There was a time when explorers sail around the world using compass. Hundreds of years later, a kid from an elementary school can explore the earth in a virtual 3D globe using Google Earth on a computer.
In fact, anyone who has internet access today can explore the Earth, his country and his own hometown in vivid details using this incredible program. All he has to do is type the particular address or latitude and longitude, and Google Earth will “fly” you to the location.
Google Earth has been proven to be really useful in different fields. In fact, CNN uses Google Earth in highlighting the exact location of where the news is coming from. Furthermore, students and even senior citizens find this technology really beneficial for them.
Anyone can download Google Earth for free. In fact, Google Earth is now one of the most popular 3D desktop applications. It has been estimated that there are as much as 250 million Google Earth users worldwide. Many enjoy this application so much because it is like a combination of flight simulator, atlas and encyclopedia. Users can even add information like photos, notes, and even their own reviews on a certain restaurant. They can thumbnail a certain place in order for them to remember it and map routes from one place to another.
