We enjoy maps and satellite images and use the collections on this website daily as important tools in our work. However, when we need more detail or simply want to explore an area we now use Google Earth. It is a free computer program that allows you to zoom in close or scan broad areas with greater ease and detail than has ever been possible before.

Google Earth is part of the "Google Pack"
The "Google Pack" is a software collection that includes Google Earth. There is no
charge for Google Earth or the Google Pack. The Google Pack contains several other programs that you can
select or deselect while completing your download. I use Google Earth and other programs included in the Google Pack every day.
