This can be used instead of plastic topographical map models • Using Google Earth one can also collect quantitative data by measuring elevations, distance and areas. For example one can measure and compare relative size of any mountains. • One can preview trip locations, overlaying other data on top scenery and can share field trip sites with others. • Visualizing abstract phenomenon: Google Earth’s overlays and sketch up models allows you to make thematic maps in 3D of hard to grasp features as gravity, magnetic anomalies.
Google Earth along with Google Maps is the ideal software for learning and sharing geographical features. With help of this software one can view Submarine cables, Aerial photos, Costal orthophoto, Marine raster chart, Bathymetry, World tide predictions, Magnetic declination.
