7. GOOGLE EARTH API
https://developers.google.com/earth/
What is the Google Earth API?
The Google Earth Plug-in and its JavaScript API let
you embed Google Earth, a true 3D digital globe,
into your web pages. Using the API you can draw
markers and lines, drape images over the terrain,
add 3D models, or load KML files, allowing you to
build sophisticated 3D map applications. If you
have an existing Maps API site, you can 3D-
enable your page with as little as one line of
code.

8. GOOGLE SKETCHUP
SketchUp is a free utility that allows you to create
3D models for Google Earth. The program is
basically a CAD tool, and although it offers
Google Earth support, it can be used to create
other types of drawings and 3D models as well.
Perhaps one of the most useful features is that you
can download 3D buildings and other objects
from an online library. Once you do, you can use
the model in its existing form or you can use the
drawing tools to modify it.

11. GOOGLE DRIVE
Google Drive is a cloud storage service that allows

more online in one place. From Drive, you can also
