Layer with basic stations for Google Earth. Google Planet Earth - Tips and recommendations to the traveler. Layers: Global Problems and Studying Environment

May show us in all details almost any point of the Earth. We can visit any continent, wander through the urban streets. Using, we can look at the world not only on top, but also at an angle, and approach the surface so that there will be even visible figures of people.

But downloading the Google Earth program, you will get even more features. You can plunge into the bottom of the oceans, visit the moon and on Mars, go back to the past, and see how our cities looked before. You can move into space, and even create your universe.

About these new features and will be discussed.

First you need to download the Google Earth program.

Come on this link, click on the button Download Google Planet Earth , download, and install the program. A program label appears on the desktop. You can also find it through the button. Start - All Programs - Google Earth , and run from there, or, if necessary, delete.

When you run this program, you will see the globe in the workspace, which can be twisted, capturing its left mouse button. Scrolling the mouse wheel, you can increase or decrease the scale.

By pressing the key Ctrl , It is possible to turn the left mouse button to turn on the earth itself, so that there will be no earth, and space: stars and nebula. And with the key Shift. You first lock the point on the surface of the Earth, and then rotate the Earth around this point.

Rotate the planet, as well as change the scale, you can also use the runner to the right, and the buttons above the slider.

Below are pictures: they are constantly changing, depending on what part of the land you look, and how close to the surface you are to the surface.

Using the mouse wheel, you can get closer to objects as closely as possible, and then, when the key is pressed Ctrl , turn around themselves in any direction, and continue to move on in the selected direction. Turning wheel, or capturing the left mouse screen, you move forward and backward. Using Ctrl , You deploy, and using Shift. You can move around the selected point. It turns out a complete illusion of movement in three-dimensional space. When you make such manipulations, the button sometimes appears at the top: Exit from viewing at ground level , that is, you are on the surface of the earth, and not above it. That is, figuratively speaking, you stick to her surface, and you can't climb it. To go back to viewing from a height, you will have to click on this button above.

So you are interested to visit the mountains, over the cities, and even under water, at the bottom of the sea or the ocean. At the same time, the coordinates of the map where the cursor is located in the lower part of the map, where the cursor is located: latitude and longitude, as well as height above sea level. It will also be written, from what height you are overlooking the surroundings.

After that you will go to the level view at the ground level. You can exit this mode by clicking on the button above. Sometimes, when moving a little man, you do not get on the surface of the earth, but on the street view where you can move through the streets, and look at any side where you like. To go to another location, click on it to turn, capture the screen left mouse button, and with the help of the wheel you can move forward and backward.

Perhaps the very
Famous layersGoogle Earth. - These are photos and three-dimensional models of buildings. First of
They are familiar to all users of ordinary Google cards: these are photographs having

In complete, I will note
whatGoogle Earth. - this is a living project that is constantly updated with new
data. So new discoveries are possible literally for the next after
The last visit is the day. It is no coincidence that there are several projects and blogs,
tracking all kinds of curiosity associated withGoogle Earth.

In June 2005, a few months after the appearance of Google Maps, Google introduced the Google Earth program

Google Earth - Virtual Globe Program google companiesWith which you can view the three-dimensional model of the Earth, the aero and space of high-resolution and various data layers.

Russian version of Google Earth has the name of Google Planet Earth.

The program was initially issued by Keyhole Inc. and was called Earth Viewer, and in 2004 the company was sold.

To visualize the image, a three-dimensional model of the entire globe is used (taking into account height above sea level), which is displayed on the screen using DirectX or OpenGL interfaces. The user can easily move to any point of the planet, controlling the position of the "virtual chamber".

Official site of the program http://earth.google.com

There are various versions of the program:

Google Planet Earth - Free Version

Google Planet Earth Pro (price \u003d $ 400 per year) - the ability to save pictures to a higher resolution graphic file.

License for commercial use.

Google Planet Earth - Enterprise Solutions

Free and advanced versions use one geodatabase (snapshots and additional layers).

The main features are free google versions Earth.

- Distance Distance Measurement

- Print and save pictures

- Opening in Google Maps browser

- Search features of places and routes, quick crossing by coordinates

- Overview of places (tags) - Automatic flight

- There is a large number of additional data that can be connected at the request of the user. For example, names settlements, water bodies, airports, roads, railway, etc. Information. In addition, for large cities there is more detailed information - Names of streets, shops, refueling, hotels, etc.

- Users can create their labels, draw paths and polygons, impose their images over satellite (it can be cards, or more detailed pictures obtained from other sources, as well as 3D models!). These labels can be saved to KML files and share with other users of the program.

- Photo transition - some high-resolution photos support the possibility of moving on them

- Adding photos

- 3D configurations settings

- Using hot keys

- The program is built into the airlimulator (for starting it, press Ctrl + Alt + A).

- In version 4.2, Google Sky mode appeared, allowing to consider the starry sky.

- When you hover the mouse on the Google of the planet Earth shows the approximate date of the image shooting at the bottom of the three-dimensional viewing windows

- The display of the sun and sun rays

- Installation of the initial location - you can set the starting point (default), which will appear each time the Google Earth is started.

- Use of viewing Google Street View streets - View 360VR Panoramic Snapshots

In February 2009, Google released the 5th version of the Google Earth program, in which the following features appeared:

- Mode "Historical pictures" - the ability to switch the versions of the pictures, i.e. Move in time.

- Added 3d model of the planet Mars. Satellite images of individual areas of Mars are made in high resolution.

- There was an opportunity to move under water. The surface of the world's ocean is a 3D textured model.

- Tools tool tours. With the help of this tool, you can record your movements in Google Earth, to accompany them with voice comments and save them in KML format.

Google Earth has the ability to include a "relief" layer, turn on the display of the 3D model of the earth's surface.

There is also a layer that includes loading 3D buildings models (gray primitives and photorealistic).

Buildings models create company specialists and users using a special 3D Google Sketchup editor.

In May 2008 The friends of Google was represented by the API for viewing Google Earth in the browser window.

Google Earth API does not work in all browsers. For example, in the opera he refuses to work. The browser must support ActiveX.

To work B. google Mode Earth need to install a special plugin.

From the beginning, you need to download the GoogleEarthPluginsetUp_en.exe installer (299kb), when you start the GoogleEarth-plugin-win.exe plugin itself (its size\u003e 6.5MB).

Then it is proposed to restart the browser. After rebooting, you need to allow the browser to install ActiveX. We see a message:

With the Module of the Google Planet Earth, the problem arose. Try Reload this Page.

Reboot. After rebooting Google Earth in the browser earned!

The speed of work and the management of the Web application are the same as the full-fledged Google Earth program.

If you already have a key for the Google Maps API, then you need to add one line to your code for viewing the Google Earth

map.addmapType (g_satellite_3d_map);

Then when opening a page with a map in the browser, you will see the following

• Three-dimensional landscape and construction in some cities. This feature Allows in 3D mode to get acquainted with various places and attractions with the ability to consider them from all sides and see the terrain landscape;
• Resolution of earth pictures. This is one of the main differences from Google Maps, snapshots of some capitals, cities and attractions are made with a very large resolution, which will allow in the smallest detail to consider all the details;
• The ability to connect additional data. For example, the names of settlements, water bodies, airports, roads, railway, etc. Information. In addition, for many cities there is more detailed information - street names, shops, refueling, hotels, etc. There is a data layer (synchronized via the Internet with an appropriate database), which refers to links to articles from Wikipedia;
• Measurement function distances;
• The function "I am lucky" (description above);
• The "Researcher" function (describing above);
• Google Sky Technology, allowing to consider the starry sky;
