Google Earth Map |
Description:
Google Earth is a free program from Google that allows you to "fly" over a virtual globe and view the Earth through high-resolution graphics and satellite images. It is greatly superior to static maps and satellite images. The images are detailed enough that in most populated areas you can clearly see your house, objects in your yard and recognize your car parked along the street. A digital elevation model within Google Earth allows you to view the landscape in 3D.
Recent Images, Updated Regularly
Most of the images in Google Earth were acquired within the past three years and Google is continuously updating the image set for different parts of the Earth. Large cities generally have more recent and higher resolution images then sparsely inhabited areas. Google has the ability to rapidly integrate new images into the program for areas that have been hit by a natural disaster to assist in recovery and relief efforts.
