Press the 3D button in the corner of the UI, and you’ll be able to get a movable drone’s-eye view of historical, geographical, or architectural marvels around the world.
While you’re there, you’ll also be able to see the location in three dimensions in your browser or on your mobile device, using the service’s new 3D feature.
Even if you disable the option ' Include Google Chrome, a fast new browser for Windows and Mac', youll still download a Web. By default, Google downloads a small setup file that installs Google Earth, Google Chrome and Google Updater. At least if you want to download only Google Earth and save the installer for a future use.
In the first post of this series, you learned how to install and set up the Google Earth (Pro) work environment and how to use all the short keys and mouse clicks & drags to navigate smoothly in Google Earth. Downloading Google Earth is more complicated than it should be. Click it and the service will take you somewhere unexpected, from opera houses in Italy to hot springs in Japan, before showing you a “knowledge card” of interesting facts. Google Earth is a great way to visualise your geographical data without too much prior knowledge. The new Google Earth also adds an I’m Feeling Lucky button, as borrowed from its bigger search sibling. Also available are video journeys to six different habitats produced by BBC Earth, and a kid-friendly jaunt to Mexico with Sesame Street muppet Lola, to learn about Mayan ruins. Google says more than 50 are available already - under the service’s new “Voyager” section - including a tour of the Tanzanian Gombe National Park led by primate expert Jane Goodall and her team. Those tours are interactive, and are led by scientists, documentarians, and other experts, helping users learn about our world. The new version adds new features that let users see 3D maps of specific locations, learn about random places around the world, and take guided tours from their Chrome browser or mobile devices. Just in time for Earth Day, Google has redesigned Google Earth for web and Android.
