Google Earth Includes Refuge Boundaries
Google Earth allows users to display high-resolution aerial and satellite imagery of
virtually any place on earth – and now the boundaries of the National Wildlife
Refuge System.
The basic free version of Google Earth includes dozens of data layers with an
assortment of mapping information such as roads, geographic pictures, famous
places, businesses, 3D buildings and picture galleries. When a layer is turned on,
icons appear with links to additional information.
To view the Refuge System, first download the most recent version of Google
Earth from http://earth.google.com/index.html and click “download Google Earth
5.0.: To activate the Refuge System boundaries, in the “layers” panel on the
bottom left of the screen, scroll down to “places of interest” and click the plus sign
(+) to expand the list. Scroll down again to the “parks and recreation areas” and
expand this list. Click in the empty box to the left of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The Refuge System boundaries are now turned on.

presentations. More advanced options available in the free version of Google
Earth include adding customized information, recording a personalized flyby tour,
advanced viewing option such as 3D terrain and ocean bathymetry, and adding
map plug-ins to Web sites. GPS tracks, including from many Garmin, Magellan,
and NMEA-compatible devices, can be uploaded to Google Earth, allowing a user
to visualize running, hiking and biking trails.
