Google Earth-Additional Features

I personally don't look into Google Earth that often as I have no reasons to use it except for the once in awhile curiosity of what it can do or its additional features.  I did however come across a website for Google Earth showcasing its many features (new or not) that it has to offer besides just typing in addresses and "flying" to those locations.  

Google Earth Showcase

If you click on any of these Showcases, such as Ocean, you should see a list of activities/adventures/expeditions on the right hand side that you can look through.  Some of them even allow you to "Download in Google Earth," which is located underneath the video.

If you choose to Download in Google Earth, double click on the file that is downloaded and it should open up in Google Earth.  If it opens up in a different application, Control + Click on the file, choose Open With and locate Google Earth.  It takes you right to the activity/adventure/expedition.
