Since we don’t have images for every viewpoint in the world, moving away from the spot where a photo was taken can look weird at times. To help you navigate, we’ve also added new controls for ground-level viewing: use the scroll-wheel to move forward and backward, double-click to move towards a point, and click-and-drag to look around. As you move along the street, we blend together different panoramas to create the illusion of one continuous 3D scene. Using the panoramic images and 3D depth data from our Street View vehicles, we built 3D street scenes and integrated them into Google Earth. To do this, we took the ideas that were developed for Smart Navigation in Google Maps and pushed them even further. Today, we’re proud to show off this concept in the new version of Street View in Google Earth 6. Although Street View is technically a big collection of photos, we want you to feel like you’re actually walking down the street instead of jumping from photo to photo. So when we sat down to enhance the Street View experience for version 6, we focused on improving not only how you fly around but also how you land and explore the world at street level. This is sometimes done in emergency situations - such as when an area has been hit by a natural disaster and new images would be of valuable assistance to the recovery and relief efforts.Google Earth has always enabled you virtually fly around the world from the comfort of your home, but there are a lot of great places to explore on the ground as well. However, Google and its image providers do have the ability to rapidly integrate new images into the program.
The images are acquired by satellites, processed by commercial image providers or government agencies, and then updated to the Google Earth image database in batches. Large cities generally have more recent and higher resolution images than sparsely inhabited areas.Ī misconception exists among some people that the images displayed in the Google Earth program are live-updated directly from satellites. Most of the images in Google Earth were acquired within the past three years, and Google is continuously updating the image set for different parts of the Earth. Hope you enjoy! Recent Images, Updated Regularly We are simply enthusiastic users of the Google Earth product. We frequently use Google Earth for research, learning, and fun!
