Google Earth is a great app that allows you to explore the entire world from above with satellite imagery. Users can also explore 3D buildings in hundreds of cities around the globe. One of the many good things about this app is that it gives you the possibility to dive in for a 360° perspective with Street View, which allows you to wonder through your favorite streets.
Users of Google Earth can also take advantage of Voyager, which is basically a collection of guided tours from NASA, National Geographic and BBC Earth.
The app has recently received a new update, which is available for downloading right away. Let’s take a look at what’s new.
