Using Google Maps, Google Street View, and Google Earth on your PHONE and creating hyperlinks Google Maps Type in your search term. You might need to try different phrases to get what you want. Pull the bottom screen up to see the Overview and click on Photos Switch to “Street View & 360” and search through the images listed, opening them by clicking on them. Once in the 360 degree view you can move your view around by swiping on the screen (you can also do this to the smaller preview images in the list). Once you have found the view that “explains the ways in which it augments understanding of the monument/place/site/object itself, beyond your readings or what has been discussed in class” save the view as the choice for your Spatial Exploration Project entry. To do this click on the “share” icon (a square with an arrow projecting from it) that I’ve outlined in red at the top of the page. At this point you can text or email yourself the link or copy it to paste into a document. To create a hyperlink in your document, highlight the text you want to be connected to your view, paste the copied url you made from the previous share screen, hit ”go” or “enter,” and that text will now have the link embedded in it. Google Street View While less well known than Google Maps, Street View allows you to walk the streets of the location you choose. Once again, you type in your search term. You can choose between map view and satellite view in settings. If the blue lines that mark the streets Google has photographed don’t show up, zoom out a bit. To see the Street View and 360-degree choices, swipe up on the menu at the bottom of the screen. You can change the views by clicking on your screen in a different location. Street View allows you to click on the arrows and virtually walk along the “street” that you’ve chosen. Sharing photos with Street Views is the same as for Google Maps, as is the process of copying the link into your document. You can even take and import your own 360-degree photo sphere using Google Street View. Google Earth Google Earth has the same search process as the first two examples, but takes you to a view of the earth as you fly from place to place. Google Earth allows you to operate in 2D or 3D mode and by clicking on the pegman icon the Street View and photo sphere locations are highlighted. As the screen on the right relays, you then tap on a location to explore. To share views from Google Earth click on the icon in the top right and it will pull up the choice to share a link. After that you follow the same process as you did for Google Maps or Street View and also for copying the link into your document..
