Making Maps with Google Earth and Google Maps by Shane Bradt of the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension (April 6, 2 pm US EDT/11 am US PDT).  This webinar will demonstrate how to make interactive and 3D maps using free Google mapping tools. It explores the basics of Google Earth and Google Maps with a focus on creating maps to share with others. With Google Earth, you can show points, lines and areas with colors and icons of your choice and link to webpages, pictures and email addresses. Google Maps provides the ability to create a custom map online and share it with colleagues, have them contribute to the map, and embed your custom map in your own website.  A training manual which walks users through how to use the Google Earth and Google Maps functionality demonstrated in this webinar is available from UNH’s Cooperative Extension at http://extension.unh.edu/GISGPS/GISINFO.cfm?crs=18.  Google Earth can be downloaded at http://earth.google.com. Google Maps is available at http://maps.google.com.  This webinar is co-hosted by the EBM Tools Network, the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension, and the University of Connecticut Center for Land Use Education and Research.  Register for this webinar at www1.gotomeeting.com/register/995111968Please note, this webinar will repeat material from a prior webinar.  It will be 1.5 hrs in length to allow ample time for questions from participants.
