The way things are heading, it’s only going to get better. While some areas of the globe still cause problems and there remain some stability issues, the overall experience has come a long way. Thankfully, comprehensive bug fixes have improved all versions. Google Earth has been around for a few years and now boasts mobile, desktop and browser-based apps. Google Earth takes the search giant’s information ubiquity into the real world, mapping the globe with satellite imagery and Street View cameras, enabling you to search anywhere in the world and giving a great sense of scale from orbit down to neighbourhood level. In a world where people want instant answers, Google is number one, thanks to its suite of complementary products. Microsoft once asked ‘Where do you want to go today?’ Now, Google virtually takes you there. The whole world is now in your hands and on your desktop, with Google’s globetrotting app.
