This section review GE basics and then extends to details about creating and editing data. Importing sources of data such as shapefile (ArcGIS) format will be covered. Another important way to enter data is your own aerial images; this section covers the image overlaying process. The free version of GE does not calculate acreages and this section will cover how this may be accomplished using third party software (EasyAcreage). Last, we will cover exporting you maps and inclusion in your management plan documents.
Online Mapping Tools for the Natural Resource Professional Webinar Series
This is the fourth 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.
