538 Questions
Can people see your house in real time using Google Earth?
Absolutely not. Can you comprehend the phenomenal amount of money it would cost to have a satellite pointed at every sector of the globe, streaming data in real-time?
What benefits are provided by information technology?
Information technology (IT) turns arduous chores into efficient tasks and corporate activities into achievable accomplishments.
Google Maps like Google Earth may appear to be real-time (or live) in that the Street View and satellite imagery may appear very recent but it's often many months old and sometimes years old.
However, Google Maps does provide a near real-time traffic layer. Check 'Traffic' layer in Google Maps.
How do you drop a pin on Google Earth?
You can add a placemark in Google Earth by clicking Placemark option under the Add menu or the "Add Placemark" button on the toolbar. This will create a new Placemark with the default yellow push-pin icon on the map, which you can move to a new location.
For a detailed tutorial and video showing how to do this check out Google Earth User Guide in related links below.
Where can you find crop circles on Google Earth?
try looking on youtube i always look there it helps a lot go to youtube.com
Where is the location of fly to on Google Earth 6.2?
The explicit fly-to tab that existed in Google Earth 6.1 (and earlier versions) has been removed in Google Earth 6.2 and replaced with a simpler/more powerful interface.
Typing in an address or coordinates then clicking search or pressing enter will automatically fly to that location.
How do you get rid of something you placed on Google Earth?
As you open KML feeds new placemarks are often added to your saved places panel. Over time you may end up with 100's or 1000's of places and overlays often crowding the map. These can be deleted (right-mouse click and select Delete) or unchecked to hide.
Note in many cases the saved places is the full KML content for the resource and not simply a "bookmark" or network link to the file on the network so the saved places file can get rather large. This slows down starting and closing Google Earth.
What is anisotropic filtering Google Earth?
In short, anisotropic filteringhelps keep things sharp when you're viewing imagery from a low angle.
See article in GE Blog that describes that is does and gives some image examples.
Where can you find a map of earthquakes?
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) maintains lists and maps of earthquakes around the world. You can see earthquake density and seismicity maps for regions and the world.
USGS has also created a real-time feed for Google Earth showing earthquakes from the last 7 days at its location with magnitude and a link to more extensive info. This KML will give you a better geographical understanding of the daily changes occurring on our planet.

Where is the drunk guy on Google Earth?
See link to article below showing a drunk man sleeping on the roadside pictured by Google Street View.
Many things like this are being caught by Street View and more so by photos/videos taken by cellphones of passersby.
Can you view real time satellite imagery on your PC?
Have you seen Google Earth? Its fairly "fresh". I'm told that if you want it better than that you can contact them at the recommended links and ask for a quote on the "real" commercial satellite imagery (the other one is free). You could also talk to our own ISRO & its other sister organisations who work similarly. You'll have to trawl the web by yourself though.
What is the address for the dead body found on Google earth?
It wasn't found at a particular address - it was found on a dock extending onto the water. It was in The Netherlands. Here are the coordinates...
52°22'35.5872" N, 5°11'53.890" E
zoom in a lot on the exact location and you will see. there is what appears to be a bloody trail.
this is actually believed to be false. It wasn't noticed until some time after the satellite image was taken. The Dutch police say that even if it was real, there wouldn't be enough evidence left to investigate.
Wiki Answers does not have "articles." Did you intend this message to be directed to Wikipedia?
Is is possible to add a tachometer to a 94 Peugeot 106 1.1 in place of the big clock?
No, it is not compatible.
What kind of projection does Google earth use?
Google Earth uses a Simple Cylindrical projection with a WGS84 datum for its imagery base.
Was there Google earth in 1999?
No. Google Earth is a virtual globe, map and geographical information program that was originally called EarthViewer 3D, and was created by Keyhole, Inc, a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) funded company acquired by Google in 2004.
Keyhole, Inc., founded in 2001, was a pioneering software development company specializing in geospatial data visualization applications.
How can you update photos at Street View?
When Google updates it street view photos in its image database then these updates are made available to Google Maps and Google Earth.
Who had the idea of google earth?
Google Earth originated from a project called "Keyhole," developed by a company named Keyhole, Inc., founded by John Hanke in 2001. The software was designed for visualizing geographic data and was later acquired by Google in 2004. After the acquisition, Google rebranded it as Google Earth, launching it to the public in 2005. The platform combined satellite imagery and mapping technology, revolutionizing how users interact with geographic information.
How many people work with Google Earth?
The exact number of employees working specifically on Google Earth is not publicly disclosed. However, Google Earth is part of Google, which employs tens of thousands of people globally across various teams, including engineering, design, and product management. The Google Earth team is likely a smaller subset of this larger workforce, focusing on the development and maintenance of the platform.
