Learn Mapping with Google

I just completed a very informative series of online courses called Mapping with Google.
The courses are self-paced, where you can watch videos (or read text lessons) and apply the skills you learn. You can even connect with some Google Maps Alpha Geeks during the course via Google+ Hangouts.

At the end of the course you get a chance to put what you have learned into practice by completing a project and earning a certificate. You can learn more about the courses and register now on the Mapping with Google site. As an added bonus, all participants are given access to preview the new version of Google Maps.
