Is there really such thing as 'google earth live'?

Someone told me about a newer version of google earth called 'google earth live' where everything is live; you can see people walking, cars moving, and even zoom into windows of peoples' houses. So I went home and did a search on it, but only the original google earth came up. Is it real or not? If so can you send me a site were I can downloaded it and check it out for myself?|||Someones having you on.





For google earth they take lots of pictures with satellites or planes. There is no way they would be able to get them picture to you live and for free.





Give it maybe another 50years, we haven't got computers quick enough to do it yet.|||No this is not true everything you see on GE is old it can not be live because its a matter national security. We don't want other armies out there seeing what we are doing at the base.|||Edit: Re-researching.





Edit 2: It seems to have been an April Fools joke someone came up with that was popularized across the web





However having said that, it is not inconceivable to have live streaming images broadcast from geostationary satellites positioned over certain cities. Those satellites are already in place handling global communications and if they had a camera on them it wouldn't take too much effort to provide a video feed. That being said, it would not be able to zoom in at the level of the existing imagery.|||No there is no such thing as Google Earth Live.


I wish there was though. But anyway if there was it would be very popular and there would also be a lot of issues which would cause for it to be discontinued
