Google Earth Free最新版Google Earth整合Google的本地搜索以及驾车指南两项服务，能够鸟瞰世界，将取代目前的桌面搜索软件。他可以在虚拟世界中如同一只雄鹰在大峡谷中自由飞翔，登陆峡谷顶峰，潜入峡谷深渊。
Google Earth采用的3D地图定位技术能够把Google Map上的最新卫星图片推向一个新水平。用户可以在3D地图上搜索特定区域，放大缩小虚拟图片，然后形成行车指南。此外，Google Earth还精心制作了一个特别选项——鸟瞰旅途，让驾车人士的活力油然而生。Google Earth主要通过访问Keyhole的航天和卫星图片扩展数据库来实现这些上述功能。该数据库在上星期进行了更新，它含有美国宇航局提供的大量地形数据，未来还将覆盖更多的地形，涉及田园，荒地等。
其功能主要有：
1. 结合卫星图片，地图，以及强大的Google搜索技术；全球地理信息就在眼前。
2. 从太空漫游到邻居一瞥；
3. 目的地输入，直接放大；
4. 搜索学校，公园，餐馆，酒店；
5. 获取驾车指南；
6. 提供3D地形和建筑物，其浏览视角支持倾斜或旋转；
7. 保存和共享搜索和收藏夹；
8. 添加自己的注释。
