Google Earth Tracking
Google Earth is one of those cool tools that, for many, have no use except for "visiting" places they used to live or have visited before. However this tool can be immensely helpful when looking for your next home, holiday destination or used in conjunction with other software.
With a click of a button, Google Earth can allow you a limited 3-D view of a house you are considering to rent or buy. You can view the relative terrain in the area surrounding the house which is extremely useful when considering flooding. Google Earth can also map the driving distance between your potential residence and favourite destinations with mashups used for vehicle tracking or marking themed locations.
Another advantage of Google Earth is that it is privy to the same information as Google Maps. If you are looking for certain amenities near the property you are considering, Google Earth will list the ones that it knows of and can be used to search for more.
Live tracking using GPS location devices now brings life to the Google Earth and the TrackaParcel system does just that.
