Google Earth for Mac

Google Earth for Mac

Google Earth has literally changed the way we look at our own planet. Fly pretty much anywhere you can think of to view satellite imagery, maps, terrain, 3D buildings, the list goes on. Recent additions include galaxies in outer space, canyons of the ocean, art galleries and ski runs. You can explore rich geographical content, save your toured places, drop pins to mark locations and share with others. Some older Mac users may find Google Earth for Mac slow to load, as will those with lower bandwidth connections. People trying to stream music or movies on the same connection as you will probably pull their hair out as Google Earth dominates the available bandwidth.

Google Earth's features include:
