Advantages: Free, view the world

Disadvantages: Can sometimes be slow and lag.

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 own house from a birds-eye-view. Some famous cities have even got a 3D building option which gives you the ability to level out the earth so it is as if your walking down a street.

Google Earth can also give you directions. You enter your postcode and enter another and it will give you the best route to take to get there.

However, it can on occasion lag and become slow at loading the images. But it is showing you the entire world.

Overall, Google Earth is an amazing program which I recommend everyone downloading. Also, the best thing is is that it is completely free!

Summary: Google Earth is an amazing program which I recommend everyone downloading
