Now Google Earth comes with Historical Date

To honor Geography Awareness Week, Google recently released a new featured content on Google Earth. The new content now uses overlay maps by David Rumsey Historical Maps to attach users to information about world wide history. The David Rumsey maps overlaid on Google Earth integrated historic cartographic masterpieces dating as back as the 17th century.

Google Earth is also dealing with National Geographic to network interactive geography quizzes with the maps that test users’ knowledge of Africa that is the focus of Geography Awareness Week this year. It would feature community-generated data about Africa, in addition to flags from the 53 sovereign nations of the continent.
