You can also use satellite view, which gives you access to satellite and aerial images that you can zoom in, zoom out, or pan in any direction. You can create personalized, annotated, customized maps, complete with placemarks, lines or shapes. Add additional content including rich text, photos, videos and then share your map with others or open it in Google Earth.
