As of early 2015, Google Earth Pro, which used to be a $400 product, is now free. This is a simple yet powerful tool for viewing information geographically—whether it is for viewing climate information, analyzing change over time, or tracing routes from your vacation. In this tutorial, you will learn how to create placemarks (points of interest), analyze elevation changes over the landscape, import images and shapefiles, utilize the built in library (3D buildings, weather, photo gallery, etc.), view historical imagery, navigate to a city with the directions module, geocode addresses, and create a route.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg, and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
