Google Earth is absolute Gold!

I’m blown away. Google has just released version 4 of the Google Earth program, and it is astounding.

If you don’t know about the product here is a short description. Google calls it “A 3D Interface to the planet” but it is so much more!

The educational uses of Google Earth are unlimited. To be able allow someone to view almost any location on Earth, no matter how remote, is something we couldnt have dreamed of 20 years ago.

Download Google Earth Here: Google v4 (Get the Beta, the one on the right)

Visit the Google SightSeeing Website here: Google SightSeeing

If you still haven’t installed Google Earth, here is a list of some really cool things that you can find on there.
