Google GPS and Google Earth

Filed under: New Technology, Google, GPS — timwang @ 07:28:30 pm

Google recently launched a stand alone software - Google Earth. The software is free, it allows one to easily pin point a location or find out the flight paths and driving directions between two destinations. The data is based on the google map search engine. It also has a 3D building feature that allows one to tilt the map and if there are any 3D images for the particular section you are viewing, they will show as real 3D figures on the flat panel. When you look for the driving destinations between two locations, you will be given an amazing 3D animation illustrate the entire driving direction. Simply put, this is an amazing application. Why Google doing it? I guess soon or later, Google wants a piece of the GPS pie and plus advertise for travelling related services like Hotels, Resturants, Entertaiment Zones etc... Smart Move!!!
