Google Earth?


Google just recently launched their Google Earth Service. It's basically like the Google Maps with satellite imaging but this time the coverage has expanded to outside the US & Canada and in certain areas, the user can even tilt the image to get the 3D images of the landscaped and buildings. Although their are paid services which offer more detailed searches and images, the free portion give me some delightful experiences. But unlike Google Maps which is web-based, Google Earth will be need a downloadable program to run.

I was so amazed that when I searched locations in the Philippines, that not very many places has been photographed. Fortunately though, Cavite was one of those with extensive pictures and I was able to see our house from a "bird's eye-view".
