Software Overview
Google Earth is an app used to view satellite imagery, maps, terrain, and 3D buildings. It is the Android version of the popular Google Earth desktop version.
The app enables you to explore planet Earth through a variety of methods, whether it be zooming in on maps, flying through 3D cities, or viewing a structure from street level. Google Earth allows you to browse layers such as photos or Wikipedia to learn more about a specific place.
