September 30, 2024 - I purchased the program that became Google Earth from the company that originally published the App. years ago. It was great news when Google purchased the App/program/utility. and has done wonderful things to improve it over the years. Google Earth is one of the few Apps I own, and often use it find places I'm interested in because of News events, and to explore places that are used to film movie and TV productions. Also, as time permits, I use it to explore places that I will never be able to visit. Obviously, it's not the same as actually visiting those places, but it is a lot more environmentally friendly, and costs nothing. Google Earth has had a "back in time" function for quite a few years. It has been possible to see what some places and areas looked like in the past for some time now.
