TerraServer and Google Earth

TerraServer was there long before Google Earth but both places are fascinating, giving you a look at the actual locations you seek. If you know someone's location, you can look them up... quite literally. I've located my own house on TerraServer. It was also fun to visit famous places such as Disney World.

Google Earth combines the power of Google Search with satellite imagery, maps, terrain and 3D buildings to put the world's geographic information at your fingertips.

Fly to your house. Just type in an address, press Search, and you’ll zoom right in.

Search for schools, parks, restaurants, and hotels. Get driving directions.

Tilt and rotate the view to see 3D terrain and buildings, or look up to explore the sky

Save and share your searches and favorites.

Since Google Earth was launched, users have been exploring our world and creating content overlays (KML files) to share their explorations with others. We're now highlighting user-created KML files each week in the new Google Earth Gallery. You can also choose to add the gallery's Google Gadget to your iGoogle page.
