Bri's Google Earth Project

For my Google Earth Project, I chose to show the hometowns of my favorite basketball players of both college level and NBA and WNBA levels. There are many tools in Google Earth like paths and image overlay. I used both of these to show pictures of the players. I used paths to show moves that some players did as a child. There is no specific order to which i show the players because I admire all of them the same. 
Using the application Google Earth was very complicated and some tools used on it don't make sense. Some difficulties that I faced was the polygon tool. I have yet to figure out what this tool is used for but I used it to show a large area that I was talking about. The path feature was also tricky because if it is a large area that needs to be connected, it can be difficult to connect. Overall, I like this application because it is easy to find directions for long distances and the pictures are very clear and understandable. Technology has advanced very much over the years and Google Earth definitely shows it with it's details, right down to the cars in the parking lot.
