"Mastering KML in Google Earth"
KML is an XML based file format used to display geographic data in Google Earth, Google Maps, and Google Maps for Mobile. Data displayed in Google Earth is contained in KML files, and in our new e-learning course you will master the use of KML for creating advanced applications.

"Dynamic Google Earth Applications "
In this course you will learn how to use the Google Earth <NetworkLink> element in conjunction with the Python programming language to dynamically push your GIS data to end users in the Google Earth display.

"Building Web Based Google Earth Applications" The Google Earth JavaScript API and Plug-in let you embed Google Earth into your web pages. Using the API you can draw markers, lines, and polygons, drape images over the terrain, add 3D models, or load KML files, allowing you to build sophisticated 3D map applications. You can also embed the 3D digital globe into your existing Google Maps applications.

"Google Maps For Your Apps"
This course is designed to enable you to take advantage of Google Maps for your website. You will learn how to create maps, add map controls for user interactions (zooming, and panning), programmatically alter the map extent, add points of interest to the map, add custom icons, geocode addresses on the fly, read addresses from a database or XML file, and display aerial photography.

"Creating Mapplets with Google Gadgets" Mapplets are widgets or mini-applications that are served inside the Google Maps site. You can put anything inside this mini-webpage that you can put into a normal webpage, including HTML, JavaScript, and Flash. Google provides a JavaScript API that gives the Mapplet access to services such as manipulating the map, fetching remote data, and storing user preferences.

"Arc2Earth" As an ArcGIS extension, Arc2Earth was initially built as a highly efficient tool for exporting ArcGIS data including the geometric representations of the data, labels, renderers, graphics, and layouts into a format that Google Earth understands.  However, as you’ll see, Arc2Earth has evolved into more than just an ArcGIS data export tool for Google Earth.  In addition to all the great export functionality you can also import KML/KMZ files directly to ArcGIS in geodatabase format, view raster tiles (aerial and hybrid imagery) provided by Microsoft, Yahoo, and Ask.com from within ArcMap, export your data as map tiles to Google Maps and Virtual Earth, publish data to web enabled viewers, automate exports through the scheduler process, and much more.

"Google Earth for ArcGIS Users " In this course students learn how to integrate existing ESRI format data including shapefiles and geodatabases into a Google Earth format for display and manipulation. Students will master the use of various ArcGIS tools for directly converting both vector and raster data into Google Earth KML files. In addition, we will cover a number of other important topics including the ability to add a fourth dimension to your data (time), use Google Earth in an offline mode without the use of an Internet connection, create KML files through the use of a text editor, and integrate your existing imagery data into the display.  Finally, we'll also explore the various navigational, display, and search tools for optimizing your visualization experience with Google Earth.
