Google Earth
Google Earth is a stand alone Google application based on a product originally developed by Keyhole, Inc, which Google acquired in 2004. Essentially a globe that sits in one\'s computer, the technology uses satellite imagery that allows the user to both zoom in to a particular place or pull back for an overhead view. Using GE in conjunction with other Google features such as google maps allows the user more flexibility and interaction to locate and explore virtually any spot in the world
