This is assignment part 2 and part 3. I did a basic search for Garfield County Library and found our library at the top of the list. The marker was placed correctly. All the info on our library was correct. Currently we don't have a web sight so there is no information on that. I went on to claim the library and tried to put in a picture of the library. However I went out and took a picture of the exterior of the building but when I went to upload it said it was too big. Then I looked at the requirements and it can't be bigger than 1MB. My picture was 1,233KB. Also can't be more than 1024 x 1024. How do I resize the picture I took to use it? I had a terrible time trying to put our hours in. We have split shifts and there is a check mark to put in split shifts but everytime I tried to put the hours for Mon, Wed and Friday and Saturday it put hours on Tues and Thurs and when I marked closed beside those two it took away one of the hours for Wed. Finally I just marked I prefered not to list the hours. I did get to the point they will send me a postcard with a pin to activate it. I am going to have to do some more practicing before I will be ready to show anyone else.

There is a lot more to Google Maps than I realized. I looked up the address 1445 K St. 68509 and found the state capitol. And yes I could tell the color of the cars parked around it. Especially the red and black. I prefered the map view. Watching the street view made me a little dizzy. I really liked the photos on the places we were to search.
