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.
Online Mapping Tools for the Natural Resource Professional Webinar Series
This is the third in a 4-part series intended for natural resource professionals to become familiar with important sources of online mapping tools and data without the need for a complex GIS program. These tools will provide the basic mapping necessary for land management decisions and plan development and can assist in your work with landowners. While no experience in digital mapping is required for this class, even experienced mappers will learn new ways to create and share basic land management maps with stakeholders. These tools are simple enough that you may teach others their basic use, empowering them with the ability to develop and share their own work.
