Google today presented its new version of Google Earth for the web version and for Android. A new version of the application that the Moutain View people have worked on for the last two years and that adds new functions, options and features that will make the possibility of exploring the places of the world easier and more attractive.
The new features are now available in the web version of Google Earth in the Google Chrome browser and via an update on Android that will be arriving this week. Soon it will reach the rest of browsers and operating systems so that all users can access the new content.
Among the options of the new Google Earth comes Voyager. A function that allows access to interactive guides that have included historians and scientists and that will allow you to know more details about practically any place. At the moment there is more than 50 interactive stories about places in the world like Gombe National Park (Tanzania) or Sesame Street (Mexico). Stories will continue to be added on a weekly basis and the catalog will increase with new places and explanations to travel the world with guides.
3D also has space in the new version since different layers have been included so that you can see monuments and places in great detail, from any angle and so that you do not lose sight of any of their perspectives.
If you don't know what you want to visit, the new Google Earth incorporates the option "I'm gonna get lucky”, Which will take you to a random place. Among more than 20.000 options and places you can end up anywhere in the world to visit places that you did not know existed or in which you have never been interested. Once you've gone to the place there will be information through a card and you will be able to know its history, what happened, curiosities and also photographs. Also, if you like any of the options you especially like, you can click to go to related places.
If you find a landscape or place that you liked too much, that reminds you of something, that you want to share, you can do it. You can share the location you are exploring with your Android and your friends can click and go to the same place. So you can relive that trip years ago or plan a new experience in a certain place.
But Google knows that if we have all done something in Earth is looking for our home. Our houses and our friends'. That is why it has also launched a new section called: This is home. A section that takes you on a walk through houses around the world, showing you new cultures, traditions and customs. You can see different houses depending on the country you go to and discover new homes as the app adds them.
