Google Earth a program that creates and renders a 3D representation of the Earth by using satellite imagery. The program works by superimposing satellite images, aerial shots, and GIS data in the form of a 3D globe, which allows users to observe the globe from various points of view. You can explore the world by entering an address or coordinates.
The program is also available on the mobile platforms via apps, but they are merely a simplified version of the original desktop ones. The computer versions offer additional features such as additional globes for the Moon and Mars, and a tool to observe the night sky. A flight simulator game is also included in the app.
The program has been banned by some countries as they consider it to be a threat to national security, while others have requested that sensible locations such as military bases should be obscured.
The program is available for free on the official website and select app stores.
