Get a new view of your neighborhood…

by

Try Google Earth! Go to:

I am continuing our series on Google’s rich features.

This one in particular is a free feature from Google that allows you to explore your neighborhood, lakes and land from outer space. I have had many older clients do this to check out topography for fishing, hunting and camping, or just to see what their house looks like on satellite.

This will let you know precisely what your corner of the world looks like through the eyes of a satellite. It is easy to use, even seniors can work through the process. Most find this enjoyable and fascinating.

There are other paid packages that you can subscribe to if you would like richer features with specific information for your business or organization.

If you have questions or comments on this or any other computer topic, please comment or email me ASAP! Love to hear from you!

As Always,
Your Computer Tutor
