Surprises for Google explorers
Search Engines
28 January 2008
Google's Google Earth software has integrated a flight simulator and guided tours into its programming, the Times has reported.
The application, which is now familiar to many internet users, has several undiscovered functions. Once activated its simulator lets people fly around an area of their choice and Google Sightseeing creates virtual tours.
Users around the world can now upload their own content and photographs and add to the mapping phenomena.
"Google Earth utilises broadband streaming technology and 3D graphics, much like a videogame, enabling users to interactively explore the world- either their own neighborhood or the far corners of the globe," explained John Hanke, general manager.
The application is also available for mobile phones and could be used to help navigate when visiting a new city.
A new generation of mobile advertising will use phone handsets to offer targeted adverts based on how near users are to certain shops.
