data as Google Earth™. Satellite images are not
real-time. Google Earth acquires the best imagery
available, most of which is approximately one to
three years old.
Ⅲ Terrain: Shows the elevation of the map you’re
viewing. Elevation is limited to natural geographic
features, like mountains and canyons, and does
not apply to buildings.
Ⅲ Buzz: See photos and information about places
shared by other people, or post your own.
Ⅲ Latitude: When you have joined Latitude, you can
view your friends’ locations as a layer on the map.
For information, see “Finding your friends with
Google Latitude (available by country)” in this
chapter.

map.
Ⅲ More Layers: Select more layers such as transit
