Google Earth
Google keep on churning out these cool things!
What is it?
Google Earth combines satellite imagery, maps and the power of Google Search to put the world’s geographic information at your fingertips.
I’ve just had a little play with it and basically it’s flying around like Superman . You have the world at your fingertips in 3D and you can hop from one place to another at a click of a button. You can also plan a “sightseeing” route, hit play and away you go… zoom in to the landmark… zoom out… earth rotates… zoom into the the landmark… etc. Around the world in 80 seconds! Very good detail and excellent for those skin flints who can’t afford a round the world ticket!
