M7: Neo Cartography / 3D Mapping
For the module 7 lab assignment, we used Google Earth Pro to create a 3D Map of South Florida populated with KMZ files that contained information on the population and the bodies of water in the area. In order to prepare the data to be uploaded to Google Earth Pro, we first had to convert the features to KMZ files using ArcGIS Pro. Then to begin putting the project together in Google Earth Pro, we uploaded the converted KMZ files and overlayed the image of the legend. We also had to add placemarks at 6 different locations in South Florida to easily switch to them while creating the tour for the final deliverable. The finished product shows the county lines, population density, bodies of water, and a tour of the highest populated places in South Florida. Shown above is a screenshot of the map created.
