Well now you can dig an imaginary tunnel to the other side of the earth with 3d earth maps such as Google maps. Google earth map allows you to use its tunneling tool in order to see what is on the other side of the earth from the spot you live or are located at this very instance. This tool is ideal for geography buffs or just your average person who is filled with curiosity about their home and what lies directly beneath it and since this is a Google 3d earth map tool you can be confident that it will give you some of the most accurate information about what lays beneath you with a visually pleasing presentation.

The Google tunneling tool is known as an antipodes map where an antipode is a place on earth that is diametrically opposed to a certain point. If you want to try this 3d map tool you can simply go to the google maps site and find the map tunneling tool. The tool uses two side by side maps in order to show you what is at the end of the imaginary tunnel you create. Simply click and drag one of the maps to the place of interest and the other map will move according to the first showing you what lies beneath the first map; it is that easy. You can also zoom in and out on the maps to make things easier for you or to find what lies beneath a specific place within a country as opposed to a whole country. Though there aren’t many real world applications to this type of technology it is a fun way to learn about geography and the makeup of the world.
