I don't say much about Google apps but Google Earth is awesome, free, and really, what more could someone ask for? Would have killed for something like this when I was growing up *cough* no age mentioned, but still, this is just awesome. What a way to travel safely huh? For those like me who don't care to travel, you can explore a virtual world anyway even if not as good as the real one. I did get to view places I lived years ago when I was a kid, it wasn't just cool, it brought back memories by viewing these places. Very cool.

I don't care if it doesn't run on DOS or Win 95, it does more than I ever expected it to do and does it better than worldwind

Was using another software before this came out. it was okay too. downloaded it from NASA. (yup, the one with the rockets). it was earth..(something couldn't remember but it was a 150mb download and quite a nervous feeling of being watched. but hey it's okay. but google's version is a bit lighter.

This program presents a collection of satellite imagery in such a creative way that you feel like the Watcher from the old comic books. I love how you can spin the globe, pick a spot, than dive right into the city or town. I noticed a lot more detail in a city like New York than I was able to find in most other places but I think that comes down to Google having more images of bigger cities to work with. I also found that the location of business map in my town was inaccurate and incomplete. Still though I understand this is a work in progress and I can't wait to see where this technology takes us down the road. My family really enjoyed it and I think you'll have fun with it as well.

As a person who loves maps and going places, Google Maps is wonderful. The installation was faultless, and the interface is practically spiritual. I went to the small town where I was born on the Atlantic Seaboard and zoomed in on the house where we lived. I could see the milk truck behind the high fence. This program has layer upon layer. Go to San Francisco and click on the Churches box. I didnt know there were that many churches in town. Need a pharmacy or gas station? This will not only show you where they are but what they look like. Can you tell I played with this one for a while? Thats why I say, have a lot of spare time before you install this.

Usually when the name Google is attached to something there are folks out there really proud of their work; and I am interested. This program is a blast, fun to use and full of good stuff.

Just downloaded it and it really is a good piece of software, I found my house and I live in Swansea, Wales, UK. The way it scans around to locate the place name input is very clever. As one of the other reviewers commented, just down load it and play with it.

Just download it without asking any questions, whether you're into maps or not. You'll have the whole world in your hands, and implemented very nicely. Great job, Google.
