Google has a
fantastic new program, and free for those of you with a broadband connection. It's called Google Earth.
First, how do you get Google Earth
Get Google Earth is simple. When you click on Earth ,,, a document entitled -Partez exploring Google Earth window, Search and Discover will open Scroll down and click Get Google Earth (free version). Click Download Google Earth and follow the instructions to install the program on your computer.
What you will see
When Google Earth opens, you will see the Earth from space, a search box and two panels labeled "Places" and "Layers". You can ignore these for now and just type an address into the search box. You must include the address, city and state, with these three elements separated by commas. For example, in 1108 Walnut St, Omaha, NE.
After entering the address - and your home can be a good place to start - Google Earth will rapidly enlarge the address exactly as if you were zooming from outer space. It will stop about 1,000 feet above the address you searched on. You can still expand by using the + and - buttons at the bottom of the program, but the picture can become blurred, depending on what the screen resolution is set. . (Note: Be sure to check your monitor settings to make sure they meet Google's guidelines)
What happens next
Once you have zoomed in on your house (or any other address you entered in the search box), you can choose another address or a place like the Grand Canyon. Google will do "fly over" to the new address or location as if you were flying in the world on a very fast jet aircraft.
Google Earth is just a kick.
