Google Earth


  • Google Earth is a free, downloadable application which combines satellite imagery, maps, 3D terrain and 3D buildings to create a highly realistic virtual globe
  • Sometimes a simple Google Earth screen shot is all you need to tell a story or make a point
  • You can display your custom content as overlays in Google Earth
  • You can share your custom content overlays with others, using KML files
  • Google Earth supports full 3D viewing including detailed topography and virtual flight tours through your content
  • Ideal when a fully-3D world and an immersive, virtual-reality experience are most important
  • Best of both worlds: host your custom Google Maps on your website, and allow interested users to view the same content as an overlay in Google Earth
  • Get Started using Google Earth!
