geoGreeting

By Alma Row

Google Earth is one of the best freeware titles available if you’re looking for a tool that can enliven any instruction. geoGreeting provides an interesting twist on Google Earth by allowing users to send messages composed of letters formed by aerial shots of images from Google Earth. You can key in a message of up to 40 characters and then either email the message or share the link. When you -- or the message recipient -- clicks the individual letters in the message, the program shows where on Earth the letter was found. Go ahead…send someone a geoGreeting!
