah right, you need something web-based. I've just come across Allmaps, which looks interesting but I haven't tested it so I can't say if it's useful...

It's been a few years, but I am pretty sure you can add a georeferenced layer into GoogleEarth - would that suit the needs of your class?
