The Google Earth features quiz

View in Google Earth

With each new release, Google Earth gets more features. Unfortunately, a lot of these features are unknown to most Google Earth users. In order to show the features Google Earth has in store and what you can do with them, Merkador designed the Google Earth feature quiz.

Question 2The Google Earth feature quiz
The quiz consists of 10 questions, spread across the globe. If you're familiar with the Google Earth features, you'll have no problems solving the questions. If you're not familiar with all the features, you can hit the 'Give me a tip' button to help you.

You can solve a question by entering its answer in the question's balloon and hitting the 'Submit' button. If your answer is correct, a link will appear that takes you to the next question location.

While looking for answers, the question balloons probably will close. To reopen a question balloon, just click on its icon in the Google Earth viewing window or click the question in the 'Quiz questions' folder on the left in Google Earth.

Because the quiz uses some of the new features of Google Earth 5.2, it will not work properly in earlier versions. You can download the latest version of Google Earth from google.com/earth.

Train schedule animation

When I saw the Ebb and Flow of Melbourne Trains by Flink Labs, it sprang to my mind that producing a similar animation in Google Earth could be done pretty easily using Google Earth's time slider. I made this animation for the trains going to and coming from the station of Leuven, the city where I daily commute to by train.
