1 Mario A. Ortiz Team 2 Second Life Tour WELCOME TO DAVID RUMSEY MAPS IN SECONDLIFE We are going to visit two places in second life; the “David Rumsey Museum” and “The Shelter Lost Lake Balloon Tour”. The David Rumsey Museum is going to be the first place that we are going to be visiting today. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Rumsey%20Maps%203/126/80/55

2 The David Rumsey Map Collection, founded in 1983, is one of the largest private map collections in the United States. With over 150,000 historical maps, the Collection's primary focus is the cartography of the world of the 18th and 19th Centuries. The Collection also has many atlases, globes and maritime charts of Oceania, the America, Asia and Europe. Digitization of the map library began in 1997; currently there are over 17,000 high resolution images of the maps, available for free at www.davidrumsey.com www.davidrumsey.com

3 DAVID RUMSEY MAPS IN SECONDLIFE Now, this museum gives any Second Life resident an opportunity to explore different maps representing different types of landforms. The maps not only show the landform, but they also provide some history to the viewer. Since we (Team two) are talking about landforms, which cover hills, mountains, lakes, oceans, valleys and any other type of landform I think that this can be one way to explore this topic.

4 We are going to go inside the museum and we are going to go to “The City of San Francisco Map”. This is located on the first floor. To enlarge the map and get more information on it all we have to do is just touch it with our avatar.

5 You will see a window asking you to select a city map, select “San Francisco” or any other map from the list. Once you see the map you have selected on the screen, in front of you, click below the map (where it says “more info”. This is going to open a new window that is going to display information about any particular map you display on the screen.

6 The tour goes on and on, but the process is the same if you want to access a map and its information. I’ll give you a minute to go around and visit some of the other maps you might want to explore.

7 There is another place that I want to show you “The Shelter Lost Lake Balloon Tour”. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Isabel/222/200/47 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Isabel/222/200/47

8 To select an object, to travel, just “click on it”.

9 Once you make your choice place your avatar in front of it. “Right click” on the object so you can see a submenu. From the submenu select “Board”. Then in a couple of seconds off you are to enjoy a tour around the island.

10 This is the “Shelter Lost Lake Balloon & Boat Tour” map. The tour takes approximately 30 minutes. You might want to finish this tour at a later time. Enjoy the ride, have fun and learn a lot!
