The planet's computer users have downloaded Google Earth more than one billion times, the company said on October 5 in an official blog.
The programme, which offers users a customizable and navigable rendering of the world from Mars to the ocean floor, was bought by Google in 2004 when it acquired the company Keyhole, which invented the first version of the software in 2001.
To celebrate the one-billionth download, Google launched a new website at www.OneWorldManyStories.com, which features "people all over the world who use Google Earth to follow their dreams, discover new and distant places, or make the world a better place."
