Google Earth till 2012- Technology Times


Google Earth is the mobile maps service over the internet as well as gmaps can be downloaded to locate your current position if you are having GPS system in your mobile gadget.  Google Earth, as a program lends itself to the iPad, as it is after all a luxury app. Let me quantify that. When you want to find a store’s phone number – you simply open Google Maps and do a search. When you need directions, you open a GPS app such as CoPilot. Google Earth, as a mobile app, is purely for finding out more about our wonderful planet, taking tours of its incredible landmarks and flying over countries as if connected to a satellite. The previous iPhone-only version left a lot to be desired. The interface was fairly slow and the screen was just too small to get any real use out of the app. Because of that flaw, it has sat on my iPhone home screen gathering dust for some time. If you’ve used GE on the iPhone you will already know how to get around. There are standard menu buttons that allow you to search for specific countries, towns, landmarks and postcodes.The app allows you to feature multiple layers of information such as businesses, Wikipedia entries, roads and terrain.

Exploring more about Google Earth software, The Google Earth Logo comprises of the main Google logo with the additional word Earth added to the design. The green color used for the fonts is relevant and is an excellent idea of how different products need to be marketed within a same brand. The Google brand offers a range of services; all of which have unique logo designs extended from the original Google brand logo that shows continuity of the brand. The Google Earth Logo is scalable and expressible and with its simple design, it is not forgotten so easily. This mobile version of Google Earth has many of the features that you are used to in the online version. You can search for areas or cities and it will give you a choice of results. After choosing one, the app will display a map. You can zoom in and out of the map and use finger movements to change your view. You can also view images and Wikipedia information of an area if available. This app can also display longitude and latitude information and altitudes. You could just spend all day looking at images of cities and landmarks across the planet. So many a times this software was requested to stopn but it continued to provide its everdynamic services and making our very mother Earth explored right from our desktop/laptop/cellular devices.
