Google Earth

Google Earth now lets you explore the fourth dimension—time. Peek under the Layers panel, open the Featured Content folder, and select Rumsey Historical Maps. You’ll find a number of historical maps that can be laid over the globe, including World Globe 1890, Middle East 1861, and San Francisco 1853.

MAKE: Blog also has a list of nifty Google Earth projects and hacks, including how to make Google Earth movies without buying the Pro version, how to GPS tag photos with Flickr, and how to virtually recreate trips using Google Earth and a GPS.

      Hi All Experts,
      Does anyone use google earth images as ground image planes for use in aerial scenes. I know how to stitch them together but are there any tools or tricks to make sure that the images are at the same height, angle and such to make sure they stitch well. I know in the pro version you can get bigger images but im not going to pay for the pro version when i could stitch multiple images together…
