How do you find a picture of your house?
I would suggest a realtor, city or county building permits, beaurau of land management. Depends on how old the house is and at what period you are looking for a photo of the house. Is the house relatively new and you want a photo from say 20 years ago or is the house really old and you want a picture from the late 1890's. You might start by calling those areas Iisted and try a good library. Hope this gets you on your way. You may wish to research the chain of ownership of your house at the county courthouse, and try contacting previous owners. Most people seem helpful and co-operative.
Shows elevations and locations?
topographic map
Answer #2
Google Earth doesn't offer topographic maps as an option, however, there are a few unofficial Google Earth overlays. Related link below provides a good topographic terrain map overlay.

Can you see global positioning system tagged whales on Google Earth?
If the researchers have created a "mashup" and broadcast the positions then: yes.
See the link below for an example.
How do you get Jupiter for Google Earth?
NASA released some new photos of Jupiter showing the entire atmosphere of Jupiter, which can be seen as an image overlay in Google Earth. See related links below.
You can also see Jupiter, the other planets, and other galaxies in the Sky mode view. For example in Sky mode you can enter "Jupiter" in the search box to jump there.
Google Earth adds the ability to view high-resolution imagery and layers for Mars and the Moon. Both include the various NASA missions including placemarks for rovers and landers, historical maps, and lots of other info.
How do you set Google Earth to show altitude?
If you want to see altitude in Google Earth (along with latitude/longitude under the mouse cursor) then you can enable the Status bar in the View menu by checking the 'Status Bar' option.
This will show the "eye-level" altitude of the current view. Also shown in the lower-left of the map is the imagery date if it's available.
Why is Street View blurred in Google Earth when you go to a place 500 miles away?
The Street View "pegman" icon disappears from the Google Earth navigation controls when your zoomed out at an eye altitude of about 350-500 miles or more above ground level. The Street View mode only makes sense when you're "close" to the city or street-level. At the state or country zoom-level the Street View mode would have to show too many areas that are street-view capable so Google requires the user to be closer to the ground before Street View is allowed.
What are privacy concerns with Google Earth?
The privacy concerns of Google Earth revolve around the ability of anyone around the whole having instant access to high-resolution imagery including personal property, houses, cars, etc. Having such imagery and photographs in clear detail showing cars (color, make and models) and people opens up a hornet's nest of privacy issues.
If a person is photographed then they can opt-out, assuming they can find themselves in a given photo often months after it was taken. There is no good way to know if you've been photographed. Most common route is for people to check out their own homes in Street View and ask to further blur/remove these images if there is any objection.
People caught in comprising acts ranging from two lovers kissing in the park to others committing crimes have been captured for all to see in Google's Street View imagery.
Fortunately, Google has taken on itself the task of blurring faces and licenses plates from all photographs to protect personal privacy. In other words, Google does its due diligence to prevent the individual or the vehicle from being identified, but it's not foolproof and if the filtering and blurring techniques missed something then it's up to the individual to report back to Google.

How do you see 3D buildings on Google Earth?
You select the 3D Buildings layer in the Layers panel on the left. If Layers panel is not shown then check the Sidebar option in the View menu.
How do you put Google Earth in latitude and longitude?
You can "hyperlink" or bookmark locations or views from which you can return to with that exact view by creating a placemark and snapshot the current view onto that placemark.
When you're ready to capture the current view:
1. Create a new placemark in Google Earth
2. When "New Placemark" dialog comes up click "View" tab
then click "Snapshot current view"
Now you can save that place to your saved places or Email it to others.
Right-mouse click on the Placemark and select "Email".
Alternatively you can select "View in Google Maps" in the File menu.
From the web browser you can select the link button to copy the URL of that view and cut-paste that in an e-mail or whatever.
Answer #2
For a more advanced use of KML you can hyperlink and click from one placemark to another with hyperlinks in the descriptions of the placemarks that link to one another. This uses "feature-anchors" which can link to a placemark by it's id (not name).
See related link below for examples.
Where is the maximum altitude on the earth?
You don't have to be standing on the ground to reach the
maximum altitude of Earth so the answer is "everywhere". The Earth's atmosphere is about 300 miles (480 km) thick, but most of the atmosphere (about 80%) is within 10 miles (16 km) of the surface of the Earth.

Have Google tried to make street maps safe?
If by that, you mean filter the offensive images in street view, then no, they haven't. They want us to see the world just as it is.
Are there any fake places in Google Earth?
No, all the pictures are taken by satellite.
^^^WRONG
There are MANY stitched and edited segments of the Google Earth database...most notably, in photographs featuring military bases, military operations, and other things the government feels they need to keep from the general public. Also, Google themselves heavily photoshopped pictures of the Google Campus in California...adding things that are not there in "real life", including a massive swimming pool with the Google logo.
How do you view the ocean floor in Google Earth?
To clearly see the ocean floor in Google Earth first turn off the Water Surface layer from the View menu, which shows animating wave for effect.
Next expand the Ocean layer in the Layer panel in the Sidebar, which includes ocean and maritime related content (e.g. Explore the Ocean, National Geographic, Shipwrecks, etc.).
You also want to check '3D Buildings' layer since there are some 3D models at the bottom of the ocean like the HMS Titanic.
Navigating the ocean floors with mouse controls sometimes gets tricky. The keyboard short-cuts work well for "walking" the ocean floor (see links to key stroke controls in related links below).
firstly, you have to fold over the first tongue and then you have to tie your shoe.After that if your lace is too long then tuck it into the actual shoe but make it comfy enough for you!! I hope you make everyone jealous :)
How do you use a time line on google earth?
The time line or time slider in Google Earth allows you to select different times or animate a time ordered sequence. If placemarks contain time information then the time slider is displayed. Such time information can be used for GPS tracks or a visualization of a flu epidemic showing the spread from region to region.
See related links for tutorial using the time slider controls.
Where is the German Battleship Bismarck on Google Earth 6?
If you are sure about the coordinates, this is it right here:
48°10'02.43" N , 16°12'03.41" W German Battleship "Bismarck"
Google Places is the web portal to register and manage your local business entry (aka "yellow pages") for Google's search services.
Listings will be available through Google Web Search, Google Maps, Mobile search, voice directory search, and Google Earth. On any of these services, if someone searches directly for your business name and city, your listing will most likely show up.
How do you go underwater in Google Earth?
Yes, there is an "ocean" option at the bottom right corner of the screen. Enable this option, then you can go underwater. You have to use the navigation button to make the angle such that you are seeing straight as in from the ground point of view. You can then see 3-D waves and also go underwater. This only works on Google Earth 5.0 or higher, so any other version won't work with this option!
You must have Google 5.0 or above.
How do you email a view in Google Earth?
Open File menu in Google Earth and select "Email" with two options: 1) Email view and 2) Email image.
Select Email view to e-mail a KMZ file of the view which will lauch in Google Earth at the destination or select Email image to e-mail an screenshot image of the current view.
Why are there walking signs on Mars on Google Earth?
If there are walking signs enabled then you probably have a NetworkLink in your saved places enabled. The NetworkLinks doesn't know the difference between Earth mode or Mars mode so best to turn off your saved places.
Placemarks are "bookmarks" for a selected map view in Google Earth that retains the location, zoom-level, and orientation allowing you to return to that view at a later time.
How do you make Google Maps 3d?
In the new Google Maps there is an "earth" mode which shows satellite imagery and terrain which gives a 3-D like view of the earth. The Earth icon can be seen in the lower-left of the map if available.
To see 3D photos in "classic" Google Maps, you will need a pair of old-fashioned red/cyan glasses, bring up Street View in Google Maps by dragging the orange Pegman onto the map. Right-mouse click on the map then select ''3D mode on" option (or press '3' key) to turn on/off 3D mode.
This feature seems to be available anywhere in the world where Google currently offers Street View, but this is not currently available in the "new" Google Maps.
