Did you know that you can now create tours? That includes vacations, open houses, caravans, and they are available in virtual mode, can be emailed, and even added to your GPS? Google Earth is so much more than just a mapping program. You've got the whole world in your hands. Go in and look at all the layers and overlays you can add to your maps and screen shots. Find schools, parks, shopping, transportation, dining, lodging etc., and then email to your clients who may be moving into that area. It just keeps getting better...

The Navigational tool on Google Earth is Fantastic. You can zoom, turn, pitch, roll, angle, go vertical and horizontal, and even cruise across America's plains in slow, medium, or fast speed!

Using the Search tools, you can get directions, do Fly-overs, Find businesses and more. You can create custom views, add place-marks, create text and personalize your searches. You can even show time zones, navigation, and save your searches for future use.
