100% Pure New Zealand Layer on Google Earth

 

Tourism New Zealand has teamed up with Search engine Google to develop a 100% Pure New Zealand layer on the popular Google Earth™ product. This is the first time that a tourism authority has developed an official "layer" for Google Earth.

Google Earth combines Google Search with satellite imagery, maps, terrain and 3D buildings to provide in-depth, easily accessible geographic information.
