At we’ve collected stories from people all over the world who use Google Earth to follow their dreams, discover new and distant places, or make the world a better place.
back in 2001 (the company was acquired by Google in 2004), we never imagined our geospatial technology would be used by people in so many unexpected ways. We’re proud of our one billion milestone, but we’re even more amazed at the way people have used Google Earth to explore the world. That’s more than one billion downloads of the Google Earth desktop client, mobile apps and the Google Earth plug-in-all enabling you to to explore the world in seconds, from Earth to Mars to the ocean floor. Today, we’ve reached our own one billion mark: Google Earth has been downloaded more than one billion times since it was first introduced in 2005. If you traveled from Earth to the Moon three times, your journey would measure one billion meters. One billion minutes ago, the Roman Empire was flourishing. How large is one billion? One billion hours ago modern humans were living in the Stone Age.
