Google Earth is an Android application created by a well-known tech company. It maps the Earth by superimposing satellite data onto a 3D globe.
3D map
This utility allows you to virtually travel anywhere in the world and zoom in to explore various locations in detail. Thus, giving you a comprehensive view of global landmarks, terrains, cities, and natural landscapes.
Google Earth provides layers of customizable information. This includes roads, borders, places of interest, photos, and more. By toggling these layers, you can customize your viewing experience to highlight specific types of data.
One of its notable features is Google Street View which is sourced from Google Maps. This functionality provides panoramic, 360-degree imagery of streets in cities globally. You can virtually “walk” down roads and explore neighborhoods.
Additional tools
In addition, there is a Historical Imagery tool available. In certain locations, you can view and compare past satellite images, revealing how an area has transformed over time. This provides a perspective on urban development, environmental changes, and significant global events. Beyond its primary focus on Earth, the app also extends its reach to celestial exploration.
