While the first two links posted; our class’ Geography 310 blog spot and our school’s Geography Department; were required links to post, the later three were of my personal choice. Google Earth was my first choice because the new GIS programs and software used to create a mapping program such as Google Earth is amazing. These types of GIS advancements are leading the way to new technologies and give the opportunity to the public to open up more cartography related jobs in the future. My second choce being the National Geographic website is because of the relevance in which National Geographic is able to relate a significance between maps and the world as we know it today. My third link takes you to the United States Geological Survey website where maps are most closely correlated with up-to-date information on natural phenomena occurring across the globe. The USGS Department is also a good place to search for government jobs including entry level positions.
