Google Earth was first launched around the year 2001 as a programme called EarthViewer 3D. In basic terms is is an interative globe of the entire planet earth. In 2005 it was renamed & relaunched as Google Earth & is available free to download to any computer & also as an app for I-Phones. The way the application works is by showing different photos of the planet. All taken from different focus points with differing amounts of zoom. You can enter the place that you would like to look at. You can then zoom in all the way from outer space to about 100 feet off the ground. This is pretty good if it was just famous landmarks, but it isn't. Every city, ...  Read the complete review

Google Earth is a great free application that utilises the latest satellite imagery to produce a 3D virtual world. The application itself is quite light as it uses the internet to stream the images rather than downloaded the whole virtual globe to your desktop. This makes it quite quick to download and install, and doesn't take up too much space on your hard drive. The interface of Google Earth is very simple and fairly easy to use. You can freely navigate around the globe, zooming in and out, or using the search tool you can quickly find a specific location on the map. Similar to the search on Google Map you can enter Countries, Cities or even Post ...  Read the complete review

Tell anybody in the world 50 years ago that in 50 years time you will be able to see satellite photos of any place in the world, mars and the moon for free on a computer, and some might ask what a satellite photo is. But when they knew, people would ask what the hell you were smoking. But don't worry, it is true! Google earth allows you to visit any place on earth. Any. You can explore your home town, or where your friend lives. It is that simple. You can get a good quality photo from 50 feet up I think it is. You can see your house just as it was when the picture was taken. I am going to scotland next week, and I could check out the exact house where I was ...  Read the complete review

Google Earth is an amazing idea that was invented by the boffins at Google. It gives you the ability to see all over the world anytime you want, right at you computer. You can now view anywhere in the world in high resolution pictures which is, in my opinion, great! Google Earth is basically a program which shows at first shows you the earth from space in a 3D Model. From there you can then spin the earth to where you want to view and zoom in to see it in extremely good detail. Its that good you can see people walking on the streets and cars driving up and down roads. You can use this to view famous landmarks, go to famous cities or even view your ...  Read the complete review

Google Earth is fast becoming like a favourite friend to me as I learn more and more about what it's useful for. The Basics: Google Earth is a free to download program which lets you zoom in to anywhere on the earth and look around. There are many different layers which you can place over your view of where ever you are looking at to assist you in whatever your task might be at the time. Using The Program: When I first started using Google Earth, I was quite impressed by the simplicity of the way it works. Whether you're someone who's used to computers (like me) or someone who's a bit of a novice (like my step dad), it's actually very ...  Read the complete review
