Google Earth Summary

While many people have heard of and use Google Map, there's quite a few that have never heard of Google Earth and don't know what it's used for. In short, this application is used to view different areas of the world using satellite images. You can view the area from the sky or, depending on what you're looking at, you can zoom into street view or even experience a virtual tour.

In addition to being able to zoom in, users can also rotate the screen and view many of the surroundings in the area. In addition, this application makes it possible to draw on the map and collect valuable information. It's a huge help for those that work with nature because the application allows them to see information like the location or creation of things.

Google Earth has been around since 2001 and has become quite popular. It's not only for professionals and many people find that they get lost exploring for hours. You never know what you might see and the pictures are updated on a specific schedule. Keep in mind, some areas that aren't as popular or visited might get updated a lot less than places that are hotspots or tourist favorites.

Key Features

Take a look below at a few of the key features of Google Earth.

3D Views

The first valuable feature that comes with Google Earth is the ability to see things in 3D. This includes things like buildings and natural occurrences around the world. Not only can this give you a good idea of things like size and style, but you'll be able to see things the same way you would if you were actually visiting.

Street View

Another great feature is called street view. This gives you the ability to put a location in and view the surroundings as if you were standing on the sidewalk in front of it. These are updated on a specific schedule and you might even find a picture of yourself on the application.

Multiple Versions

There are multiple different versions of Google Earth that you can use. In addition to the street view and 3D views we mentioned above, you can also check out things like space. You'll want to choose the best version for your specific needs or wants.

Virtual Visiting

Finally, Google Earth makes it possible to virtually visit or tour various places. Some will only show you the outside, while others will take you inside and make you feel like you're actually there. Keep in mind, some places you search will only zoom in so much and show you a limited amount of information.

Conclusion

Not only is Google Earth a great way to see certain areas, but it's also a great way to explore the world. You never know what you might find and you could gain a lot of awesome information by using this application. Check out familiar places or take a tour of a place you've never been. The possibilities are endless with Google Earth.

How to install and how to de-install/delete apps with iOS (similar for iPhone and other iOS devices):

Install Apps:

Apps on iOS are mostly downloaded through Apple's built-in App Store, but a few websites on Safari have mobile optimizations when added to the Home Screen from a web browser.

To install an app from the App Store:

2. The App Store is organized by featured stories, games, non-game apps, Apple Arcade, and search.

6. A cloud icon will appear in place of the price if the app was previously purchased. Tap this once to begin the installation.

To install a web app:
1. Locate the website which supports Apple's web app framework. The website should prompt users to add the site to the Home Screen if it does.
2. In Safari web browser, tap the square icon with an arrow (share button). This should open an action sheet.
3. Locate the option "Add to Home Screen." Tap on it.
4. Enter a name for the icon that will be added. Keep it short, otherwise it will be cut off.
5. The web app should now appear on the Home Screen. Tapping it will give a different interface than the website.
