3 imagery updates to Google Earth and Maps

In addition to helping you browse Earth's changes, we're also making it easier for researchers and organizations to use Google Earth for projects, like creating custom maps. Soon we'll start showing projects right from a newly designed home screen in Google Earth, making it even easier to collaborate with your teams. You can learn more about these updates on our developer blog.

Expanding Street View imagery in nearly 80 countries

While Google Earth has a vast repository of satellite and aerial imagery, Street View displays over 280 billion images collected from our Street View cars and trekkers. With Street View, you can virtually explore every continent right from your living room - and even places like the Great Barrier Reef and the International Space Station. Now, we're launching one of the biggest updates to Street View yet, with new imagery in almost 80 countries - some of which will have Street View imagery for the very first time.

You'll be able to explore the picturesque countryside of Bosnia and its medieval villages, the sandy mountains surrounding the capital of Namibia, the alps and castles of Liechtenstein and the beautiful rivers of Paraguay. You can even virtually wander the streets of foreign cities to see shops and buildings up close.
