The new Google Earth 6 has integrated Street View experience and 3D trees. The new version offers the Street View experience which allows the users to zoom in and see 360-degree.
The following are the features of the new Google Earth 6.
*Integrated Street View
* 3D trees
* Easy-to-use historical imagery
"We’ve made it very easy to discover historical imagery. When you fly to an area where historical imagery is available, the date of the oldest imagery will appear in the status bar at the bottom of the screen," describes Google.
Windows/Mac/Linux: The just-released Google Earth 6 adds an entirely new—and surprisingly interesting—dimension to Google's virtual globe application: 3D trees. Well, trees and a much-improved street view.
Currently Google's mapped actual trees in 3D—80 million of them according to TechCrunch—in cities across the globe, including San Francisco, Tokyo, Athens, and Chicago. To enable trees, you'll need to tick the Trees checkbox inside the 3D Buildings layer.
Watch the video above for a look at the new feature in action. In addition to Trees, Google Earth 6 has added much improved Street View support. You can either zoom until Street View is automatically enabled, or you can drag the familiar yellow Street View avatar (called "peg man") to the street you want to see. You can also switch between Street View or 3D ground level mode (the latter shows the 3D buildings and trees).
For anyone that's counting, Google Earth now does trees, sky, ocean, buildings, and streets. Crazy. Google Earth is a free download for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
