Using the app's search feature, we were able to look up the street view of a local chain grocery store, as well as go directly to the store's Web site. Once your location is found, the app introduces pictures of prominent landmarks, including schools and businesses that are close by that you can also browse. We zoomed in and found our house, which is both creepy and kind of cool at the same time. In just a few seconds, an overview of our neighborhood appeared on the screen. We tapped the My Location button and gave it access to our current location. For example, it uses circles to show you how to move up, down, tilt, zoom, and reset the view. To begin, Google Earth for iPhone has a very helpful tutorial for navigating the app. It brings the popular virtual map service to your fingertips.

You know all that time you spend looking up your house and your friends' houses on Google Earth? Well, now you can do it anytime, anywhere with Google Earth for iPhone.
