Talk about being able to search for anything. Google Earth lets you see your house from above, fly thru the Grand Canyon, check out Maui, The Mall in Washington or Manhattan.
You download their application, and type in an address; Google Earth takes you from hundreds of miles above the Earth (you can see the whole planet) right down to a street address! Talk about seeing "the big picture".
Land elevations can be viewed - right from ground level - so you can see the height of surrounding geography as if you were right there. Roadways are labelled, as are hotels, parks, restaurants. Even get driving directions. It's a lot of fun just to play with. Manhattan Island even has the buildings in 3D!
The coolness - and usefulness - factor of Google Earth is very high; try it out here.
