Using Google Map to represent data

To find the latitudes and longitudes of sites which you are collating the data - log onto to Google Map, right click on the location of the site and then click on the green marker and the latitude and longitude will be shown.

 

The following are the various sites in my school.

 

	Latitude	Longitude
Parade Square	1.37523	103.902154
Field	1.374803	103.901546

Canteen	1.37479	103.902141
Basketball court	1.374162	103.902117

 

A google form is generated for the group to enter the respective data they have collected:

The data which the group enter will appear on the spread sheet in Google Doc. Download it as a csv file.

 

Go to https://mapsengine.google.com/map/u/0/ and click on "new map"

 Click on "import"   

Import the csv file which you have downloaded earlier.

 Click on" Lat of Location" and a pop up menu will appear - click on "Latitude"
