Insert Link to Best Practice DocumentSpecial functionality
In addition to associating avalanche observations with a predefined location from your location catalog, it is also possible to drop a pin on a Google Earth map to indicate exactly where the avalanche occurred. See Providing the exact location of an avalanche or snowpack observation for more information on how to drop a pin.
