CMaP Tree MappingWe practiced mapping trees at Alta High School and adding them to a CMaP. Then we practiced adding different layers to our map to provide additional visual information.
The different layers are shown below and the complete interactive map is on the right. |
CMaPPractice map where we created a track of our initials, downloaded it into the Basecamp software, and then added it to a map in our CMAP account.
