Google Earth and The Rally

April 19, 2009

Yesterday, at The Rally, we presented our Google Earth seminar to a packed room.

It was great fun. Most of the people in the audience had already used Google Earth a little, but I know they learned a lot by the end. At one point during the seminar we mention that ‘some people think that Google Earth is just a way to look at a satellite image of your house.’ That brought a lot of nervous giggles from the crowd – apparently we were talking about them 🙂 Although we did show how to look at a satellite image of your house, we spent the rest of the hour and a half showing all the other things you can do with Google Earth, and exactly how to use it.
