Google Earth

Posted by Morten in Gadgets, General

google earth

With the great Google Earth program you can explore, search and discover the world from your computer screen. Zoom in on whatever part of the world you would like to take a closer look at, and watch nature, buildings and all other kinds of stuff on a close range. It can be a lot of fun on a boring day to “travel” around the world with Google Earth:) You can download the program from here.

I’ve found a lot of coordinates to different places that you can visit in Google Earth. Simply copy the coordinates and paste them into the “Fly To” box:
The Great Pyramids, Egypt: 29.9761194, 31.1307166
