subject: Google Earth: The Perfect Business Tool [print this page] Isn't it amazing how you can see and travel the world even at the comforts of your home? This previously deemed impossible adventure is now a reality thanks to another thumbs up application courtesy of Google. This user friendly program, Google Earth aims to provide information about the earth and the universe. It is also considered an important business tool - the eye of business from the sky.
Google Earth is the program which shows satellite images of the earth and parts of the universe. You can easily navigate this application using your very own computer mouse. There are search boxes which you can also use to enter your desired location and Google Earth finds that place for you. If you click a certain point (but depending on the availability) a bubble shows other important information like contact numbers. There are layers that you can activate to see other imagery options.
Google Earth is also useful in terms of saving the environment. It does not only focus on the earth's crust but rather, it focuses on anything on this planet, including the oceans. As you may know, it is one of the applications used to gauge the extent of damage that the recent BP oil spill caused. In terms of predicting weather, Google earth is the perfect tool to literally see weather patterns worldwide.
