Hop it's not too cold down there for you<br /><br />As u may have spotted I had trouble with this post. It started out one thing then turned into another. I thought about binning it completely but I like the point in the last paragraph so I still posted it. <br /><br />Your suggestions are welcome, 3d games is definitely a point I'd say I missed.Rich Treveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074610839485450953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47896653854399647.post-27131742384918773892011-05-09T22:07:20.522+01:002011-05-09T22:07:20.522+01:00Hi Richard, a few other things for you to consider...Hi Richard, a few other things for you to consider:<br /><br />* Offline capability: you can use Google Earth on your computer even without an Internet connection. Very valuable when traveling at times.<br /><br />* 3D situational awareness. I often view the terrain before I visit a place - especially when traveling to a new place.<br /><br />* More data: Google Earth can display WAY more information than Google Maps.<br /><br />* 3D simulation: flight sim, ship simulator, and other games.<br /><br />* Built-in measurement tools, and content creation tools.<br /><br />* Alternate data sets: Sky, Mars, Moon<br /><br />* Real-time data: Network links are incredibly valuable for data (not just for real-time).Frank Taylorhttp://gearthblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
