Book Search layer – Google Earth’s wonderful layer
Google recently launch Google Book Search, which is a new feature content. This Google Earth layer shows users little book icon placemarks when they zoom into dissimilar places across the globe. The best thing is that you do not require typing the name of the place. Rather than that, you just need to browse and the placemarks will appear. These placemarks are results from search of places found mentioned in books indexed by Google's search engine. For esteemed spots like "Paris", one can view a wide array of icons in a sequence of concentric circles. Almost each icon has the capability to show the result of that city mentioned in a specific book. There can be dozens of references that can be confusing enough at times. Furthermore, if the users click on the summary link, it will direct users straight to the book search. This sure is an exciting way to get to know the world via literal means.
