Google Earth has unveiled a new feature called Creation Tools. It allows users to turn Google Earth into a personal storytelling canvas. With the creation tools, users can draw their own placemarks, lines, and shapes on Google Earth. Currently, Google Earth's creation tools are only available on the web version. I know this is a little bit of old news actually but I recently re-installed a copy of Google Earth on my desktop PC and went straight ahead to the Flight Simulation mode to test out how accurate the maps and terrains are. If you haven't seen this, go ahead and download Google Earth here. Google Earth lets you fly anywhere on Earth to view satellite imagery, maps, terrain, 3D buildings, the ocean and even galaxies in outer space (just go to Tools -> Flight Simulation). Here's a video capture of the flight simulation via Google Earth I saw the other day: There are also other software that does similar things (in fact, a whole lot better in terms of detail).
