Lab 12

Lab 12s objective was to convert our Dot Density map from last lab to a KML file for import into Google Earth.  Google Earth is a very powerful program that contains quite a bit of data about various places on earth.  It allows you to zoom in on specific place as well as create tours of places in 3D that can include quite a bit of information about that specific place.  For me this was an easy lab because I have used Google Earth before and am famililar with the navigation and operation of this program.  The one thing I did learn about Google Earth is that some of the data is inputed by LiDAR imagry which is a very accurate satillite type.  This type of imagry contains a large amount of detail as seen below with the picture of the St. Pete Times Forum, the area located in downtown Tampa.  The fact that you can read the sign on the front as well as see the ads diplayed on the area is absolutely amazing to me.
