Virtual Tour of Menantico Ponds with Google MyMaps
Never having prior use with Google MyMaps, this is a simple alternative to GIS which tends to be more complicated for your average user and is also FREE. Just like GIS, you are able to pinpoint areas of interest, add multiple layers, determine distance and coordinates, add driving directions, as well as unique customization with icons for specific locations and colors. Adding images is quick, and overall the general navigation of this program is effective for a diverse range and age group of audiences. In fact, I think this has the potential to be used in primary education for future generations as they only become more tech savvy due to ipads and video games. Menantico ponds is easily accessible through highway 55 which is one of the main shore routes for the southern new jersey area. The route is marked in blue and labeled A to B. Icons of fishing, parking, hunting, and recreation are marked.
