Explore and Discover South Africa Using Google Earth Maps

The best way to find out about a country is to explore its maps. Google Earth has made it possible to "fly over" any part of the world and then zoom into a chosen spot or features. The value of these maps in helping tourists to identify great itineraries and at the same time locate the best places to stay. See list of links below the example image shown here.

Golf Courses on Google Earth Knysna

Google Earth Map Example

You'll find lots of these maps to interest you.

The image displayed here shows a static miniature version of a dynamic map we created in Google Earth showing the exact geographic location of two important golf courses in the Knysna region of South Africa. This is the kind of power that Google Earth maps provide for users. The maps show real locations and leaves the potential visitor in little doubt as to what wonders to expect in South Africa.

Once the map is opened in Google Earth the map can be enlarged, rotated, tilted and zoomed into in order to give fascinating aerial views of the landscape and landmarks from all angles.

The Google Earth maps I’ve created show locations of many of the top holiday features to suit most people. These maps contain place markers and in many instances clicking on a place marker will provide summarised information relating to that particular map point.

The following is a self explanatory list of Google maps we've created from GPS information we've collated.  Example map images are shown on the linked pages. The Google Maps themselves are fully interactive.
