Advantages: Completely Free

Disadvantages: Many Blurred Areas

Google Earth is free of the website and is a satalite image from around the world. It facinated me so much and its all for free. Although you can pay for the beter version. You can even type in a streetname and it will come up. It make you feel like you are flying over the world.

How Does It Compare to Others
From what i know there isn't another piece of sofware which has a satalite image and if there is i havent heard of it but the great thing about the software is that it is free . It is a very unique piece of software its in a world of its own. I think there will be more companies making a satalite piece of software and trying to better it so if you like it now. It should be fantastic soon

Value For Money
Cleerly the value for money is great as it is free of charge. Although you can buy Google Earth Plus for $20 or Google Earth Pro for $400 so pressumably those versions are upgrades from the free edition and they might be advertising a demo version to make people buy the other versions. Google fails again fails again to let us down. I would also say the price will fall in the future.

Image Quality
The imagae quality in some areas of the world is breathtaking, its fabulous it really does feel like your just on a skyscraper looking down on everything. The images are really clear in 90% of the world. But on 10% they are blurred for no apparent reason.

What I Do On This Software
What i liek doing on this software is looking up football stadiums and loooking how big they are and what the surroundings are like. What i also like goin on this software is trying to find special places like 'eifel tower' or 'leaning tower of piza'. It is very interesting and perfect to do if you are board. I also try and find my friends houses and the route i walk to get there so i have used this software a lot and i cant really get boaring

Features
There are many features to feast your eyes on, on this piece of software.
*You can zoom to look closer at things which helps immensly in some cases.
*You can tilt the image to give yourself a different looking perspective with a different angle
*You can choose to have the street names on or not.
*You can locate all the special buildings
*You can locate all the resturants
and many, many more.

Difficulty
This software is really easy and is self explanitory you dont have to learn how the software works. Google just make it obvious . Everything you want is where you want it to be. So well done google on that account.

Downsides
The only real downside is not everywhere is a clear picture and that should be googles next task to be. To make all the images perfect. I live in nottingham which is a big and well know place and the whole city is blurred but then you can look at a town like lincon and it is clear. So it is a bit suprising but as i said its only a minority of places which is blurred

Summary
Download this of the website you have got nothing to lose, if you like it enough you can look into buying the other additions which cost money

Summary: This is a great piece of software which lets you see a satalite view for anywhere in the world
