My friend Jess Fromm showed me this really cool feature on
Google Maps that allows you to create an interactive Google Map! In the ever
changing world of journalism, interactive multimedia is the future, so what
better skill for a Techno JAP to have than interactive multimedia experience?
Traveling
is one of my passions, so I made a Google Map where we can all share our
favorite places, near and far. I pinned Florence, Italy, where I spent a
fantastic summer studying abroad and Driftwood Cabana Club, located in Sea
Bright, NJ, where I spent many wonderful summers with my family. Pin your
favorite places on my map, called Our Favorite Places, and tell me why you love
them!
Here’s how:
1. Search
your location in the map’s search bar
2. Click
on the pin
3. Save
to map (Our Favorite Places)
4. Click view map
5. Edit
(to add your description)
6. Save
map ("Done")
View Our Favorite Places in a larger map
I use google maps all the time and never knew about this feature! The screen shots are helpful too. Techno JAP does it again!!! <3
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think there is a C++ code you can program to have it automatically update your Google Maps with where you've been on the globe by tracking your GPS signal. You should definitely look into that, it's a key tool to have for any Techno-JAP!
