I have heard of Google Earth for a few years now but never thought much of it. Whenever I saw it, It was always just a glance. Just a few days ago, My dad sheowed us where we're going in July. I was so fasinated at how it really works. My dad even showed use how big the places are. Some of it was even 3D, so it was like you were actually there. For the past days, I've 'Google Earthed' France, Vegas, and New York. I flet like I was right there standing in the big city. It is just so amazing. I found a new thing to do when I'm bored and feel like 'traveling'.

Microsoft has a Terra Server which is only usable by government officials and agencies that they are launching sooner or later to the public if they have not already, but it is 10x nicer than Google Earth, but Google Earth is amazing for public use no doubt. I don't download the program anymore, I just use the integrated satellite feature in Google Maps on their website.

Wow. I can't imagine what it looks like if it's 10 times nicer. That's a knockout right there. I so want to see it. Sadly, I'm not apart of the government agencies.

I used it once, But it could have been better if it was more realistic or live.

Lol I actually use google earth for work purposes. Site maps etc. When I need a more in depth map, though, I use Topozone.
