Google Earth Introduction

I used Google Earth several times before, but it was loaded and unloaded just for curiosity and fun. In the past two days, I saw the pictures of my hometown captured on Google Earth and began to become very interested in this software.

What is Google Earth?

I believe you will be amazed at this wonderful software.

Google's latest software called Google Earth keeps you from browsing the world. You can not only observe every corner of the world as you like, but more importantly, it gives you a new feeling, that is, how you will view the world around you in the near future.

Following Google's acquisition of Keyhole in last October, Google first launched a free map software based on satellite images for users. This is quite similar to the scheme after Picasa was acquired. Google Earth is like Google Map, the company's online Map service. Users can zoom in on a 3D Map or get a guide to driving a car.

John Hanke, general manager of Keyhole, said that Google Earth uses broadband stream and 3D graphics technology, which is like a video game that allows users to explore the world interactively-the destination to be searched can be their neighbors recently; it can be at most one corner of the world. In addition, the biggest difference between Google Earth and Google Map is that Google Earth allows users to rotate degrees to view the terrain and buildings and add comments to the Map.

　　Google Earth features:

1. Combined with satellite images, maps, and powerful Gogole search technology, global geographic information is just around the corner.

2. From Space roaming to neighbors;

3. Enter the destination and zoom in directly;

4. Search for schools, parks, restaurants, and hotels;

5. Get the driving guide;

6. Provides 3D terrain and buildings, and its viewing angle can be tilted or rotated;

7. Save and share search and favorites;

8. add your own comments.

　　Google Earth operation essentials:

1. Left click: Hold down the left button and drag the Earth at will. Double-click the landmark in the favorites folder to quickly move to the location of the landmark. Double-click the left button at any point on the earth, zoom in on the location (reduce the angle height ).

2. Right-click: Right-click and choose not to move up to increase the Angle of View height. Otherwise, the angle of view height is reduced. Double-click the Earth's point of view to increase the Angle of View height.

3. scroll wheel: Press and hold the scroll wheel, drag it freely, and change the angle of view tilt. Roll up to increase the Angle of View height. Roll down to reduce the Angle of View height.

　　What is a Google Earth landmark?

A landmark is a shortcut label of Google Earth. Just like a menu item in IE browser that can quickly open a saved webpage, a landmark allows you to quickly open a three-dimensional map of the destination to which it points.

How to use Google Earth landmarks?

Double-click.

You can add landmarks by yourself, and import and export landmarks like IE favorites, so that you can share the best places you find with your friends.
