It is so amazing. You can find out all sorts of things about almost anywhere on Earth... You can even get the exact height of a building or a mountain, and it will tell you how tall the building or mountain actually is!

The only downside is that it doesn't work with the Mac OS X, but there is another app called "Earth View" which works exactly the same way...

It's not like this is a new invention or anything... It's been around for awhile. But I didn't know about it until now.

it's really not that great tbh
i've never looked at the app since I got my phone.
It's just like any other mapping software except you can zoom in on a specific building/area or see satellite images of it.

Yeah, I agree. I had a Mac and didn't know how to use it though, so I'm pretty excited about it now.
