January 31, 2008

If you are just getting started with Google Earth, or are looking to help teach someone the basics, there are some short video tutorials developed by Googler John Gardiner (who is a documentation specialist on the GE team). John writes the Using Google Earth blog which periodically publishes posts on features of GE. So far he has published 5 short video tutorials on the basics of using GE.
The first video helps teach you the basics of “Navigating in Google Earth“:


Here is the list of currently available short video tutorials:

  • Navigating in Google Earth

  • Searching in Google Earth

  • Marking Locations in Google Earth

  • Obtaining Coordinates in Google Earth

  • Geotagging Picasa Photos in Google Earth

For more a more comprehensive collection of tips on GE, Google Earth Blog has a list of information and tips available in the GE Basics section.
