We are currently developing a course that will demonstrate how to use this and other tools to build Google Earth into a useful platform for communicating field data.
The GE-Graph tool is fantastic and can be downloaded from: www.sgrillo.net/googleearth/.

This practical workshop will show teachers and expedition organizations how to create virtual fieldwork using Google Earth as a template. It will involve hands-on experience with digital cameras and GPS units creating mini-fieldwork projects in Hyde Park. Participants will then be shown how this data can be transformed into a virtual journey using Google Earth.
