What will you learn?
This mapping tool is a must for all natural resource professionals. It is one of the best ways to develop and share map data with landowners as it allows visualization at the landscape level. You can create, save, and share project datasets freely, view historic aerial images, add GPS, photos and even your own aerial images. This section covers basic information about GE navigation, exploratory tools, searches, layers, and data creation in My Places. Data creation will consist of development of project folders and creation of points (placemarks), lines (pathways), and polygons. Importing GPS data will be introduced. Editing spatial data and descriptive information, saving and sharing data files will be covered. learn more here...
