Google Earth streams the world over wired and wireless networks enabling users to virtually go anywhere on the planet and see places in photographic detail. This is not like any map you have ever seen. This is a 3D model of the real world, based on real satellite images combined with maps, guides to historic and interesting sites all over the world. You can zoom from space to street level instantly and then pan or jump from place to place, city to city, even country to country.
