In this workshop, you’ll learn the basics of Google Earth mapping and how this technology can help you manage and track weed control.
Our presenter Michele Sabto has over 20 years of experience using mapping software and teaching others how to use it.
Participants will learn how to:

Create maps of planned works in Google Earth and Google My Maps including drawing polygons.
Mark sections of their property requiring weed control.
Add placemark labels and organise folders.
Export, convert, compress and resize maps and files.
