Hurricane Ida is on a path for the central Gulf Coast, expected to make landfall tonight somewhere between New Orleans and Pensacola. While the storm is expected to weaken before it hits land, it will still arrive as a strong tropical storm and could cause quite a lot of damage. As you know, Google Earth has some excellent tools for tracking storms like this. You can overlay weather satellite photos,...
If you are running the later versions of Google Earth (5+) you can celebrate today's 20th anniversary of the fall of the wall with historic imagery of Berlin dating back to 1945 .
[Cross-posted from the Google Mobile Blog ] Since the launch of Google Latitude earlier this year, we've been getting a lot of feature requests. One of the most popular ideas was for Latitude to keep track of location history, allowing you (but not your friends) to see where you've been at any point in time. Another popular idea was to notify you when you're near your Latitude friends so you can easily...
It's been a very busy week for the Street View team! Not only have we made Hawaii the 50th state to get Street View imagery but we've also been hard at work mapping other stunning locations around the world. Now you can explore around huge swathes of Spain, an extra 30 towns in Netherlands and 5 cities in Mexico. In my home country of Spain, I think we may have created what could be the the first ever...

The largest cruise ship in the world, the MS Oasis of the Seas , is on a journey from Finland to Fort Lauderdale, FL. She's expected to arrive in Florida this week, with her maiden voyage from Miami scheduled for December 1. A user named ' sladys ' over at Google Earth Hacks has posted a KML file to see the journey of the ship. In addition, ' Naruto_fan ' has modeled the Oasis of the Seas , along...
Yesterday I talked about using Google Earth to get a sense for the grandeur of the huge, landscape-sized machines of experimental particle-physics. But Google Earth is also perfect for touring the holy sites of the other big science, astronomy, whether you want to check out the world's biggest telescopes or explore the stars. First stop: in the "Fly To" bar, type in "Very Large Array."...
My wife and I moved out to New York last week, and we sure put Google Maps to use in our housing hunt. With Real Estate listings to help find a place, Street View to scope out the neighborhood, directions to help us find our broker, and local search to find nearby amenities, just about the only thing that we needed another source for was to see where the extensive subway lines ran. Until now! We're...
New 3D Buildings in Milwaukee and Indianapolis: Google continues to add more 3D buildings to Google, having just released Milwaukee, WI and Indianapolis, IN, along with thousands of user-generated buildings. As with past releases, I would expect that most of the user-generated buildings were from people using the Building Maker tool . (via @3DWH ) Fraps Version 3.0 Released: Fraps is a Windows-only...
One of the really neat features introduced in Google Earth 5 is the historical imagery slider. Using this tool, you can view old imagery and compare it to more recent imagery for a particular location. Over the past year, we've seen some neat examples of that. Below is a video that Frank made back in February that shows how the feature works and gives a quick tour of the "Bird's Nest" stadium...
With Historical Imagery in Google Earth, we've made it possible to use Google Earth imagery to see how the world has changed over time. We've been adding imagery since the feature launched in February, and today we announced on our Google Germany Blog that we've added historical images of Berlin from 1945 and 1953. To view these new images, you'll need Google Earth 5.0 . Historical imagery can be accessed...
I remember how excited I was when Google Maps first came into existence. I would seize anyone who seemed to show a particle of interest, sit them down in front of my computer, and click madly on the little square until I could discern my own house. Well, Google Maps has grown up quite a bit since then. Now I can satisfy my need to stalk my own house by flying straight home on the wings of Google Earth....

Their goal is to have a place for people to share tips, tricks and other support for these tools. If you have questions about Building Maker, or...
