Google has updated its Google Earth Android app to version 7.1, bringing several important improvements, most notably the support for Street View.
If you want to explore the Earth from the street level, zoom into an area and the Pegman — the little yellow guy signifying the availability of Street View — will appear in the right hand corner. Drag and drop him into a street and you’ll jump right into Street View.
Other new features include an improved, streamlined interface. By clicking on the Earth logo in the top left corner you can enable various Google Earth layers, including 3D buildings, Wikipedia and Panoramio photos.
Finally, search and directions have also been improved, with directions now letting you visualize walk, bike and step-by-step transit routes in full 3D.
Google Earth for Android is available at Google Play.
