Editorial review
Google Earth is essential free software for
exploring every nook and cranny of our planet on earth as well as at the
bottom of the oceans, the Moon, Mars and the stars. It is as practical
for exploring the world as it is for creating personalized maps using
Google Earth Pro software on Windows.

Google Earth, what is it?
Google Earth is a geographic
information system (or GIS), a real 3D virtual atlas developed since
2001. In its free Pro version and here available under Windows, this
software allows you to visit the Earth, but also the Moon, Mars and
Heaven in all its glory.
The Earth and the Stars from every angle
The
mapping software assembles shots taken at different scales, from
satellite photos to detailed aerial shots. It is thus possible to visit
every nook and cranny of our planet and to follow the evolution of a
landscape, a tourist place or a district thanks to a timeline. Many
cities and regions of the world are mapped in 3 dimensions. Google has
thus been able to add relief with the modeling of 3D buildings over the
updates.
How to use it ?
Google Earth is simple, intuitive and fully
translated into French. Once the software is installed, the user can
navigate directly with the mouse by sliding the mouse in the desired
direction, then zooming in on his points of interest using the wheel.
Obviously the software has a search engine to easily find a locality on
Earth, on the Moon or on Mars.
To get off to a good start, a
guided tour presents the most beautiful wonders of the world and allows
you to go around the world, from the Eiffel Tower to the Grand Canyon,
passing by St. Peter's Basilica and the wreck of the Titanic.
Google Earth, urban guide?
Google
Earth also focuses on cities and offers a comprehensive city guide. The
interface displays different types of places such as bars, shopping
centers, video clubs, airports, cinemas or even restaurants. The user
can consult the address of a tourist place, perform a search on Google
and display the route from this place to another.
Additionally,
Google Earth also enjoys significant community support, with users being
able to add map locations, photos, textures, or even buildings, which
can be created with SketchUp Make. The software also celebrates several
global awareness actions in connection with numerous NGOs for the
protection of nature, historical heritage and human rights.
Google Earth: Earth and beyond
Google Earth Pro requires good
hardware setup especially when it comes to viewing 3D cityscapes. The
service is constantly enriched with new images, textures and more recent
and even more precise shots.
The latest versions of the software
also offer new horizons to explore: space with the Moon, Mars and the
Sky as well as the seabed! The user can thus consult a lot of
information and detailed pictures taken in space.
