Google Earth - Your Personal Business Tool



Perhaps you have already seen high-resolution and satellite imagery as well as photos online. Ever wondered how it was captured? This is the amazing feature of Google's another innovation - the Google Earth. It is another program of Google Inc. that has the purpose of providing geographical information about the Earth.

It basically displays satellite images of the Earth's surface. Imagine the possibilities it can give you. You can take a look at places without even going there; you can get directions of how to get there and many more. Actually, these images have been used in many ingenious ways while changing our perception about the world around us.

Since Google Earth showcases 3d aerial photo shots of any places on earth, you can search for the location of your home, school or office. It's like you are touring around the world in a virtual kind of way. Isn't that amazing?

Furthermore, it has an interactive feature, a community showcase that allows anyone around the globe to contribute information for Google Earth's development. With this, it now has become possible for even the uninhabited terrains of Grand Canyon to be viewed in 3d version. It is because of its zoom slider function that allows a terrain tilt in the view mode.

Google's new tool comes in different versions. It has a downloadable version free of charge and is perfect for personal use. Its latest versions have more advanced features. The Google Earth plus, for example, has features that involves the use of a GPS device.

GPS Data importation is recognized as points which are categorized either as Tracks, Waypoints or Routes. Track points are paths imported through this application. These points are automatically recorded every so often. Waypoints are generally marked with a name like "home". The Routes gives directions as to where to go.

Another remarkable version is the Google Earth Fusion. It integrates geospatial data into the Enterprise system via Google Earth server. It supports the generation of Google images and 3d version models. Moreover, it has unique graphical interface that is convenient to use. This newest version displays street level images seemingly similar to Google maps. It gives you a 360 degree panoramic view of city streets in countries like Australia, France, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Spain, United States and other big countries in the world.

Today, Google Earth has been very beneficial in any business industry. It serves as a channel for clients and business companies to meet. It provides street views of business location and directions when the clients try to search them. In the future, expect to see even more ingenious uses of Google Earth.
