Google hat eine neue Version von Google Earth veröffentlicht, Version 6. Das Release umfasst neben den üblichen kleineren Bugfixes folgende neue Features, von denen die sogenannte Ground-Level Navigation wohl das interessanteste ist.
- 3D Streetview: We made significant improvement in StreetView pano
navigation. You no longer have to hop between SV pano, you can now
move from one pano to next seamlessly by simple forward/backward
keyboard key (or scroll wheel). - Ground Level Navigation (GNav): Available everywhere, We have a new
navigation mode for intuitive navigation on ground - Tree: We have added tree models
- Time Machine UI: We have made it easier to discover historical
imagery.
