Google Earth, what is it ? Simply put, it is a simple software that allows the viewer to see a 3d earth with full maps. Using satellite images, Google Earth allows you to view ALMOST any region of the world.
With the sophiticated engine of Google, this software will basically locate any maps on earth for you. You simply have to enter an address in the form of "### road name, city, province, country" and when you hit go, the system will rotate the map to display your selection in a 3d earth.
Don't have any ideas of what you can look for ? Try using some simple terms such as "Paris" to view the Arc of Triumph of the Effiel Tower. Use "Egypt" and zoom in to see some of the world famous pyramids.
With the globe of the Earth at your fingers, you can basically zoom in to see any location. Be careful when zooming since not all regions are available at all zoom magnifications.
Don't wish to type a location ? No problem, the googie Earth software will allow you to manually rotate the earth world on your screen and zoom in and out as you wish with quite a good speed.
