Google Earth is a popular tool that many use for directions and to explore the globe. There are a number of Google Earth tips that you should learn to help make using the program easier and more efficiently.
Many people notice that the speed of the program tends to be slow. Download the application to your computer instead of using the browser version and make sure it's up to date for the fastest speeds. This is especially useful when using older computers.
Learn all the keyboard and mouse commands. These will allow you to zoom, scroll, and tilt the images. Don't press these too much else you won't get what you want. Sometimes hitting the key command once and waiting is best so Google Earth will catch up with you.
Another of the Google Earth tips to consider is that you can explore more places than the cities on earth. Recently, there is also images of the Earth's oceans, the Moon, as well as parts of Mars.
Use Google Earth as location tool. This will allow you to get directions from one place to another or to find nearby shops that you might want to visit. This is very practical when using the iPhone or Android versions of the program to find locations when going out.
If you can't get a clear image while zooming, it might not be a computer problem. Google Earth does have images of most of the world but doesn't always have high quality images. You might have to wait until exploring that location until the images become more clear.
You can create tours with the program to show friends and family locations that you have visited. These tours can also be made into video clips. You are also able to download other people's tours to see other locations that you may have always wanted to see. This makes the tool more social.
Hopefully these
Google Earth tips will help you use the program much easier and will allow you to understand more functionality that has been built into the program.
