Not Even Basic App Comforts (2020 iPad Pro). It takes a lot of disappointment for me to write reviews but this app is just so flat. It’s like they took what they were in the process of developing years ago and just threw it up without even looking at it for a quick review. I am terrible at geography and thought this would help me with a class I’m taking but I was mistaken. You can’t adjust any type of visual settings so if you zoom too far in on, say, China, you get a million different location names in English and Chinese and you can’t even see the land under all the text. Also, it would be really enjoyable (and easier on my old lady eyes) to be able to make borders bold or different colors or even cut out a region to view it individually. It is absolutely impossible to tell one country/state from the next with the impossibly thin tan line separating everything that, oh yea, is the same color that is used for most of the landscape. What a mess. Overall really great concept but what I’m gathering from other reviews, the app particularly for iPad is super low quality compared to others. I now know that if I had a desktop I’d be able to look at the moon and mars so I feel really gypped now. And yes, even though I didn’t pay anything I still feel shortchanged.

You can not travel without Google——-. especially if you are motoring somewhere and need a hotel, restaurant, or medical help. The Maps app is enormously helpful because in addition to the video depictions, the aural directions allow you to listen to the driving directions and watch the road. The Earth app is a fantastic aerial view of your route and/or destination, which then allows you to simply go to maps and enter the address. You can enter enroute information requests for hotels and gas stations or just about anything you want or need. It is very intuitive, is GPS synch’d, and will get you un-lost in a jiffy. You simply can not go anywhere without this app.

Great App...Has issues. UPDATE: They need to change the timeline so we can see historical dates; only seeing back to 1985 is not historical. Plus, better quality images, so many when zoomed in are still poor quality/blurry. And STOP blocking some images that are not gov’t sensitive. I really enjoy this app. I use it for various things. I wish Google would STOP blocking images that aren’t too secret, it’s annoying and not their place to do so. Also, when I click on some blue spots to view street view, they don’t load, but state “No street view available here. Tap a location highlighted in blue to enter street view.” But that’s what I’d just done. Please fix these.

Fix the time differences. I’ve always LOVED this app. Being able to explore places I’ve always wanted to go without having to get off the couch. But, I’ve noticed a problem and to be completely honest I can’t seem to find a reason why the people in charge can’t or won’t fix these problems. First problem is the blurred areas. Certain places I’ve looked at in the past were completely clear and I was always able to zoom in almost to the point of being able to read street signs. Now y’all have started blurring our a LOT of different details and to be honest it makes the app a lot less appealing and more useless than useful. Problem #2. The seasonal overlapping... now this happens on my GPS when I use it with satellite overlay. BUT, once I’ve zoomed in to a certain point it all clears up and the picture is as it should be according to the season. I’m a HUGE history fanatic so I’m constantly looking for ruins and remnants of the past in places most people can easily get to. But when I start noticing that the picture refuses to clear up and focus and the fine and important details are now blurred. It makes me ask why. Which also causes me to look for answers. Which has also given me no other choice but to contact certain people to hack into certain satellites so I can get the answers i need. 🙃

Desperately needs an update with better features.. Decent, but is lacking major useful features such as; • Save Pinned Location, that you can custom label • User Guide! Explaining each and every function! -From the upper right hand symbols (domino, measurement, etc.). -What each icon over buildings mean (speaking of; there is an error when tapping the icon to get information. A ‘no internet connection’ pops up. Maybe it’s not an error but lack of info on that place?) -In addition to the icon explanation; add the colour of it. Ex: the fork & spoon being orange, dot being grey, shopping bag being blue, etc. I ask that you PLEASE keep these suggestions in mind. I’m not sure if updates still occur or if the app is still being monitored by the creators. I implore these features to be made at some point. I believe it’ll boost the ratings this app gets. That said! Do not rush to get the updates done and out immediately, otherwise a major bug/error may happen. Take time and update at your speed. One at a time or as a bundle. Pardon the wall of text and if I seemed commanding, it was not at all my intention! Just my own thoughts and opinion. Thank you for reading. Sincerely; Anastasia |aka| Haka

I am I guess I could read it a like five star. The reason why I read the five star is because I love traveling the world single world see what it looks like it’s so cool that you get to see it first from online and maybe travel there someday but it’s also cool that is 3-D so it makes it more of a listing to make it seem like it actually did right now not so the fact is people waiting here for stars in do you starving to Sturgeon wanna start that their opinion but they’re being real with that will be ratings because that this happened that bad so chill

GE for iPad - where is the MENU/options & project is unnecessary. I was a consistent user of Google earth and loved it! I have no need to create a Project, but this is intrusive and blocks too much of the view. So I looked for an option to turn project off, discovering there is no MENU available in GE for iPad to see. I tried HELP on Google search and each one referenced a MENU and options. I deleted the app and downloaded again to see if that fixed it. The first time I opened (after the new download) I found the MENU to the right of search box behind my first initial encircled in green. But this MENU disappeared on subsequent openings of the app. I looked for a “feedback” option or any mechanism to report this MENU issue, but nothing. GOOGLE, what gives? I seldom give mediocre reviews without looking for HELP, but this seems to be my only option.

Really great!. Oh, man. I use this app far more than I’d like to admit. When I’m planning out mountaineering routes and backcountry ski trips, Google Earth proves shockingly useful. I would never use Google Earth in place of a detailed topo map, but there’s something revelatory about being able to fly around a 3-D image of your objective and view it from different angles. In fact, it’s this usefulness that makes me occasionally frustrated with it. The reliance on data signal makes it an unreliable friend in the backcountry. I wish (like with Google Maps) there were some way to save certain areas to my phone so that I could consult a 3-D rendering of the terrain in which I’m currently route-finding, rather than just taking a ton of screenshots.

Some Areas Needs an Update!!!!. I like Google Earth. I believe it’s a pretty cool feature to explore the world and see different places and such. However, there is a problem with the map. For instance, in New York, there is a city named New Rochelle that is going through a construction boom. From only having one tall building to having a whole skyline, the city has changed a lot in the past three years. However when I go to check the area out, the area is 1. Not in 3D and 2.Pretty dull and gray looking. Is it possible to fix that area? It’s a city of almost 100k and I think it deserves a map update. I also believe a map update every 5-10 months would be reasonable.

No longer user friendly. Online instructions: On your iPhone or iPad, open the Google Earth app . On the top left, tap Menu Feedback. I have the latest update and there is no “On the top left, tap Menu “ on my iPhone. I live in the US and we do not use the metric system and there is no “settings” provision to go to and make changes. I’ve used GE for many, many years and have used it for topology to avoid flood zones and to actually track what direction and where water moves around and away from my homes, impossible to do that anymore ie, 10+ years ago I used GE to know that our home is 27+ feet above sea level and should we have 100 year flooding rain system, I knew exactly what direction and where water that would go and - - - I was correct and this is important to me because my home is a mile and a half east of the Gulf of Mexico. I am very, very disappointed in GE, Google Earth.

Google earth. I recommend all people getting it because it’s useful for everyone you can see any address with it I request without it doesn’t go to desert but with it comfortable find your way especially if you are familiar with coordinates of a point you can save points with x-y-z and always save in your phone like global positionally system or gps civil engineer can plan road or railroad install on this app and specify place of bridge and culvert and can use it daily of coarse it has many abilities that when use it then understand all I hope all consumers appreciate it and I wish success all producers this app

Rating. Hi! This is my first time reviewing an app but her it goes… I thought that this app was amazing but it was a little hard to see buildings and landmarks or stuff like that when you are in 3D mode. If you wanted to see things clearly you had to onto street view. When I was looking at an island I wanted to see something’s that I loved about it but I couldn’t see them that well so I tried to go into street view but that island doesn’t hav any clear streets apparently so I couldn’t see any of the very cool things that the island had to share. Other than that this app is very amazing to use and I highly recommend it. If you haven’t used it yet I hope in the very near future you do!!

Recommended for geography nerds. This is a great app and I'd recommend getting it. Unfortunately, the whole world isn't 3d, but that makes sense for multiple reasons. For one, most of the non-3d areas are random countryside's or small towns, which makes sense, as it would take so much effort to turn a tiny little town in the middle of Canada to 3d, and it's not worth it. For two, places like China, Russia, and North Korea obviously aren't 3d because those countries dont give us permission to analyze there country at every angle thousands of times (for good reason). Overall, it's amazing, and I fully recommend it to any geography or history nerd. One thing that would be cool is adding a function where you could change the time of day. For example, you could set it to midnight setting, and everything would be dark and windows would be glowing. I don't know how the Google satellites work, so it might not even be possible to add a day/night setting with our current technology. Anyway, that's my review!

Slow, very, very slow updates. “Okay. Guys we got the data in for the whole world! Now we can sit on our butts for years and years and never have to update it”...said the boss at google earth a decade ago. I know it is free, but I have State Farm road atlases with the picture of a 1953 Buick on the cover that has more up to date maps than Google earth! Those were also free! Their competition is buying new images like crazy and have current maps/terrain. Perhaps GE just isn’t in the game any more and are letting this program wither and die when more folks like me discover it is full of ancient artifacts instead of a current set of images. I’m in the hinterlands of the fly over in the USA...Denver Colorado. Doubt if the GE staff can spell it let alone find it on their own program. The images I deal with are from three to seven YEARS old. Streets, many buildings, power lines, pipelines, public facilities have been built and in place for years in the suburban areas of this city. There are much more current images in Tibet and South America, Do not use this app if you are expecting to get current images. It is poor for that. One feature that might be helpful is to have a streamlined method to report obsolete images, or offer the ability to purchase new images of specific areas if Google cannot afford to update your area of interest.

Hey I just wanna say something about this app. Unfortunately people lately have been saying there’s many glitches and strange things found on this app (and I agree) but since then there hasn’t been a SINGLE glitch or bug or strange thing that I have ever seen on this app known as google earth or google maps (whatever) but I just don’t understand what the point of these bugs and glitches are. Many people have found these kinds of bugs but I just don’t get where they came from and why this app has a lot of bugs and glitches. I don’t Know maybe something really is wrong with this app. Well good thing those glitches are fixed because I would be terrified if I saw a glitch. Because usually bugs and glitches on this App are usually very disturbing and I agree with them. Otherwise this app is great and I hope u like it too :)

Excellent app. This app is made for a geography lover. It is an absolutely fantastic app. This app allows for some very high resolution images of buildings photographed from space. It also has voyager and knowledge cards which help you learn so much. It also has a random location button which can take you anywhere in the world. Finally, the best part is the measure feature. This thing is amazing. I have learned so much about the scale and true size of things using this. Additionally, Google Earth shows the Earth in it’s true spherical shape. This lets you see truly how much bigger or smaller things are than what you thought. Would give it 6 stars if I could.

Update some places like. So some of my relatives live upstate New York and since I’ll most likely never go up there I want to see there house, might be weird for others but I love them and I’m curious and I know we’ve all been there, anyway I want to see the house but the picture isn’t updated it shows on the arial view but when I click on street view the house isn’t there, I want to see there house and I want you guys to update lamplighter acres in fort Edward NY because I want to see them and there house if u could I’d appreciate it they got 3 or 4 circle roads in the community it’s not hard to drive around all of them, again I’d appreciate it if u could update it thank you for taking your time to read this be safe god bless you all

Deep night exploration. Once, on a blue moon night, I learned of a park that existed in New York. It looked small, so I sensed it would not be easy to find. However, I was aware that Mother and I were soon to travel to NYC to have ourselves a ball, so after a long time, I decided to travel to my favorite place: Google Earth. I entered in my desired location, and was transported to a lovely street containing rows of beautiful old brownstones, and many foliage. It took me forever to actually find this park, but eventually I did and decided I would do everything it took to go there. So I did, and I went there successfully, thanks to Google Earth showing me what streets to go on. Thank you. In the past I have also went to North Korea, Michigan, Illinois, Chautauqua, my own home, my friend’s home, and many other scintillating locations. I have traversed all over the world and become a beast mode hiker, thanks to this company. YOU HAVE LED ME TO THE PARK. THANKS BROSKI.

Love it, but does have some issues.. This app is really amazing, but there is a few things I have issues with. First, it is really outdated. Many of the pictures are from early 2000’s and a lot of stuff has been added to some places since then. Also, it can be really laggy, glitchy, and I do feel like such an impressively complex company such as Google has the tools to fix the lag, but chooses not to. I do however, really love it. For example, I love to write and draw, and this app allows me to use 3D imagery to study the places in which my stories may be set. It is also such a fun thing to use when bored, I love to just go to random places I will probably never be able to visit in reality. Overall, I do enjoy it very much, and would throughly recommend.

Disappointed. I am unable to use Earth on Chrome with my iPad. Every time I try I am prompted to download the Earth App. The app is only good for looking around. Even though the app contains some of the most breathtaking pics I’ve ever viewed, it’s not what I need. You should at the very least be able to make lines and be able to differentiate them by color, but nope you can’t even do that. Most people use their laptops, phones or tablets, certainly not desktops-unless they’re at work. I’m completely annoyed at the fact that I can’t continue my “project” at home on my iPad Pro. Now I have to find someone with a desktop or go to work (on my off day) to finish my Google Earth Project.

Update Photos. This is a very good app. I like being able to see different places around the world. One thing I would like to suggest is that you update your photos every once and a while. I know that you had to take tons of photos from all around the world in order to create this app, and that couldn’t have been easy, but construction and landscapes are changing, and places look different now. When I search my address, it comes up with a photo from years ago. We have greatly improved the way our house and yard look since then and I’m sure other people have too, so I just think it would be nice if you update your pictures every few years. Thanks!

Perfect for calling the police. So recently I got my phone stolen so I went on find my phone found out the location and then searched it on google earth and now I have exact location and definitions of what it looks like and if you are saying why could you just tell them where it is in the first place well that’s because that was the last location where it was located at so I bet it is his or hers house and I could send the police pictures for some extra hard cold evidence so thank you for creating this beautiful app. I give it five stars

Updates. I just want to say that I wish all the maps update there City New York has not updated london San Francisco losngls and more the building don’t change New York 3D buildings Are in 2018 this year it should be 2019 so as rest of the world 3D city and it’s not live and no upadates of the building years we have to wait and Washington DC has no 3 d buildings and I’m looking at the same 3D building in New York for a year or more and it should have live maps and the loading you get shots cause far away it dose not load so google earth please make New York City have new 3D building cause the time New York takes place in is 2018 so now the 3D buildings should be 2019 by now so google earth update the 3D city’s more ok

Why, oh why?!. I’d like to start by saying I haven’t used Google Earth in my classroom for awhile. But now I need it and I’m having to relearn where everything is hidden/renamed. This app used to be so easy to navigate and I could easily direct my kids to the places I wanted them to explore. Now, I’ve amassed a sheet of web links offering help - quite the waste of time when it could/should be in one place. (What happened to the downloadable pdf Guide? If it’s out there, I haven’t found it yet.) Near as I can tell, Random Search has become I’m Feeling Lucky. Really? Why is that necessary? Cutesy titles are not helpful, especially when teaching 2nd-language learners. I’m guessing that Editor’s Picks is now Voyager. The transition between computer (Toolbar at the top) and tablet (iPad, in my case - finding Toolbar equivalent is not an easy task) should be uniform in appearance and function. Aside from using grid lines and reading latitude/longitude locations from there, what happened to the gps locations that used to be at the bottom of the page? They’re still there on the home location. And on the tablet, how do you relaunch Earth short of closing it down and starting over? And if you’re logged in, it opens to the screen you left. 🤷‍♀️

New measuring is a nightmare. The new measuring system is terrible. They put the add point button DIRECTLY next to the done button (Which is stupid on its own) But to make it even worse: When you accidentally click the done button you cannot continue from where you left off. You have to start over (Yes completely. On the Help page it even says: “Edit your measurement. To measure again, on the right tap start new. Because you know thats how editing things work. You just start all over again) And if you’re measuring a large amount of space then its almost not worth retrying. The original version was INFINITELY better in every single way. Putting the done button directly next to the add point button and then making impossible to pick it back up is probably one the most ridiculous design flaws Ive seen in a very long time.

Couple updates please?. When I first found out about this was in first grade. My teacher has iPads and he has one for each of us. And there lied, Google Maps. I would love it! I would search up my name, my house, etc. so like a year later I decided to get it. A Little disappointed because their hasn’t been an update. Like I would now because my dad built a padio. And my friends house wasn’t built until 2019. And it hasn’t had an update since 3 years. I would LOVE for an update on the world. And, also please make it so you can see everything in real life when you want to see like a mall or something. Because I wanted to see what Ariana Grande’s house looks like but I couldn’t because she lived in like a town and I couldn’t go down this road. So I would like for you to do these things. It will probably take a while for you do go around the world (no duh).

Sorry to say but.. a few kinks... So I had and deleted one and a half year ago because I didn’t rlly think I would need it. So earlier yesterday ( today’s yesterday) I was getting bored and so I got this app again and I had to get the older version. So idk if that is related to this but.. every time I try to “ walk “ in the streets it lets me go little ways but then it stops working and takes me to my home screen :( Is it related to old version of google earth or maybe because I don’t have latest version of iPad? Could it be because my iPad is like five years old or is it just something that needs a bug fix update? Or can you not fix? I totally understand if you cannot fix though because I know you all work hard reading reviews and trying to fix any problems anyone has. Thx for all your hard work guys! Me appreciates it. Sincerely, INFO UNAVAILABLE

Questions. I’m not here to review this app but to question a writer. I just read a review titled I found some scary stuff. I read the review and then looked at the date that posted on. The Date was April 1 in other words April Fools’ Day so I had a few questions. Question 1. Was the review an April fools day prank? Question 2. What did you look up to find these scary things? If this is a prank why would you think of that out of all things because people in America see that and that scare some people that scared my brother that scared me so I just wanted to encourage you not to do that anymore! I think the app is good in some occasions I think that the app needs to be updated because I looked at my address and it was just a big pile of dirt so that was when they were building it I know the house is very new but it was a literal pile of dirt I think they need to update the app to make it better! Everything else I think is great so overall I think it is a great app!!!

SO COOLLLL but.... Sooooo I really love google maps, I love searching for places ive been and searching for them on google earth! But since it hasn’t been updated lately, when I look at my town- (it’s not really a town it’s smaller) It’s only 2 houses and a bunch of grass. Also other places aren’t updated for 2022. So what I suggest is- maybe updated the views every year? Because my small town has been like this for maybe more than year, and it still hasn’t been updated! And some churches I looked for aren’t updated either! My school and other schools look like they did about 3 years ago! So could you please update? Maybe update every year so that it’s better? That’d be great! Please respond back if you wanna! :)

Destination to Destination. I’ve used this app for near a decade. Previously I could type a city to city (near or close to those cities center) and see a driving route, without, putting in an exact address and get the driving time and get a close estimated miles. This now has been lost, what a shame. One needs to complete address’s on both ends in order to now get that driving and miles information. I would again like too be able to select just a city to city and get that information to adjust my driving and time required for a trip. Overall it is still a valued tool. However, little things lost as this, degrades a once positive app to a “So-So”.

You should download this app. I have been on this app for about 3 years and I really like it. If you want to see more places on earth then you will love this app. The only thing wrong with it is that the pictures are years old, but besides that this is a awesome app. It has street views. You could type your address on the search bar and depending on how new your house is you could see your house. You can even go inside the White House with street view you can’t go everywhere in the White House but it’s still really cool going in the White House and seeing pictures in their. You can see anywhere on earth.

Love this app but one question. So I downloaded this app because I wanted to take some virtual vacations and my friends and I ended up using this on FaceTime. I would ask them where they wanted to go and we would go there but I don’t understand why the image from my house hasn’t been updated since 2016 and everything else where I go has been updated Google Earth can you please fix this. Otherwise love this app would definitely recommend and it’s really fun to see all the places I go from the comfort of my own bed. And also sometimes street view glitches out a little bit but sometimes it makes her some funny fails thanks for reading!😝

Will not load/open. Using an iPad Pro google earth is stuck on the welcome screen and does not go any further. Clicked on the app support tab in the App Store and it takes you to a help forum for windows google earth Pro help. Useless for apple products. Really a shame googles so disorganized or just doesn’t care about low revenue users UPDATE: several hours later the app loaded as expected. Program ran fine, would be nice to have current or near current maps and photos, most data I saw was more than 3 yrs old. I’m thinking the startup/loading issue was not an app problem but a temporary google server issue they resolved. Still no troubleshooting info for Apple mobile users (at least none I could find) even with the issues, Google Earth is the best (free) global mapping app money can buy for the iPhone/iPad.

It’s great but…. This is a good app but it has some things I’d like to change as in like not all things are available and you don’t really get to go inside buildings if I could I would update this to where we are now and have all streets recorded,if we can’t have this possible because there is some protective lanes, well I know we can’t but,I would like most streets to be recorded. Either way this is a very good app I do suggest you get it there’s no ads or anything it’s not better than Google maps but I would suggest Google maps if you want specific street views, in specifically because there is some things in the world that I would tweak, as in, there’s not just two continents! But overall it is a very good app. 😊

Good job google. Based of of the other reviews, this app can be a bit glitchy and annoying but I don’t get much of that. There are some area that I wish were available in 3D but it does make sense. Like on a lake, the roads are a bit small and crowded so it would be harder to get to. Also it is a private community so that is completely understandable. I do wish that the website worked on a phone a bit but the app is good. There are some random blurred areas in random places which is annoying. Why is that patch of grass unacceptable to show? It is a bit weird when you go into street view and for a second it looks like a very low quality video game before it loads. Overall, a pretty good app. Keep up the work google.

I will be forever grateful. So today my mom is going to go to Jalapeño in my city so we can get a burrito because their burritos are good. So I looked up where Jalapeño is in my city and I memorized that spot. I am also in the mood for a smoothie and looked up Tropical Smoothie Cafe because their Bahama Mama is one of my favorite smoothies. I looked up both of them to see if they were even remotely near each other because if they were, I could get a smoothie. It turns out they’re right next to each other! Google Earth helped me figure out if I could get a smoothie and I am forever thankful for that. Now every time my mom goes out to Jalapeño I have a decent chance of her saying yes to getting tropical smoothie.

Nothing but bugs nowadays. This app means a lot to me. It lets me explore the world in a way that isn’t possible for me in real life, allowing me to zoom in and experience places all over the world which I may never get to visit in person. I’ve spent hours just scrolling around the planet, tracing meandering rivers and gliding over mountain ranges. It has made me see our planet in a whole new light, opening my eyes to all the beauty that it holds. However, as of late this app has been nothing but glitches and bugs. Every single time I open the app something goes wrong. Either the image quality will be so bad that the entire globe looks pixely even when fully zoomed out, or whole chunks of it will be black, or else it won’t display any locations or any other labeling. I can’t go for more than a half hour without something glitching out, and so far there seems to be no acknowledgement of these issues from Google. It’s unfortunate that Google is seemingly neglecting such a great app. I think it could be a great educational tool for people of any age group, but its potential is being squandered.

Here is a couple of do and don’ts for your apps. By the way, there’s a couple of suggestions, so let’s get this over I know that there’s one version that’s on like a computer maybe and it’s where of course it’s cool and you have to add the same thing to iPads and stuff because it helps and make sure to keep the closest of all things that are there there but fix the main thing but always make sure you can make sure what you’re doing is perfect and this is very cool and can you give me the hint of how to make maps like this style because it’s very cool and here’s the do’s take benefit on your update if it looks good, keep it but if it doesn’t look good, keep it for a couple weeks or so and then just that another update and so your app that you made it will make map momentum better so also, I know that there’s trouble loading when there’s no Internet but try to make this a no Internet app. Sorry if you can’t because it’s gotta be like that but I’ll get the rest of the stuff over with later.

Don't want/need Your Projects. Latest update adds “Your Projects” which many users don't want or need on an iPad and there's no option for removing this screen space stealing undesirable feature. Google needs to add an option for getting rid of unwanted options like Your Projects. In addition, GE needs to seriously update the images for the iPad as they are years out of date in most cases. The images in Google Maps, Satellite view, are reasonably up to date. If Google is the provider of both apps, one would expect both apps to have the most up to date images. Definitely not the case. So much for a “state of the art advanced technology” company. When reads the “Version History” time line, every update purports to “fixing bugs” yet the biggest bug always remains - out of date images.😠

Great game to look at the world with!. I rate this app a 5 star! It’s a great game to zoom in at the world sometimes I even see cars on parking lots! I also love how everything is 3D. Sometimes I even search up where my house is sometimes, I like to see if there’s anything new, like me playing outside. Sometimes I even just zoom in on random places like ant artica or Paris. Sometimes I even see people on the map! It’s a really cool app and please make more of these maps! Also- whoever might be reading this try zooming in on lake Harriet. The lake should have an airplane in it or maybe the wing. I assume they took out the airplane but accidentally left the wing in the lake.

Future is Here.. Not only 5-star app for iOS platform, but also for later viewing in Virtual Reality. Using the Insta360 camera, I can upload 360 photospheres to Google Earth/Streetview via the Google Streetview app. In the end, using the Google Earth App to view not just google content, but updated content by google users makes for an incredible end-user experience. This is also a 5-star review for the Google Earth program available in the Oculus App Store (free). Using a VR platform (e.g., Oculus Rift S), you can literally “walk” down a street with a 360 degree view as you go. Incredible technology. Future is here - check out the app in virtual reality if you have the opportunity.

most used app on my phone 💗. yes, you heard that right. Google Earth is a great way to explore new places when you’re at home, especially during the pandemic. it’s a great way to explore places that you probably will never go to. my only suggestion is a night version, because I would really like to see different places at night, especially Milwaukee, Wisconsin. but I won’t take a star off of this app since you would have to drive around the whole world to give us a night version. however, it is something you should consider. You should also update the street map because it’s old and it’s from 2018 and I live in a growing neighborhood.

Detail Update Please. Ive been a fan of google earth for a long time now. I recall that the first images used to allow the bottom of the ocean exploration with a smooth transition from land to sea. With the new updates and imagery, a lot of detail has been removed. I used to remember looking at land masses and seeing the trees and roads but the current images are now blurry blobs. Also the area surrounding and encompassing Antarctica is severely pathetic. We the people want the details and the Truth. Why is it that there are photoshop cuts and cloud clips, that are covering up detail of the landscape? Please fire the photoshop team and tell it like it is. What good is exploring the planet in virtual format if all you get is blurred images to hide those detail? I don’t use Google Earth much any more because it is a joke now. It makes me sad that all the big corporations want to keep people in the dark, never sharing what they find. Who are you to make that judgment on all of the population. What gives you the rite to hide valuable discoveries from us? And why? It just makes me sad that you were not raised with the truth and so you find ways to cover it up :(

Timetravel feature needed + ocean map. I really like google Earth, but I would love to see a time travel feature where you can see what has changed over the decades: buildings, roads, environment, etc. Also, I think the next step should definitely be mapping the oceans; you will have work for centuries, honestly. Lastly, I want to see higher resolution imaging. One thing that I currently like is the 3D feature especially when you first tap it and the camera does a cyclical camera pan; that's awesome! Although, I would like this to be available from multiple zoom levels. Also, how about quick-zoom level buttons: 1x, 2, 5x, 10x or altitude ranges. Google + Wikipedia would make a powerful resource for information ;)

Too much editing of world by Google. Many cars removed from streets and parking lots, advertising placed on trucks and other advertising deleted - we see only what Google puts on them…and where did all the people go??? Doesn't anyone notice that Google edits all the “photographs” from space to delete certain material they deem offensive? Why is the handicap rail by my sidewalk offensive; yes it was deleted - the bush was planted after the rail and it is there (and one side of the rail is evident (they were both put in the same day and after the bush.). And I know the truck in one parking lot, and that is not what the ad says on it…and yes, that is the truck - it has an assigned space. I know Google makes a lot of money, and needs more - but shouldn’t there be a warning that this product is “for entertainment only” and that photographs have been altered.

Out of Focus Garbage. I can’t express my disappointment enough!! I’m rating this one star because there is no zero to pick. Today’s Google Earth is a former shadow of itself in terms of image quality and resolution. I was a huge fan of the application a decade ago, but had not used it in quite a while. I just got a new iPad and installed it to take a nostalgic walk down memory lane, and I almost threw up. Most apps make an effort to improve over time, but this one has managed to regress. It has become a piece of out-of-focus garbage. I was so looking forward to visually traveling to another part of the world while we are under COVID restrictions and flying over a city and its streets I once knew so well, but all I found was a distorted mess compared to my former virtual visits. The graphics of streets and buildings are a bad cubic Minecraft experience. Can you use the app for middle school geography? Yes. But for really studying topography and detail? Don’t waste your time. Google Earth has lost its mojo in a major way.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!. This update makes absolutely no sense and is a perfect example for app developers of what NOT to do - don’t dramatically change an app that worked great for years unless the changes clearly benefit users! These changes are not improvements! Why make a huge “Your projects” tab that takes up screen real estate without even giving us the option to completely hide it? My guess is that most mobile Google Earth users don’t even use projects regularly… I certainly don’t. Now I have this annoying UI element constantly taking up a ton of space where it can accidentally get tapped. The slideshow for viewing photos is a complete downgrade because you can no longer zoom in on the pictures! The layers tab is cluttered. Searching now feels clunky. And what happened to the Voyager section where you could view different interactive pre-made stories like sea level rise, deforestation, etc?! There are a couple new features I appreciate, but they could’ve easily been incorporated without changing the UI completely! I’m happy they gave more control over custom layers, made Timelapse easy to use, and made a toggle to show areas with 3D coverage. However, these things don’t compensate for the nonsensical UI/UX changes. Do better Google!

Awesome Features, Awful Bugs. I love the new Projects tab - it's made keeping track of things I'm researching much easier now that I don't have to keep the material database and the name/info databases in separate apps. I'd give this feature 4/5 stars if I could, simply because the UI could be a tad better. The issue is that I can't use this feature because of numerous bugs that occur every time I have tried to open/work on a project since last week. I don't know if this issue is unique to me or my phone, but often the menu I'm in will stay on screen but my inputs will log on the map behind it. Other times, when I try to edit something, the menu will begin violently flashing on and off the screen or moving around. The only way to stop this is to restart the app, just for it or another bug to start again. Overall, the app is great and the new features are convenient and ambitious. However, they don't work at all. Please, I'm begging you, fix this.

A little out-dated. So, overall, really great app. I’m able to look at where I live, in the neighborhood. I love the street view as well. Theres only two things I would change about it. Ok, first of all, cmon. Like, those graphics man! Once, I was lookin at water pouring out of an inflatable pool (wow great time to take a picture Mr. Satellite XD) and it had corners and points and it almost looked like a rectangle...Secondly, it’s too out-dated. I’m literally looking at something from a year like 2014 when I’m almost in 2021! Overall, great app, just those two things and I would put in five stars. P.S. I know you guys don’t read these stupid reviews, but seriously, please give the app an update.

Looks Awful. I think what this app is doing is really cool with the whole see different places thing which is why I’m giving this 2 stars instead of 1. It looks horrendous, unless you are using street view, everything looks terrible, it looks like someone threw up after eating Taco Bell. And most of the time things you want to view aren’t on the street so you can’t even use street view. In my neighborhood I wanted to look at my school because it was remodeled in 2012 and I started going there in 2013 so I never got to see what it looked like before. My neighborhood pictures were from 2011 so the school wasn’t remodeled yet. So I went and looked and because it’s a school, there was no street view for what I wanted to see. All you could see was the front of the school. So I tried zooming in and low and behold. It looked so terrible. Don’t get this app

Stunning way to explore the globe. Absolutely love using Google Earth! The navigation is simple and intuitive, but still leaves a sense of wonder both at the technical marvel running in the background and the beauty of the world around us.

Amazing quality. They way that google actually made the photos that they took of every street is amazing and how perfectly you can see everything

An easy-coded suggestion. Hi! So, I was thinking... Wouldn’t it be cool if you could pinpoint locations and save them? That way, you could visit them instead of going through your search history or typing the address. It could be like a blue marker that signified a location, then you could easily find locations. Thank you, this is an amazing app. Kind Regards, Milo Cilo

Review please read!. Google earth maps and stuff is great with all its features but there is one thing I would like to see added back in that was there before. When I was younger and had an older (not much older tho) version of google earth I was able to go off track.. like get off the roads-walk around on the beach-and even on mountains.. but OFF ALL ROADS there was no limit, I could cross the ocean even. When I was younger I also was able to go to SeaWorld in google earth and walk around the rides, even under them, I could go anywhere! I played around sea world like that and it was so fun! I was very disappointed when I found you have to now stay on roads, please fix this and turn Google earth back, I would really appreciate it! Good app tho, please add it back! 😁😊😊🥺😜🤩 Thankyou, From Jess

Google earth is the bestest app. I downloaded this app a few ekes ago and needless to say it’s amazing, it’s like a mixture of google maps and a globe. Takes you anywhere in the world virtually, handy for schoolwork and geography

Update it please. Who ever goes around in the car and maps this map out needs to do it again because it is very out dated. Please, please redo the map so that it is current and up to date. Other then that problem it is good the image is great and the street names are always right, so that is good 👍.

Thanks for new update!. Thank you for the update in space...I like the new stars and now I’ve gotten back into my interest in space! But I have one issue with it, can we go to other planets? Can we even go to the moon? Can we even go to the sun? Please tell me if these features are in this app because I would love to go to the other objects in space.

Pretty helpful. Not only is google maps fun it can also be helpful on finding out where to go. Though I do wish that google maps could be closer updated but i do now that it is a hard job to do so. Thankyou😊

Not exactly the best. This app is great and all but it needs an update because everything is a bit foggy and well yeah it’s like two years ago photos so it’s not exactly the best because say something used to have solar panels and then they take them away you can just see photos from two years ago and they still have the solar panels so that’s been really annoying because am I am building a house at riddles Creek and it had a picture of the house being built but it’s already built

Good app but.... I really like this app but it’s annoying sometimes because if you try to use street view and you click on the blue dot sometimes it says that there’s no street view available when I’m clearly clicking on the dot.

PLEASE READ BEFORE GETTING APP. One line: Don’t get it. It’s alright, until you find that when you zoom out there are patches of the literal earth missing. Then you try to zoom in somewhere to try and look at a road, maybe, then find out that it is so blurry you can’t even make out a jet plane if it was parked where you were looking. I get that satellite images aren’t the greatest, but come on. You can do better than that!

I love google earth and my school uses it in geography. Like o said i love google earth and my school uses it in geography but theres a glitch where if you zoom in to far you have to get into google earth again and search up where to go

Update of the world. This app is amazing but it has one problem. All the places are old, could you try and update this app to what the world looks like right now (2019). The park in adelaide (Roy Marten Park) is fully built but when i look it up it is still renovating. If the updates of what the world would look like right now that would be 5 stars from me. If it is hard to make these changes u could make the changes every year? At least please make the google earth app seem like there is always a camera there and that it keeps up to date with the world. Thank you 😌

The new update. You told me that the new update would be ‘easier to use’. It hasn’t, it has made it worse. I hate it, the previous google earth was so much better. Although the previous google earth wasn’t perfect, it was still really good. It was just the little things that made the previous google earth so much better. Like when you could do the time lapse of the world thing. You could slide the time bar backwards and forwards. (On mobile at least, I don’t know if computers had it). I hope you improve google earth and return it to its former glory.

Google Earth review 1. Hi Google, I love Google Earth but can you please add historical images and places that google earth lets you look at multiple years back on iOS? Also, can you make access to more roads such as the newer ones? When will a new version be out?

Please improve. We are currently on a road trip and we had been planning our trip using google earth. However now that we are on the road with no laptop, the google earth app does not allow us to add locations to our projects. And when trying to use it via a safari browser on our phones, our only option is to download the app. It would be really helpful if an app update could include the feature where we are able to add pins and locations to a project, change the colour and icons of pins etc (exactly the same as when using google earth on a laptop).

It crashes. I’ve been using Google Earth for 6 months now. But theres one problem, Google Earth keeps crashing and exiting every minute. I hope you can fix the problem google!

Best app ever 🤑🤑 (not quite literally) stumble guys is lol. It is very good and it is better than google maps because it has more effects details and whatever the 3D version is cool and it’s just realistic

2.5 metre in accuracy.. May I suggest as a cyber security professional, you allow users to pin point their exact location for security. I am relying on accuracy of my location for National security. You are 2.5 metres out! If I share my location, I need to have faith in it’s precise accuracy!

I love it (allow quality review eh). Google maps is an amazing app with tones of different features, cool affects, and loads of places and ideas. I use the app for fun and sometimes for school work and study, I also use it for finding landmarks and buildings. I have updated the app multiple times and re downloaded it several times but the app won’t update to the newest version and all of my peers who have the app is all updated and mine won’t. Please help.

Out of date. The satellite image of our town is 5 years out of date. The street view about the same. I don’t expect that you would go to the expense of updating street views often but at least you could pull the latest satellite images. Makes it very hard to view a place you may be going to visit only to find the actual area has been dramatically changed. Sort of makes the app useless???

Keeps crashing. The app keeps crashing no matter how many times I delete it and refresh it. Very outdated. Our house hasn’t been updated in over 8 years, satellite image is also at least 2-3 years old which means when I go to use the measure app for upcoming renovations for the exterior, I can’t measure it due to extensions made more than 2 years ago which don’t show.

Update. Great app, but instead of adding bug fixes in the updates you could spend your time updating it each year, because I go to places I’ve been to and go “there’s meant to be something there, isn’t there?” Then I go again and I’m like” google earth needs to be updated!” What’s really annoying is seeing a satellite image in summer for one paddock and another in the middle of winter. Please update this way and I will re-download google earth

Update the map please. Can you please update the map because it’s been 7 years or so and it still doesn’t have an updated map. Apart from that it’s a 5 star.

After many years, still lacks basic information. The reason I give this app only 1 star is because Google is a gigantic company, capable of way better, and this product has been around many years and yet still lacks extremely basic functionality ... one such function in particular being the ability to add topographical altitude lines to maps. This is an extremely useful function, it’s one of the oldest mapping functions that exists, it’s been done on printed maps for I don’t know how many decades or centuries, and if one of the biggest tech companies on the planet can’t get that done with ease, then I think their only possible honest excuse is this: “we don’t want to give the general public certain useful information, because this app is not about empowering people, it’s about making money and keeping the public dumbed down and under control”, because no other excuse would make any sense at all, and yet even this excuse makes no sense since you’ve included latitude and longitude, so what possible other excuse could you have? Pull your heads out of your clackers Google, it’s a basic map function and it doesn’t appear to be in any of your products available to the general public, yet you program vastly more complex functions, so why not give us this extremely basic piece of data? How many years do you need to program something this simple? I’m seriously unimpressed. Smartest guys in the room, my ... ... and grrr.

Sidetracking fix?. Whenever I try to open Google Earth in the browser so I can add places to my projects, because for some reason you can’t do that in the app, it redirects me to the app, and I can’t go into the browser website. Please fix this issue, from Sam.

Please do this. Google can you pls make everything 3d and also can you add a time selector because the street view shows the past time because now it’s 2018 I will love google earth if this was added

Like. I like google earth but please can you update the street view pics, have had solar panels on my roof since about 2010 and there are new housing developments in the area but street views show about 2009 roughly era where as looking down is updated, would nice be updated all round re photos

What happened to mars and the moon?. 4 years ago, I used this and I could go and look at mars. I mean, the photos weren’t as detailed, but I could look at the stars and our Moon plus, I could also see planet Mars. What the heck happened? P.S. also, could you update your photos. Thnx

Would definitely give 5 stars if this was updated regularly. This used to be an amazing program which was updated regularly but seems like it doesn’t get updated at all definitely worth downloading but just needs to be updated at least once a year not once every 5 years happy to give 5 stars when this app and satellites pictures are updated

Google maps. Google map is a very good app to travel around the world and find out new things around the world u could go all around the world buy only going online just to do it I would give it 5 stars cause I love it and I also recommend it!

I love this app it is really fun just to explore but I think. The explorer should be like a human like not a real one just one in the app to like explore streets and stuff so you and can walk around because it’s Kinda annoying the way we have it now because it’s not that accurate where we want it To go!! Please do so it would really be a help!! Thanks so much!! Have a good day!

What’s this "My Project” thing?. And, more importantly, how can I get rid of it??? I see now that the only way I can measure distance is by going through My Project but I don’t want it and am annoyed by it popping up in the corner of the screen.

Google earth. So google earth isn’t the worst game but is definitely not the best game! It needs a big update or something, but I do like how this app contains many ways how to look at something. But it does get a little old after awhile. I am not certain if there is a way to see everything that’s is new, because when I went to look at something it looked completely different when I went to it. SO MAYBE UPDATE IT!!!!

Outdated and poor interaction. I live on the outskirts of a major city and our house has not been updated in about a decade . When I check your schedule it says “ Illawarra area” this year . The “ Illawarra area “ is huge and parts of the illawarra are updated almost every 12 months . Our street isn’t off the beaten track , in fact we are in the fastest growing area of the Illawarra , yet homes in our street which are very well established , some even on their first overhaul renovation since being built are still showing vacant blocks of land on your Google Earth app . Considering many finance companies and tradespeople use your app to do remote quotes and evaluations I find it poor form for you to have our homes looking like they did 10 years ago . I’ve tried leaving comments on your page , I tried reporting issue , I’ve tried everything but you guys just don’t respond or acknowledge my communications . So now it’s just frustrating and has left me of poor opinion of your app . It’s useless to me . I’ve read your forums , following the advice from your superusers just leaves everyone coming back in a big circle to the same result which is , “ sit and wait and hope they’ll be around one day .. OR go out and take a pic and try to upload it ... yeah na , sorry . Maybe when you realise that Kanahooka Australia 2530 is part of Earth then maybe I’ll consider coming back . Even Apple frequent the area more than you .

Needs updated street view and satellite view. 1 Example of outdated street and satellite view: the latest street view of the Hampton park shops still is from 2018. The old building has been demolished. Same with the satellite view. This is 1 example of how you are still not helping us see what the world looks like TODAY (JANUARY 2020).

Please turn back. When I was younger I had so much fun I but now u have to stay on the road can u turn back please I could go in volcanos and larva and I caught 3 robbers with it so can u please turn back I really want to explore stuff and places I can’t go to 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥰🥰🥰🥰🥺🥺🥺🥺 please turn back form Bay

Excellent but can be improved. It’s a free app and I actually use it. Would like to see an option to save searches for quick access (in the actual app but computer). Places I live/lived, favourite holiday destinations etc. Also would like to see VR improved. (And please please make an app for the Oculus Quest 2).

VR please. Can u add a vr mode and make it so you don’t need a controller if this is already a thing than I’m sorry but if it ain’t than just imagine being anywhere you want if your home sick or you really wanted to go somewhere but couldn’t afford to fly where.. especially due to covid and the boarders being closed☹️ than all of a sudden you discover that google earth just got a new update that you can go anywhere you want thanks to virtual reality (VR) please add this update to google earth I think it would be really cool and everyone would appreciate it thank you for taking the time in reading my suggestion

Longtitude. In the settings on the app, is longtitude really a word? Also, if I search a for a place and then realise I’ve put in the wrong address by say just one number or letter eg if I typed 142 instead of 143, I can’t click on the wrong address and hold down my finger to highlight and delete the wrong number and type in the right number. I have to type the whole address again. Otherwise I love Google Earth

Google Earth.. Fantastic,but old maps 2 years old(Perth)I've had solar panels on my roof 2 years now,but not on google maps,also former house 4 years old still has old shed in garden, should have swimming pool. Still no change. What’s going on.....?.. Latest upload = can now measure distance. Ha ha how do you fit a mouse on this !!!!!!!!! I’m stumped,?

Needs to be updated.... Hey creator!, I have a problem 😥the world needs to be updated it’s 2020 right now and I can’t even see my new house it was built 10 months ago and I can see it so can you pls update!🤩

Google earth. I give his app 4 stars because google earth is lots of fun. You can go anywhere really just with this app you have a lot of amazing destinations. Like imagine you wanted to go to japan and you couldn’t well you could just go on this app and boom you arrived in japan. In google earth there are also lots of great features that you can use like 3D! Mode you can look at something from a amazing angle.

Silly question. Does google earth get updated at all? Current areas are showing up as they were, give or take 15 years ago… Besides this small comment, it is crazy to see what we can accomplish these days …

Good and kinda laggy. I really like this but once I wanted to go to Tahiti I spawned there and I spawned UNDERGROUND and then I clicked the compass and I was all black and it looked like I’m inside a black sphere so please fix it and it’s good for looking at old houses past and once I spawn nearby a tortured dinghy and the photo takers legs were chopped of and looked half invisible and

Joseph pippo. Nice to see different parts of the world, from the comfort of your lounge chair, It would be nice if they gave access to the military satellites,with live feed, but the government of the work, decided to give us this little taste of what is out there, thanks! Imagine going back to I was in school, and having a smart phone, I’d would of been called a sorcerer.

Please can you do more updates on streets and placesP. If you could make like updates on street view because I would like to see my house that was just build a few moths ago in street view if you could that would make me happy :)

Very good but. There is a glitchy area in Chania, Crete, Greece. It’s really blurry and it’s rainbow colors and when I went to street view, everything looks normal. And there are a few more like the one in Russia and a few other places. So could you please try to fix it? Also I love this app, it’s great.

Pls update. This app is ABSOLUTELY amazing, I assure you. Except the game hasn’t been updated in about 20 years so could you please give it a go to update it? Plus I have tried to get to my house bajillions of times and it works. Except there’s a different car, plants, backyard and a whole heap of other things, so could you PLEASE update the game? Pls?

Google earth needs to have an update!. Google earth is a great app but it hasn’t been updated in about 10, 15 years. Since my house was built around 5 years ago and I’m not able to show my friends so they can find it when they visit. You also can’t go off of the roads anymore like you used to so. Google earth please update this app! -Kalea

Help.. Usually works fine. But suddenly the earth is blurred and street view is refusing to work?

FIX THIS APP. I have had to delete and re install this app like 15 times because sometimes when I open it it’s just a white ball…. Why?

Winter photos?. The winter photography of central and northern Ontario make this app useless!

Projects. I have NO interest in using Projects in the new update of the version. I looked for a way to disable or turn it off. But there doesn't appear to be a way. For me the projects feature makes Google Earth less appealing. It looks like they're aiming to appeal more to business or school oriented users than people who are just world travellers or someone who just has a general interest in world geography. Google please provide a way to disable the feature. Also, why we no longer able to zoom in on the photos that are uploaded? Again, a step backwards. ALSO, THERE IS NO WAY TO REMOVE YOUR SEARCH HISTORY WITHOUT DELETING THE APP.

Nut. I have autism and this is awesome 🥜

Fsj British Columbia needs update. We need n update for fsj British Columbia last time it was updated it was 4 or 5 years ago

Censored ?. Why are you guys censoring the ocean floor near land … where 95% of marine traffic takes place .. hey what is so important you don’t want people to see ?I know where you guys forgot to censor though .. 🗣…

???. Its lit

Something creepy in the app. I searched cartoon cat then I saw the place not the picture then I searched cartoon dog then I saw the picture even the place

Palestine. Palestine exist!!!

Large continent of Antarctica has been missed??(Antarctica). I will get one star company because they’re covering the truth area large as 14,200,000 km and no street view? Are they joking? It’s not funny! Please go against your corporate policy and have Antarctica available for the human race so they can see what’s there. The truth shall set you free.

It does need to update. I moved out of my house and there is pictures of my house before I was there

Great. To see what happened 3-4 yrs. ago🤦‍♂️

Absolute garbage. Slow and extremely old view of the street. Huge difference between the desktop and mobile versions. This is pure garbage

No historical imagery on mobile/web/updated versions. Get your ducks in a row Google, I'm tired of losing features. Historical imagery should have been integrated on mobile devices (any tablet at least) a long time ago.

Ok. Its ok, but can you please update ontario? Its been a while

Pretty good. You guys need a new update of the earth it’s all old we got new stuff now and stuff changed

Update it. Update this so we can see what everything looks like in either 2019 or 2020

Works okay. Can’t figure out how to do measurements, pc version has so much more and easier to use

Yay. Now I can go to Switzerland without having to leave the house during the coronavirus. Also my house is gone on Google Street View

Update!!!!. Northern Alberta Canada needs to be updated!!!!

False information. Do not falsify geography ... its name is Palestine, not Israel. This application telling false geographic information

I like it. I do like the app but there are some downsides. It is difficult to navigate and sometimes you don’t get the perspective points that you want, but over all very helpful!!

3D wasn’t great. Wouldn’t exactly call it 3D but it was really cool other wise

Cool. c’est vraiment cool

Kinda. Nice place to live actually

Needs lots of work. Google Earth needs to be debugged. I can’t tell you how annoying it is when the find my location button doesn’t work. It displays my location from when I opened the app and will not update my location when I press the button. Plus, it is an absolute huge battery hog. I dropped from 40% to 5% in 10 minutes. Not even! Also, the map, even when on WiFi and LTE, still requires 30-45 seconds for the street view to buffer. Now, a recommendation for you is that it should also set it up so that it syncs with maps so that all your places from google maps, are visible on google earth. Overall though, very powerful application and it just barely gets the job done. If your going to publish an app, do it right. These bugs have been here for a months. At the time, I had hoped that there was an update to fix it. Still waiting for that update!!!

Google earth. You really need to update this more often with the changes that happen regularly

update please. i would like a update of 2022 please because i wanna buy a big piece of land and see what i will have on my land

We need a new update as well. Come google what’s wrong with u guys we need a new update now it’s been the same for a while now I wanna see a new update of the land U guys make millions of dollars and can’t even make a simple update on ur maps

Update images!. Come on....these images are old! We put a pool in 3-4 years ago and cleared our property - but according to Google Earth, nope.

Love. Look on snap map then go one here and find out your crushes address and stalk them. Bam

Not bad. For a free app they did a great job

great but um. It’s 100% a 5-Star app, the problem is when I see my old house I see a wooden deck. Come ON! We took that old clunk out five years ago.

Ok. You really need an update! I can see a car in front of my mom and dads house that they haven’t had for years! And picture quality isn’t very good

Terrible updates. The two most recent updates, October and November 2023, have ruined this product. They removed so much functionality, complicated the user-interface and made it far less intuitive. Whoever came up with the idea of removing so many functions, hiding others and complicating the u/i should be fired…and so should the morons who approved those changes. And on top of all that they added functions that are useless and that nobody seems to want. The app really sucks now. Two months since the November 2023 update and my opinion has not changed. The last two updates in October and November 2023 really ruined what was a great and very helpful and fun app to use. The more I use it the more I find the new app is frustrating and a real pia to use.

To good. This is to cool

Good, hasn’t been updated.. It’s good but British Columbia hasn’t been updated in 5 years.

It’s 2021 update the app. Way too outdated

:]. I think it’s amazing! U should add info about the place thow that would be cool

Great app but..... Needs an update!!! Everything needs to be 3D especially Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Russia and more countries that are 2D right now.

Amazing! And it’s Ok!. This is an “OK” and “Awesome” App!, It helps me if Its the Right place or not! 😋

Review Rating. Not very user friendly. Doesn’t always send you to the exact address.

This is very nice!. I like it when you can see places you have never been to!🌍🌏🌎🌏🌍🌏🌎 But can you maybe update British Columbia?

*claps* U DID AMAZING MAKING DIS APP ITS BOOTIFUL. I use it for homework UwU

Bad google. Where is Palestine

Google earth sucks. Google earth is all distorted sucks big time.I tried everything to delete the app.but cant

Pretty Good. It pretty good but I really needs to me updated only complaint

Recycling. Works for 3 days then doesn’t load anything in. Re downloading it is the only way to fix.

Poor Border Visability. Why are all borders so difficult to see? A cynic would call this deliberate.

Great but every once in a while, it gets blurry satelite views.[IOS REVIEW]. Used this App for a while now, throughout that time, I encountered some bugs I was not satisfied with, these bugs would either make your globe not even earth anymore, what I mean by that is no color besides stars and a bright blue background, the other bug would blur regions from far view and in close view the blur is worse. even uninstalling and installing again these bugs are stubborn. I wish this bug could be fixed. But issues aside, use the App. its pretty great to use for geographical purposes.

Fix a little bugs. First of all I was looking at the earth and looking at some places until all of a sudden it crashes I tried it again and it crashes then it sometimes crashes freezes sometimes second of all when I was looking at South Korea I noticed that the ocean was keep glitching and the color was black so just letting you know google plz fix that and I’m still giving you a 5 star so yea plz fix it

Where did lat/long go?. I’ve been using Google Earth for years, both App and Desktop, but the latest update for the App is disappointing. I used to be able easily screen capture my location with the lat/long on the bottom of the screen (in Decimal Degrees). Now there is no lat/long unless you select your position and a tab pops up from the bottom, but it’s only in Degrees, Minutes, Seconds, and the Seconds aren’t even in hundredth, just whole numbers, so there is no accuracy. You can’t even change it to Decimal Degrees. Please put the lat/long at the bottom of your image for the next update - In Decimal Degrees.

Out of date. I would give this 5 stars but some of these images are from precovid for example port Canaveral doesn’t show the new carnival terminal and it would be nice if you could set the world to a time and explore what it looked like back then because this time travel over the land now is horrible it doesn’t give the picture time to load in it just shows a blur for 2015 when some pictures now were most likely taken with the same satellite so Google update the app PLEASE

No more tabs I can’t hide, please!. I don’t know why I would want or need a tab to constantly take up space rather than making it AT LEAST mostly transparent. Instead, I have this white blob that just sits at the bottom of my screen that I can’t get rid of. On top of that, it’s barely functional. For measuring distance, I can’t tap on the screen to add a point, I have to center it on the map and then click “add point.” I can’t delete or adjust points once I’ve made them, I need to delete every one until I get to the bad one or start over. I haven’t started anything with ‘projects’ feature yet, so I’ll assume functionality until I do.

Measuring got worse!. The new update made measuring distances much worse. 1. There’s no auto for switching between ft/mi only auto between m/km 2. The grey line is much harder to see. I wish it was always yellow, not just once a point is placed 3. The add point button is moved to the bottom left of the screen, far away from right hander’s thumbs. That should be moved to the right 4. There used to be warning vibrations when undo-ing a path. It would give you a warning vibration on your last 2 undos to warn you that you were about to completely erase the path 5. The points have a tendency to “drift”. This is the biggest problem the new app has and it isn’t just specific to measuring either. When lifting your finger off the screen, the frame moves strangely and unpredictably, causing measurements to be off. I’m guessing the app is picking up tiny movements of my finger sliding across the screen. It’s incredibly frustrating

Love the app but needs updates. I love this app especially because I used to use the experimental version of earth but one thing that bugs me is that it dose not update with new construction. Take the ark at long bay in South Carolina, they are building lol kinds of new houses but the view from earth still looks the same as it did 3 or 4 years ago. I’m not saying it should update with every little thing don but updating the houses and roads at least would be a plus. Overall great app and keep up the good work.

ADD A GO TO PAST FETURE. I have experienced all the countries and I’m starting to get bored i want a back to the past feature all the way to when the first country existed.. and show the flags of the country’s and the name shall be exalty the name it was at it’s time and also add war mode to see wars in action and if you don’t do it ima delete this game in a few months and I whould give this 5 stars so do it pls :after few years JUST DO IT edit: alright now I’m older then that, Why no past mode :( Also I’m sending this again so u can see it :edit that makes sense: I’m sorry, I was super young when I made that. The idea would be cool tho

I love this app, just two complaints. This app is AMAZING, but there is two issues. Whenever I go into the app it will sometimes not load at all and I have to delete and reinstall the app for it to work. The second issue is that when I turn it to the everything setting I have to turn it back to that setting EVERY time i open the app, I wish it would save your setting choice of what is on the map. Other than that I love this app!

Great app, but.... Google Earth is an incredible app! I love how you can explore the entire Earth and it's completely free to use! But there's a slight problem involving a glitch... While you're using the app, these large rectangles that are blue with stars as if they show outer space but the color of the sky appear on the Earth, and I think that glitch could use a fix. But it's amazing how an app was able to be made where you can see anything in the world, even with glitches! And I still think it's an amazing app!

I would personally like something. This is absolutely amazing but I personally want where when you set the year and click on the street view you can actually see that time with that street view. Of course some year won’t have the exact spot every date you put. Look I mean each year doesn’t always have to have a street view in one place because Y’know. But I would like when you set the year and click on street view it displays that time that I set. That’s all I’m asking.

Not perfect, but still amazing. I use this all the time, especially when reading the news. For instance, when the fighting in Tigray started, like most people I had never heard of the place, so I used Google Earth to see not only where it is, but the 3D geography and even a few photos. I wish it integrated with standard GIS shapefiles, could download KML points, and that it had the ability to scroll through imagery from the past. But heck, it's free and does a lot, so why gripe about it?

Such a cool app, but could be better. I love the power of this app. There are only a couple things I wish they would improve on. I would love to see the ability to pin locations in this that would then also be on my Google maps, or vice versa, see pins I've made in Google maps show up here. My other actually complaint is that if you leave the app for maybe only a minute and come back to it, it resets. Losing the location you left on. I use this app a lot researching places I plan to hike, and I'm constantly bouncing from app to app. It's incredibly annoying to have to figure out where I was every time it decides to reset.

An amazingly capable tool for entertainment, if it had been done correctly.. This is Google, who have the ability of allowing the creation of routes from one place to another on this app. Something that I argue we would expect from such an app. But they have not. I could go on about the lackluster UI and great sense of missing features, but I won’t. It’s still fun to flip through cities and navigate to planet with a pinch and a swipe, but they certainly pulled their punches on this one. Kind of sad seeing a company with their resources doing so little with them.

Date of image. I love the app but I can’t get a clear image of stuff on my mining claims nor can I tell when it was put there. Just a little better resolution and a flyover date would be so helpful. At present, I can’t tell if it is a tent or a travel trailer or a van parked on my claim. I have three gold mining claims and this would be so helpful to be able to see if someone was hi jacking me and approximately when, as I live over three and a half hours away from the closest one. I thank you in advance for anything you can do to help me with this matter... The rock breaker

I like it but there needs to be more 3d. I thinks the app is pretty good. I’ve been using it for about a year now, and I have fun measuring the countries. But there are just some things that need to change. First of all, the cities. Not all the cities are in 3d. This needs to change, because large cities like Moscow and Shanghai are literally flat. Second of all, the highways. If you look in Apple or Google maps, there are highways in almost every country. But here in Earth, highways are scarce outside of the US. Why? There should be highways everywhere else. So if this review gets to you, don’t just ignore it. Read it and make these changes.

This game is so cool. The reason I download is this game is because we play this game in school to learn about the earth more and just by clicking that little button with the person on it that says street view you can see different parts of the world from any angle this game is really cool but sometimes it’s really laggy when I first join and when I click street view the whole earth turns blue for a few minutes but other than that this game is pretty good

Very good earth. I’ve Got new season to play and play with you all the way you are and your family was the time of the year and the end to end up with this game I don’t have a game that I will be playing this time and it has to play me in a few minutes I play Minecraft it is super super cool and I love this game it makes it super super cool I play it and play the play play and it makes it a super fun super super cool game to kill all the game play it makes you want a good start up game you need to start a play game and it makes it fun and super cool and super super game super cool.

Cant save places or easily sync them from somewhere else. Im going on a trip with my family somewhere soon and recently saved a bunch of places on google earth on a public library computer, assuming it would auto save to my account bc usually google is awesome like that. so i download the app so i can see what i had previously saved and it turns out the only way you can do that is by going on the computer you saved them to and manually moving them. and!! not only that but you cant even start all over again because you cant even save places on the app at all! so if you just want to look around places with no way what-so-ever to save the info that you find, then this is the perfect app for you!

Slow, outdated, and awful software. I used to love google earth about two years ago, but after a new update, the whole thing went down hill. First, the satellite view of some places, for example San Francisco, was out dated by at least three years. Second, the new up date doesn’t include Wikipedia shortcuts, or simple explanatory anymore. And, you can’t turn the stuff off the settings that you don’t want, like let’s say you only want road feature on, well tough luck be cause it doesn’t allow that. Lastly, if you scroll around eventually at least on my tablet, the app closes and shuts off for no reason. This app has so much potential and it’s a shame that it is like this. I hope google can fix there problems soon.

Goggles are great. Goggles are great because they can help us this goggle was showing pretty pictures I love the pictures and I think I want to go and see them in real life so I know how pretty it is I am thinking about a lot of people will be going to there to see it because I’m sure that it is beautiful and it’s very great to see them again and again 👏👏👍👍👥👨‍👩‍👧👩‍👩‍👧👩‍👩‍👧👩‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👩‍👦‍👦👨‍👩‍👦‍👦👩‍👩‍👦‍👦👨‍👨‍👦‍👦👨‍👨‍👦‍👦 and some dogs will be there🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🦜🦜🦜🦜🦜🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🏎🚗🚲🛴🚘🛳⛴🚢🇵🇷🇵🇷🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸🇺🇸🇻🇳🇻🇳🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇫🇨🇫🇨🇳🇨🇳🇯🇪🇯🇪🇿🇲🇿🇲🇬🇮🇬🇮🇯🇴🇯🇴

Crashes. This is one of my favorite and most used apps but as on the past few days it crashes just after a few seconds and freezes up. I try to zoom into a town or city, and it never fully loads anything. It’s like it will only work for about 5 seconds and just stop. And sweet view hasn’t worked either On iPhone 8 so it’s not like I’m on an underpowered device. Used to work really well up until a few days ago. Just did the update and tried it a few times, no change. Still not working well, barely working at all Please fix

Amazing app but there’s one problem☹️. This app is amazing I really recommend getting it! But the thing is you only have a Birdseye view of the places you want to see you can’t see it like it’s right in front of you and when you Google your house it looks different from what it looked like a long time ago it’s gonna look like it looks like a long time ago is it is it gonna have a new upgrades that you put on your house. Say you Google the Eiffel tower you’re only seening what it looks like a long time ago not how it actually looks like today. That one comes really frustrates me😡! So that’s the one problem with this amazing app.😍😭

Please update your satellite images. I really like most of the features on this app. I really do. I think being able to measure from one place to another is wonderful. I think street view was a phenomenal idea. My major problem however has got to be the old satellite imagery. Some of the images used for street view are very old. I swear I found one that dated back to 2009. And most of the environment has changed making the old street view useless and incorrect. I lived in an area where they did construction and made new houses by them 3-4 years ago. Those houses are still yet to appear on the satellite imagery. Which really bugs me.

I preferred the previous version.. Personally I preferred the previous version for a couple reasons. The biggest reason being that the app would save the information in a cache from areas you previously viewed. This was extremely helpful for hiking and backpacking in areas where there is no signal. By viewing areas before I left I could fully use the app out of service. Now, without a signal, the app is useless in the backcountry. Another reason I prefer the old version is because of the panoramio photos. This was nice for areas that aren’t popular. Overall the app is satisfactory but I preferred the old app with the features I mentioned.

Needs a little work. This app is great, but it needs the present picture of the houses. Whenever I search up my address it shows my house but shows the cars that we had a long time ago. I also feel like the weather should change more often. I went on the app and it was 7:30 and it was dark out, but when I looked on the app it should all clear skies, middle of the day, all the nice clouds, but it would also look great in the night! All the building lights on and just watching the earth in the night!

Great app. It is a amazing app it feels like you can go anywhere in the world without actually having to go it even has fun games inside that you could roll dice and it would take you to a random place in the world that’s one of my favorites it’s really easy to use completely for free only thing about it is I wish updated updated more so then we would have pictures of right then but I understand that you can’t update every month so overall it’s amazing app

Great app just more of an inquiry. It’s a great app and I love using it but sometimes (this has happened to me twice) the whole Earth becomes white and I asked a friend who got it and was able to end the bug when he exited the app and re-entered. But I’ve had to delete the app twice and lose my search history and see this as an inconvenience. If any developers are reading this, please patch this bug or glitch. Thank you.

Desperately needs updated photos. I can pull up Google earth on my laptop and see very recent images of my home. And I live in the United States in a well populated area. But when I pull up Google earth on my phone, it shows images from 10 or more years ago. there has been quite a bit of construction in my area over the past 10 to 15 years and none of those buildings, none of those roads, none of that infrastructure is shown on my phone… But I can pull it up on my laptop? This review only gets three stores because the app seems to have been abandoned where it regards updated photos, and images.

Good game, just a few complaints…. Ok, first of all, Google Earth is So fun. -So Fun- And you may think “ Oh It’s fun? THEN WHY YOU HAVE 3 STARS?! HMM?!” Well I’ll tell you why. I love Cryptids, and I also am super into Ghost-Towns. One of those Ghost-Towns are Port-Lock Alaska. Maybe you’ve heard of It? So when I got Google Earth, i searched up Port-Lock, AND GUESS WHAT! I couldn’t get INTO Port-Lock!!!!! Come on!! Witch, I guess isn’t all so bad, but some other things is, when a road has the blue line thingy on it, and I press on it, it won’t let me. So, maybe fix that? Overall, Google Earth is an Amazing game, I completely recommend it. Great Job to the Makers!

Needs better offline visibility. Certain map/gps apps require a strong data signal to use them for travel. Being built into a smart phone makes sense in those cases. However, when downloading a third party app, I would hope for a more robust app that would allow usage, even in poor signal areas. You know, situations that require a map when cell signal is low or non existent? My family and I go for car rides every weekend and go out back roads into rural and desolate areas to see what we can see. Too often we have no or very limited cell signal and the native app can’t do anything for us. I reinstalled GE thinking it would pick up the slack but I just found out that without signal, it’s useless. It doesn’t want to load in unless there’s strong signal or WiFi connected. We would get lost with this! What’s the point? I remember when map/gps apps were more robust and had enough built in data that you didn’t need cell data to use them. With phone storage capacity on the rise, companies shouldn’t be afraid anymore to make a larger app that can be used standalone.

Incredible. What a beautiful app. It should become increasingly obvious through using this app that their is a God of this world, that God being the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This app allows you to travel the expanse of this earth from your living room and see the wonders God has truly created that is talked about in Genesis 1, where it says “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth...” To know God personally though, read his word — the Bible — download the app, and dive into his truth to know how you can have a personal relationship with the God who created what men can only marvel at.

Used to be a LOT better. In 2010 this website/app used to have accurate pictures instead of 3D looking maps. When I was a little girl I remember it used to be actual pictures of the earth so you can see places as if you were there in person. This is very inaccurate, Google Earth went backwards in time instead of forwards. I saw google maps the other day and maybe they switched the way it works between the both of them? Google maps is the older version of google earth and now google earth is some... 3D looking weird unrealistic.... I could keep going on but this is very very disappointing! Step it up again. What happened to the real/ realistic google earth??

One more feature?. You have really improved this app, it runs much smoother than before, and has great new features. But can I request something? I would love to see the ‘Sky View’ that is part of the desktop version. To be able to see the stars and galaxies from the sky view would make this app killer. I appreciate your consideration on that. And thanks for what you have already done with it.

New version saves waypoints.. The new version saves waypoints but it is awkward. The original altitude and angle are not needed, camera view is all-important. Waypoints should be saved into folders, and .kml and .kmz files should be able to be exported in emails. Those are missing essentials. The satellite views are annoying. Large streets sometimes have street names miles away, out of sight. Layers do not label public buildings where people want to go, they show weird stuff that seems cute. Neighborhood labels change frequently with obscure names that someone saw somewhere. The backend satellite view should be a lot better.

Good on a desktop, bad on mobile. I love using google earth to explore the world from the comfort of home so I can get an idea of which countries I want to add to my bucket list of places to visit, and the desktop version is perfect for that. But the mobile version is not very touch accurate. If two places are close together, they tend to overlap on the screen. And you tap on one to see photos of it or read about it, it inevitably thinks you’re tapping on the other no matter how much you try to angle your finger toward the place you’re actually trying to see. Which is extremely frustrating. You need the precision of a mouse curser for any sort of enjoyable experience on this application because it optimized well for a mobile, touchscreen experience.

Stopped using Google Earth. Update: Non existent support. They’re so unprofessional that they don’t respond to Apple app reviews. In my opinion, companies like that should have their products removed from the Apple App Store. —— I give...they'll never figure out how to design an "intelligent" user interface. I stopped using Google Earth a couple of months ago. The tab to unhide the place images at the bottom of the main display is too big and it should disappear when not touch for a few seconds. Then there are the four lines of copyright information that overlays the map at the bottom of the main display. You still cannot hide the GUI so you can see the the whole map without having to keep moving the map image around. By Google!

Amazing. I love this app to look at childhood home etc. it’s incredible. But what I’ve noticed lately is that my son ...he’s disabled and well this app has been amazing in the most unexpected way: you see he’s like driving around the neighborhood he goes from street to street ..like or he’s driving around town. To get gas groceries ..it’s awesome. Absolutely love love love this. I also got to show him where I grew up. Thank you google for this goes above and beyond seeing the world. ❤️❤️❤️

Watching what I do. I really liked this app a lot. It has great info and I relied on it to show parts of the world that I wanted to learn about. Today on Facebook someone mentioned a part of the world that I’m not familiar with, the Isle of Skye. I went to Google Earth and I hadn’t typed in more than the first two letters when it suggested Isle of Skye. Apparently it’s watching other apps I’m using and since it’s a Google app that info, no doubt, is now a part of the info it sends back to Google. I should have kept it off of my phone, I figured it was harmless because I only used it when I needed it, but apparently that’s not the case. What other private info is now in the Google data base, I have no idea. If you value your privacy, stay away. Caveat emptor, as they say. It’s gone now.

Please add updates to the street view. I love google earth for a long time but there just hasn’t been a new street view imagery!! I would also like a date and time feature to the street view!! Example I have been seeing current street view imagery for a month!! And I wonder what my city looked like backed in the day?? So I go to settings tap street view image history and scroll through the years. I tap the year I want my street view image to be. boom simple as that!!! Devices it’s available for iPhone/Mac Android/PC

Okaaaayy..... I used to love this app, and I still do- it’s just it’s not the same. I remember being able to go to the bottom of the ocean and summits of mountains, and now I can’t. Also, the land looks more like a simulator than a real view. Besides those things, I love the app. Especially the new exploring Option and the “I’m feeling lucky” option where they take you to random places over the world. Overall, it’s a great app and I use it often, especially since quarantine. I just wish it had better quality.

It’s okay. The app is okay when creating and viewing a personal tour on a computer, but on the iPad and iPhone there is no scalability. All the labels are giant and unreadable. Additionally, none of the images or information I added to each place in the tour appears when using the app. Zero scalability makes it useless for mobile users. Finally, as the author of the tour, I have no ability to control the user’s initial view. I’d prefer the map be clean of others labels, but every time someone else opens the tour, every blinding layer appears. Most of my users won’t know how to turn off all the confusing messy and giant labels. Really it’s not even okay.

Still bugs to work out.... Google Earth is a remarkable app in so many ways, but it still has some bugs that limit its usefulness. For example, if you are using an iPad in horizontal mode, the app has a glitch that causes the onscreen keyboard to display only half the keys when you are trying to search for a location, making it impossible to input the location. Still, it is a great tool for exploring both the region where you live and, particularly in the context of all the travel restrictions associated with the pandemic, countries and cities that you can’t visit right now but might want to see someday!

Update. I’ve always loved google earth, but you guys haven’t updated several street view photos for years... I looked right my by work on street view and the picture was taken way before I even started working there 4 years ago. And sometimes I’ll go to search for something and the search bar doesn’t even work. Same with clicking on places on the map, it’ll say ‘knowledge card unavailable’. Why? When it was just working 2 seconds ago... doesn’t make sense. I feel like google should have some of the best running apps but this one still needs a lot of work..

This new app version is awful!. Why change a good thing? The previous app version was just fine, now the coordinates won’t work when I try to cut n’ paste into other apps. Heck, the coordinates won’t work even if I cut n’ paste them back into the Google Earth app itself. Please fix this bug ASAP! Also, please give us users the ability to change the coordinates to decimal instead of the default they currently are. Oh, and one more thing.. the dropdown box in the lower left hand corner of the screen is really an annoying distraction as it covers up part of the screen during navigation. I sure hope you guys address these issues quickly because I use this app daily.

Love the app! Could use a couple of features.. The load speeds are awesome compared to loading things up on GE Pro on my PC. All of the learning features are pretty great too, and the 3D features are top quality! If I had any suggestions, I’d love to be able to take pictures of places from my phone and upload them into the Google Earth database directly from this app. Also, the Google Earth Pro program has an ability to see current weather patterns in action, and it would make this app even more amazing!

Update photos more often. And I don’t normally do reviews, but just had to say Google really needs to do area photo updates more often. I’ve lived in the same place for 15 years , and I bring my house up on the map it still shows the same vehicles from 15 years ago (that I no longer ) the empty lots that now have houses on them. My area of the world has grown a lot. New homes, stores, and even roads. You would think Google earth would update that, but, I guess Montana just isn’t as important as say New York. I’m going to delete the app again. I just won’t use an app that I don’t know for sure is going to give me accurate information. And as I know this is inaccurate. Again 15 years!!!!! Really????

Great App!. I believe this app is easily accessible for apple users as it is already on your device. I find this helpful because you do not have to take extra steps to download the app. The navigators voice corresponds with your siri voice which you can change. I overall like this app because it also is very easy to understand the audible directions. Also, it easily allows you to change routes and see the current traffic. I also like the appearance of the app! I would definitely recommend this app to a friend.

Horrible new update. The project bar at the bottom is obnoxious and always in the way. You can no longer zoom in on photos, which is ridiculous and needs to be fixed ASAP. I also don’t like not being able to see altitude and coordinates as I scroll around, now that the obnoxious project bar is filling up the bottom of the screen. It also seems to be buffering a lot more since the update. The search bar is a lot more unwieldy now too. There are a couple interesting new features, like being able to see what areas of the map have been recently updated, and what areas have 3D coverage, but these additions are completely overwhelmed by the unwieldy new interface. And i will repeat, PLEASE LET US ZOOM IN ON PHOTOS AGAIN!!!

To Busy to understand Not user friendly. For a traveler it shows way to much information and distracts you from using it like a map. That is to get around. I would turn off everything. I do not need to know where every gas station is or food store. I can get that from searching on Google Search. This way will not clutter up your screen. The map itself is good, except when you need to find a location. It will show you everything. This is good to use at night alone when thinking of where you want to go and what to see. But using it on the go is really aggravating. Use the map in Google Search for directions. But use Google Earth for a wide over view.
