Armchair tourists traveling the globe via Google Earth can now watch YouTube videos related to each destination they visit, Google announced Thursday. A new YouTube layer in Google Earth’s Featured Content folder allows users to zoom in on any location and view YouTube videos related to that place. For example, by zooming in on Maui, a user might see videos of surfing, snorkeling and exotic sea life; one checking out Chamonix-Mont Blanc, France, on the other hand, can watch breathtaking videos filmed at the highest points of the Alps.
