Recreation Mapping: Using Google Earth, Acme Mapper and Other Tools In-Person

We've all used Google Earth to see an aerial view of our own home. Now go further and use Google Earth, Acme Mapper and other software tools for assisting with your recreation planning. Janice Shepherd regularly plans outdoor adventures for herself and her friends and will be sharing her self-taught knowledge of these tools. She will also discuss map reading and the difference between locations given in Longitude/Latitude and other systems. You are welcome to bring your own laptop as there will be some time during and after the talk to try things out. Or you can wait to try out what you learn at home.

Janice Shepherd is an active member of Western Slope Adventurers, the Grand Junction chapter of the Colorado Archeological Society and the Grand Junction chapter of Great Old Broads for Wilderness. She finds trip planning and mapping skills are useful for each of these groups.
