Have you ever wanted to display your data on a map? Or wondered how to transfer your tabular results into points and markers in Google Maps? This hands-on workshop introduces you to Google Fusion Tables – a powerful and free utility that takes address information, converts it into latitude and longitude coordinates, and maps it using Google Maps.
“Google Fusion Tables is changing the way we communicate,” says workshop instructor and Geospatial Data Services Librarian, Eva Dodsworth. “It is one of many free online applications that offers the advantage of geo-tagging and geocoding information. You can create customized maps to display your information in a modern and easy-to-read way. You can also share your maps with others and let them edit them as well.”
