In this session we’ll introduce you to Google Earth and cover the basics of how to create a simple 3D map with all the feature types - points, lines, and polygons - for mapping Indigenous knowledge and traditional land use. You’ll also learn how to add further detail to mapped sites using text and images. Finally, we’ll discuss methods of sharing your map with others.
