Measurement lessons will go beyond the simple measurement of point A to point B and demonstrate how linear measure can be applicable to real world problems. The ruler tool in Google Earth can measure distances in centimeters, yards, miles, and other units. You'll need to use it in a variety of situations.
Make sure you know how to select and deselect the tool, change the units of measure, and measure with accuracy. Some problems may require the measurement of great distances and so you need to know how to rotate the globe with the keyboard arrow keys or measure selections from the Search results. Additional assistance on the ruler tool can be found in the Google Earth and Xtranormal tutorials. |
