4) Using marinetraffic.com, find a logical port for your item to be trucked to.

5) Create driving directions from the "factory city" to the port (this automatically creates a new layer).

6) Using regular Google maps, place a marker on your trucking route and attach a photo/screenshot of a street view of a place on the route.

7) Using the line tool, create a logical shipping route from the foreign port to an American port.

8) Using marinetraffic.com, get a photo of a cargo vessel. Put the name and information about the vessel in the description of the line.

9) Create driving directions from the American port to your house.
