Module 7. Final mapping assignment of Computer Cartography. For module 7 we had to make a population density map in Google Earth. The population density map included the shapes of 23 southern Florida counties along with shapes for surface water features. In order to create the map in Google Earth first we had to convert layers in ArcPro into KML/KMZ files. The process of converting files in ArcPro is very simple, however you have to make sure that items such as symbology are good to go as you lose some abilities to change data in Google Earth. Getting data to display in google earth is simple. We added a pre-made legend in the form of a image file. The resulting map is not bad and I could see how it could be very useful when wanting to show varying levels of details or different views of an area of interest. Below is the dot density map created. 

The second part of this weeks assignment was to use the data displayed in the map above and put together a Google Earth tour of various cities within Southern Florida. Putting together a tour was fairly simple and could be pretty interesting. The imagery available in Google Earth could make for a really nice presentation. It was interesting to see the 3D elements such as buildings and trees. The most difficult part of putting together the tour was deciphering the file hierarchy in Google Earth. It took me a couple tries to figure out how to save things in order to create a tour that contained all the necessary data. I would like to practice some more in Google Earth particularly when it comes to moving around a scene. I tried to pan and move around to get different views during my tour however moving around with a mouse creates odd camera angles unless you are really steady.
