The thread below is pretty interesting and contains data to be used with G-earth, but should be adaptable to other digital mapping gear such as OziExplorer etc:

Hi, can anybody help me in how to read a geological map? Thanks Little Gem

Hi LG
Maybe you could be a little more specific about what "part" of a geo' map you want to interpret. Even if you have had an introduction to geology/geomorphology at tertiary level - geo' maps can still seem daunting. The terminolgy and symbols are a bit of a boggle.
Maybe a year 12 or Uni text might be a good start to explain some of the terminology.
Cheers
