Green Mountain College Campus

The Making of This Map

1. Recorded GPS points using an iPhone.

2. Added placemarks to Google Earth using the GPS coordinates.

3. Added a transparent image overlay on Google Earth that acts as the border for the Google Earth Gadget.

4. Used the Snapshot View function within Google Earth to lock the focus onto the image overlay.

5. Saved the placemarks and image overlay as a .kmx file.

6. Uploaded the .kmx file to Dropbox.

7. Used the link to the Dropbox file along with the Google Earth gadget customizer to create the map.

8. Embedded the gadget code in this post.

Some nice demonstration of signal bounce off the buildings.

Meant to fulfill the requirements for Map 5: KML from GPS Points.
