Tips for Searching and Finding Out-of-the-Way Places
The first step in finding a specific location is to type the address in the "Fly To" box in the **Search** task pane. If you are searching for a foreign address, it is best to first find the city and country, then narrow the search by typing the address after Google Earth has flown to that city. For example, to find the Wazir Akbar Khan district in Kabul, first "Fly To" Kabul, Afghanistan. Then search for "Wazir Akbar Khan."

If you cannot find a foreign city or location, there are other ways to locate it besides using Google Earth's **Search** capabilities. If you are able to find the GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) for the desired site, you may enter those in the "Fly To" box.
