7 You will now see an image of Earth on your screen. Move your finger on it to see how you can move it around. 8 To find Britain (it’s tiny to start), move the globe until the expanse of light brown (the Sahara) is level across the middle of the screen. Britain is now in the 11 o’clock position. Alternatively, use the search function.

4 You’ll be offered a number of options. Google Earth should be at or near the top. Click on Download cloud icon or ‘Install’. It then downloads. 5 Once processed, press ‘Open’ button. 6 The app opens with a short tutorial. Press the ‘Skip’ button if you prefer!

9 To zoom in and expand the image, place two fingertips close together on the screen, then slide them apart. The map expands and shrinks as you move your fingers in and out. 10 If you repeatedly zoom in, you’ll begin to see more detail on the map. To move the map around, use one finger. You can

5 Tap your destination into the text box and then hit ‘Go’. 6 Your destination appears on the map. We picked Keal Lodge campsite (///thudding. theme.self) because it’s in a rural location where postcodes might confuse. Touch the map to find your three-word destination.
