I’ve loved maps for as long as I can remember. I think I was in first grade when I saw and felt a globe with topography, where you could feel the mountains. Ever since then, I’ve loved exploring physical maps and atlases and creating my own. Thankfully for my map-loving self, technology offers us more access to information about our earth than ever before. I’ve used Google Earth for quite a while, and now that it is web based, it is even easier to access. In this post, I will point out some of its features, but also some other Google geographic tools you may be less familiar with.
