Since Google first introduced Google Earth, which seems like a long time ago, there haven’t been any major changes but merely just small additions here and there. This week, Google gave Earth a fresh makeover across most major platforms.

Google has indeed released a revamped version of Google Earth, which has been in the making for over two years. The tech giant did a good job keeping its developments quiet, until just last week when first heard about the possibility of an update. The new Google Earth comes with fresh 3D imaging and features such as guided tours and an “I’m feeling lucky” button.

If you’re a frequent Google Earth traveler, you’ll notice a change right from the second that you click on the app or open Earth’s home webpage. Users are first greeted with a new screen that loads upon booting. And when booting up for the first time, users are presented with a brief tour of the refreshed design layout and new features.

Some new additions include Voyager, quick information cards and 3D postcards. With this version of the software, Google is making learning about the world far more interactive with built-in tours, and fun with abilities to quickly share information that you like. Google reminds us, “Feel free to lose yourself a little—with Google Earth you can always find your way back home.”
