introduction
A few days ago, there was a lot of noise on station B about Google Translate’s withdrawal from the mainland. Although I personally don’t necessarily use Google Translate, when I read some words in a language that I don’t understand, I would use my browser to open Google as soon as possible. Translation, unknowingly, I have already regarded Google Translate as the best platform for translation. However, as a general-purpose software, Google Translate has always been relatively strong in replaceability. I didn’t think about it too much, and planned to use Deepl translation instead. There are products such as Bing and NetEase. Deepl, a translation platform, was discovered by chance when I opened it not long ago, but it seems to be well known to many people, so is there any correlation between Deepl translation’s sudden “out of the circle” and Google translation’s withdrawal from the mainland? I always have this unrealistic speculation. All in all, in a word, Google Translate quits when it quits. In contrast, another business that Google quit the mainland a few years ago seems very difficult to replace, it is – Google Earth.
Knowledge of Google Earth
When I first came into contact with Google Earth, my family hadn’t even bought the first computer. It should have been my elementary school. I remember that the teacher downloaded and installed Google Earth on the multimedia in the classroom, and put it on the blue one. We found our position on the ball. After a long search by the teacher, our entire class (at least most of them) was amazed. The teacher showed the top view of our village in the display box. The house and every road are inside, and I also praised in my heart: So my house looks like this from the top. So, really have to admire the magic of the online world. At the same time, I also realized that our village used to be so small, and that our village was not a paradise. The village and the outside world have always been closely linked, but it was not as profound as it is now, but I have to say that Google The earth has opened up a horizon.
When I was in junior high school, my family purchased a computer and pulled a 2M broadband. I did not forget to install Google Maps on my computer. My father also likes to use it to see the map around my house. Google Maps has become my favorite. Best choice for a home tour with my dad. It’s just that the network was very slow at the time, and I couldn’t connect from time to time. Google Maps often couldn’t be loaded. My father often asked me, why can’t I open it? Every time I reply to him that the network is poor, but as long as I can’t open it again, my father will ask me again. Gradually, my father stopped shopping, and I gradually forgot to use it to see the world, until it really “won’t open”…
After Google Earth Continent server shuts down
I don’t know exactly when Google Earth won’t open again, but it’s never “open” for me. If people want to look at the world, they must have free time. Although I used the Internet in science when I was in high school, I didn’t have enough time. In the three years I was in college, I used the Internet scientifically. Ways to hang out on Google Maps. I’m curious about our neighbors, so I often look around on the Street View, swiping through sections of the Street View, as if I’m already in it, like a traveler, but I’m penniless. In addition, I also watched the most powerful United States in the world today, Italy, one of the origins of Western culture. In the future, I would also like to see France, Cuba, and Argentina… 
Disadvantages of Scientific Internet
Scientific Internet access is a powerful tool for traveling around the world, but at the same time, I will not hesitate to admit a few things. First, it requires money. Second, using it is actually a matter of walking on the edge of the law. Third, scientific Internet access is actually limited by bandwidth and line. When the line is poor, using it will only make you more annoyed, “Why can’t you connect? Is it banned? … In short, it is very impactful. One thing about my mood.” Because of these problems, even if I can use the Internet scientifically, now I don’t bother to use it anymore.
Continental version of Google Earth
Just this morning, station B recommended a video to me, and I learned about the existence of the “Continental version of Google Earth”. Although I didn’t finish the video, I was impatient. I opened the connection and downloaded the file. Need to read the instructions, it can be used directly after installation. When Haruka thinks of browsing Google Earth so happily, it must have been three years ago, and it always makes me feel strange inadvertently. I toured for most of the morning and found a Toyota car of the same model as me near a school in Japan. In addition, I visited Mount Fuji; I seem to understand what kind of existence Mount Fuji is to the Japanese people. , If there is such a huge mountain on my side, I will probably want to climb it and take a look. 
The mainland version of Google Earth comes with multiple image sources and related annotation sources, which ensures its versatility, but at the same time, too many layers may lead to too much cache. I didn’t know when I first used it, so I turned all layers on. , maybe because of the low configuration of my computer, which eventually caused the software to freeze abnormally. Fortunately, after resetting the software, I can continue to use it. However, it is recommended to reduce the layers when using it, so as to reduce the possibility of stuttering, and the two are helpful for fast tours.
