If you want to plan out a driving route of an area, Google Maps is the way to go. In areas visited by Google frequently, you can zoom down to the ground and take a 3D “walking tour” of the area, such as this example in Paris, France.Įach tool has its place. This satellite view example above goes back as far as 1998. Not only does Google Earth provide higher resolution satellite imagery at a much higher zoom rate, but it also lets you swivel the camera perspective, view how the location has changed over a timeline, and “land” down to ground level to view the landscape topography of an area.
Google Earth, on the other hand, lets you continue zooming almost to ground level. The view above is as close as Google Maps lets you zoom into the action.
For example, look at the satellite view in Google Maps of a rural house in Maine. Google Maps satellite view is pretty impressive, but it doesn’t provide the detail or the features that Google Earth offers. View how locations have changed throughout history.Measure distances of any location on Earth.
