When it comes to spatial data, a traditional 2D map, whether on paper or digital media, offers little flexibility. Google Earth Pro enables you to compile and present information in a virtual 3D space. In addition, you’ll be able to add, view, and analyze your own information from a variety of GIS sources along with the background information hosted on Google Earth server. At the completion of this course, you’ll be able to use Google Earth Pro to: create and manipulate points, routes and polygons; import and locate addresses; import images; export a georeferenced SketchUp model to Google Earth; import ESRI Shape files to create thematic maps; and create basic animations.
