Course:ARCL140 Summer2020/About Us
This is a sandbox project to help all members of the class to get used to editing a UBC Wiki page and to using Google MyMaps.
Dr Doyle has created a map project with Google MyMaps called ARCL 140 Memorable Places. Navigate to that map and add your own Memorable Place. Illustrate it with your own photo if you like, and then enter the name and geographical coordinates into the table below.
Notes on the MyMap:
- You will need a Google account to add a point to the map.
