Google Earth

Overview

This program shows a 3D image of the Earth based on satellite imagery. A user can enter locations or known landmarks and Google Earth will narrow in on that image from various angles. This program has been banned in several countries due to national security. Some countries have even asked that certain areas be obscured (usually military facilities). Google earth also has other useful tools such as additional globes for the moon and the sun. A flight simulator game is also included.
