Google Earth is useful for many day-to-day and other purposes.
- Google Earth can be used to view areas subjected to widespread disasters if Google supplies up-to-date images. For example after the January 12 2010 Haiti earthquake images of Haiti were made available on January 17.
- With Google's push for the inclusion of Google Earth in the Classroom,[13] teachers are adopting Google Earth in the classroom for lesson planning, such as teaching students geographical themes (location, culture, characteristics, human interaction, and movement)[14] to creating mashups with other web applications such as Wikipedia.[13][14]
- One can explore and place location bookmarks on the Moon, and Mars.
- One can also get directions using Google Earth, using variables such as street names, cities, and establishments.
- Google Earth can also function as a "hub" of knowledge, pertaining to your location. By enabling certain options, one can see the location of gas stations, restaurants, museums, and other public establishments in their area. Google Earth can also dot the map with links to images, YouTube videos, and Wikipedia articles relevant to the area being viewed.
