Google Earth for Android Tablets

Google Earth is a satellite-image service that lets you look at and manipulate photographs of just about anywhere on the planet. The Nexus 7 is a perfect device for doing so due to its large display and touch screen, which make zooming and navigating a breeze. A new 3D imagery feature lets you view 3D recreations of a number of popular cities, including San Francisco, Boston and Rome, with every building modeled in 3D. There's no better way to see the world without leaving your couch than Google Earth on a Nexus 7 tablet.
