This is a short video showing the basic features of the Google Earth Pro interface. We will be looking at the four main parts of the interface that will be used throughout the course. These are:
My Places
Layers
Navigation Toggles
Buttons
In this lesson we look at the two ways of navigation in Google Earth Pro.
These are:
Navigation using the toggles
Navigation using the keyboard and mouse scroll
Practice using the keyboard and mouse method of navigation. You will find that this will be the easiest way to get around.
And remember - as it says in the video, if you get turned around - Simply go up to the top of the interface, click on view > reset > tilt and compass.
We hope you enjoy this lesson - Now with the easy fundamentals completed, its time to ramp up our skills!
Thanks, for watching this lesson.
