Phase: Build a GCC Train Route

Your team will create a Google Map that includes pinpoints where the stations will be, at least one picture of the area, and information that explains why the stop was chosen on your route. The team will record a screencast to present their station locations and reasons why they are the best stops for the GCC, the country, and the tourists.
