Google Earth Functions


1. Search Pane – is used to search for places, get directions and show a list of recent
searches.

2. Placemark – to identify particular points on the map, and possibly include descriptive
information, images, and hyperlinks that appear in an information balloon when the
placemark is clicked. 

3. Coordinates and Elevation Indicator – Shows the coordinates and elevation of places the
curser moves over
4. Distance Measurements – A helpful tool to measure distances between locations

5. Elevation Profile – A tool under the distance measurements, it shows the elevation
between two locations

6. 3D viewer – shows you aerial and satellite imagery and information about places
represented on the map as points, segmented lines, polygons, image overlays,
photographs, and 3D models. When the terrain layer is activated, the landscape appears in
three-dimensional relief.
7. Layers Pane – The layers are arranged hierarchically, with some of the layers containing
several levels of sub-layers. To expand a layer listed in Layers Pane, so that you can see a
listing of its contents, click the + sign to its left. You can collapse it later by clicking the -
that appears. As with items in the Search and Places panes, you can control visibility of
the layers with their checkboxes.

8. Places Pane – is where third-party data and your own data are listed and organized. Data
that has been loaded or created during the current session generally resides in the
Temporary Places folder. Documents, folders, and placemarkers can be dragged to
reorganize them in the Places pane.

9. Additional Toolbars – contains tools that perform tasks related to the configuration of the
user interface, the creation of objects to place on the map in the 3D Viewer, recording a
tour, showing historical imagery, showing sunlight in the 3D Viewer, a ruler for
measuring lengths of lines and paths, emailing a representation of the 3D Viewer, saving
or printing an image of the contents of the 3D Viewer, and viewing the data in Google
Maps.
10. Navigation Controls – Navigation is the process of changing the position of your view of
the Earth. The position of the view can be changed through the navigation controls,
mouse navigation, key combinations, and searching, or visiting pre-defined places.

11. Historical Imagery – shows the timeline of earth over the years.
