Google Earth

Filed under: Armenia, Travel, Technology — Posted by Katy on June 30th

Have you downloaded Google Earth yet? It is so cool. Mac and PC friendly, but requires a pretty serious amount of computing power. They recommend that your computer is less than 2-4 years old for it to work.

Want to know more about a specific location? Dive right in — Google Earth combines satellite imagery, maps and the power of Google Search to put the world’s geographic information at your fingertips.

You can add all sorts of different variables - dining, shopping, etc. are much more detailed in the US than in other places, but it is still really fun to chart the distance from your home to Yerevan or “fly” from one place to another.

  1. I just read this about Google Earth on Groong.

    GOOGLE NEW SERVICE GENERAL EDUCATION PROBLEMS

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Google company has announced the launching of a new service - the Google Earth. It is based on satellite imagery of the whole of the planet surface. The program allows navigating over the planet surface, where names of countries, towns and geographic localities are mentioned. However, new technological capacities of the Google service have unfortunately left far behind the general educational level. Specifically, the Lake Sevan in Armenia is marked as Gokcha - a Turkic name that Azerbaijanis are trying to attach to the Lake just like they do referring to many other Armenian geographic names.

  2. I saw that too. Google Earth uses sat images — probably the Armenian images came from AZ sources. New York city images are from New Jersey.

    Maybe people could complain, but I bet it is low on the interest level of Google Earth.
