Google Earth 7.1

Download Google Earth and have the world at your fingertips – quite literally. The novelty of being able to span across the globe in the comfort of your own home has not lost its appeal. And now with the announcement Google Earth Pro will be free, it is all the rage.

Through the use of satellite imagery, maps and the wealth of information from Google search, we can get a glimpse of those far-off lands in the tap of a finger. With a huge bank load of images, we can get a real visual treat as to how people live in distant lands. When you download Google Earth, it provides great snippets of information which help you divulge deeper into the culture and history of whichever area you are exploring.

This exclusive tour of the world has no setbacks and is a fun way to burn a few extra hours. Start from eternal depths of space and a little manipulation can drop you down into exotic locations, renowned landmarks and other place of interest. It takes a lot to quell the excitement of having the freedom to freely explore the four corners of the world. Christopher Columbus, eat your heart out! Its educational advantages are only out ruled by the fun factor. This really makes the world a smaller place. It also has great practicality; get driving instructions, tilt and rotate to explore the 3D terrain. More specifically, you can save your travels and add any notes making it easier to revisit whenever you like.

The only real setback would have to be the user interface. The buttons are small and discreet. Handling is a bit off. Whilst you are cruising your way to new lands, the navigation can be a bit jerky and leaves room for confusion. But in all honesty, we are willing to overlook that. Taking into consideration it is a step into the future, we can forgive those few interface flaws and we are ready to download Google Earth. And the Google Earth standalone installer means you can get Google Earth and save the installer for any other rainy day.
