Google Earth combines satellite imagery, maps and the power of Google Search
to put the world’s geographic information at your fingertips. Fly from space to
your neighborhood. Type in an address and zoom right in. Search for schools,
parks, restaurants, and hotels. Get driving directions. Tilt and rotate the view
to see 3D terrain and buildings. Save and share your searches and favorites.
Even add your own annotations.

Google Earth lets you do smooth sailing flybyes of the entire Earth. You
can easily fly to any spot on the globe, by entering any associated data, like
street addresses, place names or lat/long coordinates. There are overlays that
put additional information on the map, like roads, international boundaries,
terrain, 3D buildings, crime statistics, schools, stadiums, any number of
interesting stuff. You can do Local searches in the program, with icons on the
map and a display on the side showing your results.

You can leave notes, called "placemarks" all over the map, so you can
remember where all sorts of places are. Searches and placemarks can be saved as
bookmarks in "My Places". Everything can be output in an XML format called KML,
that will allow the vast popularity of Google Maps to continue in Earth. You can
also email a JPEG of the map, or send a KMZ file if you know the recipient has
Earth installed.
