Lab 8 - Google
http://mason.gmu.edu/~adement/AnneDement_Lab8.kmz
Here's my Google Earth stuff. A couple of comments:
1) I went down to a fairly low level when placing the place markers for the 10 favorite places. However, on my cruise ship route, I was covering such large distances that creating the path at an extremely detailed level within each of the ports didn't seem appropriate. The cruise ship route is best viewed when all ports are visible on the route; so, the finer detailed placement of route points/place markers didn't seem necessary.
2) Also on the cruise ship route, I played around with altitude on the route but I found that it tended to blank out parts of the route when I used anything other than zero meters. So, the route has no altitude component. I also couldn't figure out how to put in arrows to show the correct order of the ports; so, I numbered them.
