| Explore more, and faster than ever before | 2017-12-20 | The Earth is a big place, and with 196.9 million square miles to explore, we could all benefit from being able to explore more, faster. Today’s update lets you do just that. With Street View navigation, you can take in all the sights without ever leaving Street View mode. As long as an adjacent 360 photo exists, you’ll be able to stroll along the streets and roads as if you’re there. Additionally, we’ve worked hard to make changes that more efficiently use your bandwidth, resulting in faster load times. Over the holidays, check out medieval architecture in Sofia, fly over the monastery of El Escorial in Spain, or walk up the Selarón steps in |

| Bringing the whole wide world to virtual reality | 2016-11-16 | The world has so many beautiful and amazing places to visit. If we're lucky, we're able to travel and see a few of them.

And now, with more than two billion downloads, many have. Today, we are introducing Google Earth VR as our next step to help the world see the world. With Earth VR, you can fly over a city, stand at the top of the highest peaks, and even soar into space. Now, at 196.9 million square miles, we know the world is pretty big, so we’ve made it easy |
