Tomorrow is Valentine’s day. As we have done in past years, we are sharing a collection of hearts from Google Earth Hacks. You can also view them in the YouTube video below:
Here is our Valentine’s Day message from Google Earth Blog, powered by GeoGreeting.com.
You could also take a virtual romantic vacation by touring Venice in Google Earth, as it has just received new 3D imagery. We do not recommend taking a Gondola ride as Google’s 3D does not handle water very well and the canals are quite bumpy.

While researching this post we were made aware of how many sights in Google Earth are moments in time as well as space.
This marriage proposal in a field that we looked at in 2006 is now part of the suburbs.
We couldn’t even find the Marriage proposal in Street View from this post. It is right outside the GooglePlex and has over 50 different dates of Street View, but as far as we could tell, the one with the marriage proposal in is missing.
