dalius Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) I just installed Google "Earth" on my machine. It's a very cool tool. It link allows you to jump around the globe and check out pretty much any place you like. It's all in 3-D and you can zoom in/out, change you angle of perspective so you can really see things like elevation differences, mountains, etc. I'm guessing it downloads data from google's severs as it needs it because that is way too much info to store on your computer. Anyway, it's cool to be able to go check out different areas of the earth and get an idea of the terrain and general geographic layout. Urban areas in general have better resolution, non-populated areas have a ways to go in terms of quality, but it's a start! Gotta love technology. Grand Canyon...
