New Features in Google Earth
Google has just released a new version of Google Earth with the ability for users to actually learn about the location they are viewing.
Viewers can get environmental information from the United Nations such as crisis zones, areas that are becoming worse environmentally, and a 30 year history. Discovery Networks give a virtual tour of local attractions and natural wonders as well as videos about the significance and history of a place. The National Parks Service provides information on 10000 trails and 58 national parks. A Turn Here provides much of the same information as a tourist guide - information about not very well know but interesting places in a city and video guides of the city.
For more information and some pictures go to Google Earth.
