Google Earth has updated its iOS app with a couple of features. The redesigned app for iPhone and iPad includes the new interactive stories feature Voyager, 3D maps and more.
The Voyager feature shows interactive stories from places around the world with information about museums and landmarks. Google Earth now gets support for 64-bit iPhone and iPad CPUs thereby making it compatible to run on iOS 11. Moreover, the Google Earth app now gets new “Knowledge Cards,” which tell you facts and more details about places and landmarks that you are checking out. It also brings 3D View at the press of a 3D button to see any place from any angle.
Google has included multi-day itineraries for 17 cities under the Travel category, including “Paris with Kids” and “Beyond the Beaches of Rio de Janeiro.” Google said there are more than 140 stories in eight languages available.
There is a new “I’m feeling lucky” feature that allows Google to choose a random spot for you to explore. The Google Earth app was first updated for Android and web in April.
