Moreover, these data are given to you in a dynamic form. you can smoothly zoom in where ever you want. zoom out again, go east, west south or north... and look at another place. you can have satellite pics or street maps, or both.

And then, you can use these data. not just look at them. put a pin on your home. draw your favourite walk in the mountain. or your 2 weeks trip in China. Add pictures you took. More and more is possible, and it's more and more easy.

It doesn't impress you? that's maybe because you don't like maps so much. Now, what would you say of a 3D view of earth where you could do the same? That's also available!
