This week, for our final project, we created a dot density map in Google Maps. We were also tasked with creating a Google Earth tour of the spots highlighted with yellow pins.
I had little experience using Google Maps for GIS projects before this week, and I learned a lot. I now better understand KML files and how Google Earth operates as a spatial software. I enjoyed using the geo-processing tools to convert ArcGIS layers to KML files and creating a KMZ Map. Creating the Google map tour was the hardest task, in my opinion, and the thing I was most unfamiliar with. After completing the Lab, I feel I have grasped the concepts enough to implement them in later projects. Overall, I think I learned a lot and will take this knowledge with me into future projects.
