Back Roads Wine is building wineries and golf courses for Google Earth.
Google is rapidly becoming the 3-d search engine for the planet.
The buildings on Google Earth give customers the ability to see themselves in context with the rest of the world. A virtual experience is like going there in person. It's not like watching a movie, it's like making a movie. A model in Google Earth is as different as the person viewing it as one person can study architecture, a golfer can study terrain, a visitor can get driving instructions, a wine drinker can follow links to the up to date wine list, the restaurant visitor can follow links to the menu, the concert goer can follow links to the concert schedule and watch videos of past performances.
Another feature which is coming is the ability to follow golfers in real time as there are people with GPS devices following the golf pros so viewers can log in and see where their favorite player is. Golfers can also study details of the terrain and read data of individual fairways.
Finally, Google Earth is its own browser as it has links back to the original websites which currently populate the internet. Also, the businesses information can be linked from the model as well as pictures, driving directions, and videos of the site. The whole world is getting on Google Earth. What are you waiting for?
