Google Earth Intro

The Google Earth lab was surprisingly very interesting. I have used in before, but never really used many of the features the lab called for. My favorite features were:

  1. Pseudo 3D imagery
    1. When I was looking at Mt. Rushmore, I thought it was really cool that I could turn the 3D image on and see all of the President's faces. I could then turn it back off and you wouldn't even know that there was a monument there.
  2. Route Tour
    1. I also really enjoyed the route feature. Next time I plan a trip I think I will use the route option because it really gives you a good idea of the type of terrain you are about to encounter.
