:::SAL | Google Earth Mapping :::

Oogle Smith is a work in progress and we are looking for feedback from the College Community. Google Earth and Goolgle Maps are great compliments to our GIS capabilities and we need to hear from you on what you want to see.

You may open any of the files below with Google Earth (GE) or choose to save locally and then open with GE. These files are pulled from our network, so you will receive the latest updates as available.

The models do take some time to draw, so be patient...

Note: These files seem to work best with GE version 4.x

Notes:

Your terrain should be set to 1 for models to display. If you have not "fiddled" with the terrain settings, you'll be fine.

The Campus Buildings and the Building Models do not dispay well together. Turn one of the layers off for best results.

Note: These files seem to work best with GE version 4.x beta
