Google earth is a virtual globe made by Google which uses different
satellite images to make an interactive view of the Earth. You can rotate the globe and zoom in and out
of different geographic locations. It has
features were you can see 3-D buildings, and mountains. To download the program
you just have to go in the Google search and type Google earth. Then that will give you the option to
download the program. It has a very fun
feature that is flight simulator. To get
the feature you just have to press CTRL +ALT+A.
Then you get the option to choose one of two planes, and even in what
airport you would like to begin in. Personally
I enjoy how realistic it is with the airplanes flaps, and also how interactive
it is. You can fly through Dubai and see the huge hotels since they are 3-D.
Google maps even though it is a similar program since they
are interactive and use satellite images, but Google maps functions more like a
free gps. You can use it to get
directions and it has a very cool feature which is street view. You can take a virtual walk through of cities
for example Paris. It has other cool
features like google sky, google mars, and google moon. In all of them you get different options on how
to look at the map. For example in google
sky you can see the historical map which is how people have been graphing the
galaxy throw-out time. Google maps can
give you directions to a certain place in different ways, like for example they
can show the directions if you’re waking, on a bike, car, or even the bus
routes. The street view is possible
thanks to google vans with cameras that would go around the cities taking pictures
of everything however they do protect the privacy of cars they find or people
by blurring out the license plate. All of these google map ideas came from diffrernt google employee's 20% project
