Google Earth for Android received an update to version 7.1.1 today which brings three important new features. The biggest of these is the addition of Street View to Google Earth. The Google Maps app already had Street View, but now Google Earth users can join in on the fun. Google Earth has always been meant for exploring, and this new feature, which allows users to zoom in all the way from a satellite view of the earth to Street View, takes exploring to a whole new level.
This update also adds improved directions and search for visualizing transit, walk, bike, and drive directions in 3D. In addition, an improved interface is implemented, with sliding menu panels on the left and bottom of the screen.
