Google Earth can do time lapse even if it only displays the very current image.
Users simply pick a location, open View and Historical Imagery for the standard view, or the Time icon for the 3D view. It will show what changes have occurred on the target place, depending on how many data sets users have selected. It is accessible from the Tools windows.
Users can select a real-life location and runway to start with. Powerful mapping application with embedded information. A review by Felix Cheng.
