Google Maps API for Developers Presenter: Josh Livni Location: Birch Bay A little bit of customization can go a long way with the Google Maps API's. This session will introduce you to some of the visualizations that are possible with the Google Maps API, and how to interact with data and maps that are available in Google Maps Engine. Prerequisites: Some Javascript knowledge is recommended. Alternatively, bring a willingness to learn something new. Mobile Data Collection on Android Presenter: Tanya Birch Location: Columbia Hills Open Data Kit is a set of tools that allows you to collect field data, such as text, photos/videos, and GPS location from an Android device where there's no internet connection and then publish that data to the web when you're back online. Once you've gathered your field data, we will upload the data to the cloud. Then you'll learn how to map your data in Google Maps Engine, and export your data into Google Fusion Tables for graphing, mapping and visualization. ***NDA required Google Earth Basics Presenter: Raleigh Seamster Location: Peach Arch This session is designed for participants who are new to Google Earth or want a review of the fundamentals. We'll start with a quick crash-course on using Google Earth, a 3D virtual globe: navigation tricks, searching and more. Then we’ll dive into how to create all the basic feature types: point, lines polygons, and image overlays. We'll also practice adding already-created maps, as well as using 3D fly throughs to create animated tours. We’ll finish up with how to save your newly created maps as KML/KMZ files and how to share and/or put them on the web. 1-2pm: Lunch Location: Outside Beacon Rock Note: Google Maps API office hours with Josh Livni will be held in Birch Bay during lunch hour. 2-3:45pm: Breakout Sessions (choose one)
Advanced Topics in Google Maps Engine Presenters: Karin Tuxen-Bettman & Brian Sullivan Location: Beacon Rock This session covers a broad overview of numerous GME topics including: 1) Advanced techniques for displaying your data in GME, 2) QGIS and ESRI ArcGIS toolbars, 3) Importing terrain files for 3d visualizing in Google Earth (especially useful for Ocean bathymetry) and 4) Portable and offline options for taking GME raster layers on laptops, mobile devices or in Maps API when there is no internet! Prerequisites: You should feel comfortable with everything we did in Tuesday's Google Maps Engine plenary and/or feel comfortable with the basics of GIS. ***NDA Required for Offline / portable at end of session Earth Engine API Presenters: David Thau Location: Birch Bay The Earth Engine API (application programming interface) provides the ability to create your own algorithms to process raster and vector imagery. This session is geared toward developers who would like to analyze satellite and vector data, and possibly build their own applications which use Earth Engine. Prerequisites: You should have experience with at least one programming language, or at least not be afraid of learning as we go. ***NDA Required Google Fusion Tables Presenter: Vanessa Schneider Location: Columbia Hills Looking to tell a visual story with your data? During this session, we’ll teach you how to get started with Fusion Tables, a tool to help you host, visualize and publish your data as maps, charts and timelines. The hour will start with a brief overview of Fusion Tables, then we’ll dive into some hands-on examples to get you familiar with how easily your data can be turned into a visualization with impact. Specific topics may include: - How to map and style tabular datasets (like spreadsheets) with Fusion Tables. - Create a custom intensity map. - Import and merge GIS data with Fusion Tables. - Customize your Fusion Tables map with the Fusion Tables Wizard Prerequisites: No special skills required, but you must have a Google account to access Fusion Tables to participate hands-on. Note: Most Google Apps for Business accounts do not have access to Fusion Tables so you may need to use or create a personal account. To check with you can create a Fusion Table, sign in with your Google account and go to docs.google.com. Click the “Create” button, then “More” - you should see Fusion Tables as an option. KML Coding for Beginners Presenter: Sean Askay Location: Peace Arch This session is for those who are new to KML. We will look through the basic structure of KML, how to code common features such as points, lines, polygons and overlays, and a few more advanced features such as time. We will provide tips for writing KML by hand and testing KML in Google Earth and Google Maps. Prerequisites: For this session, you will be expected to have some familiarity with Google Earth, including creation of your own data points or layers using the tools built into Google Earth. A little experience with XML or HTML will be helpful, but is not strictly required. Break 4-5:45pm: Breakout Sessions (choose one)
Your First Google Maps API Presenter: Karin Tuxen-Bettman Location: Beacon Rock Take "baby steps" into the Maps API world. In this session, you'll created a "Hello World" Maps API webpage, and learn how to change the options (background map time, initial location, etc.). While this is taught for non-programmers by a non-programmer, we will work with snippets of code copied-and-pasted from the developers.google.com website. Prerequisites: Comfort opening an HTML page, but no prior JavaScript coding necessary. Advanced Topics in Earth Engine Presenters: David Thau & Tyler Erickson Location: Birch Bay Earth Engine supports many advanced features, such as classifying using a Fusion Table, classifying using pre-classified rasters, and applying arbitrary mathematical equations to input imagery.

Google Map Maker Presenter: Jessica Pfund Location: Columbia Hills Have you ever noticed a place in Google Maps where the roads are incorrect or missing altogether? Do you want to make sure the places you know and love are fully and correctly represented on Google Maps and Google Earth? If so, you'll want to learn to use Google Map Maker to help edit the maps seen by millions of users around the world. In this session, you will learn the basics of Google Map Maker, from adding roads, trails, and points of interest such as businesses in your town, to updating the details for existing places and features in your community. You will learn how the moderation system works to review and approve edits, and how to see what your peers are editing in specific places around the globe. Advanced KML Coding Presenter: Sean Askay Location: Peace Arch In this session, participants will dig into advanced KML topics, including 3D visualization techniques and KML Touring.
