In a moment, we’ll use Google Earth and we’ll be working in the world of KML which is Keyhole Markup Language. First, what we'll do is take the map you have here and we'll export it as a KML. Then, we'll import it to Google Earth. We'll sketch up some lines and polygons, and bring all of that work back together in Fusion Tables to visualize our map. So here we are in Google Drive.
