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.
