About Google Earth
Google Earth is a web and computer program created by Google that renders a 3D representation of Earth based primarily on satellite imagery. The program maps the Earth by superimposing satellite images, aerial photography, and GIS data onto a 3D globe, allowing users to see cities and landscapes from various angles. Users can explore the globe by entering addresses and coordinates, or by using a keyboard or mouse. The program can also be downloaded on a smartphone or tablet, using a touch screen or stylus to navigate. Users may use the program to add their own data using Keyhole Markup Language and upload them through various sources, such as forums or blogs. Google Earth is able to show various kinds of images overlaid on the surface of the Earth and is also a Web Map Service client. In 2019, Google revealed that Google Earth covers more than 97 percent of the world.

Starting with you, John. Right. My fact is that when the Greek government put attacks on swimming pools in 2008, only 324 Athenians admitted to having one. A search by Google Earth however revealed the actual number, 16,974. It's incredible. It's bare face, isn't it? According to the IMF, more than half of all Greek households pay no income tax at all. Wow. Greece has got the largest black market in the whole euro zone, accounting for 21.5% of its GDP.
