The uber-popular virtual globe application from Google, a.k.a. Google Earth, now comes with even more interesting features. The software allows you to “fly” any where on Earth, and visit any place just like our good old Superman would. 3D buildings, advanced imagery & terrains, oceans, sky, historic locations….heck…you can even take a tour of the moon. Now Google Earth 5 has it all! If you want to carry the app around, then you can do that too with Google Earth for Mobile.

Here’s an overview of some of the important features:

• Explore rich geographical content
• Zoom from outer space to street level
• Search for business locations
• Visualize your GPS tracks and share with others
• See 3D buildings and add your own models
• Go back in time with historical imagery
• Dive beneath the surface of the ocean
