Google Earth has a great deal of cool functions that can help trainees discover the world. Among those neat functions is the “Im Feeling Lucky” button that is discovered on the left hand toolbar in Google Earth. Clicking that button will take trainees to a randomly-selected location in the world..

This brief video shows how trainees can explore Google Earth in more detail after clicking “Im Feeling Lucky.”.
