Google Earth is amazing. Like many people, I've spent quite a lot of time checking out places I've been and places I'd like to go. This lab taught me that it's also an amazing tool for displaying data I choose to add.
This week we learned how to convert files from ArcMap to Google Earth format (KMZ files). After converting the Dot Density map of S. Florida from last week's lab, we created a tour of 7 locations within that area, including Tampa Bay (above), as well as Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa and St. Petersburg. As we added these stops to the tour, we used Google Earth tools to zoom in and around, choosing an interesting perspective for each.
