A new version of Google Earth will be presented next April 18, just 4 days before the celebration of the Earth day.
Google Earth used to be one of the most interesting tools to use online, as it offered users an easy way to explore different places on Earth or even view streets and other points of interest. However, in recent years, Earth was swallowed up by Maps, which became an impressive tool with multiple useful functions.
For now it is not clear what Google could plan for the day of the presentation, although considering that it is an event dedicated exclusively to this application, we will probably see some important news.
Most likely, the new tool will arrive completely renovated, maybe with faster graphics engines so that the photos load better or even some updated images through the company's vast number of satellites.
New features, more virtual reality content
Google Earth has always allowed users to perform different interesting activities that are not possible on Maps, such as the use of a flight simulator or visualizing the effects of global warming over time. In addition, it also allows users to dive under the sea or see historical images of a certain place.
Another novelty that the company could announce at its next event is the integration of more virtual reality elements.
Taking into account the company's announcement made a few months ago regarding Google Earth VR, which allows users to place a VR helmet and fly to different destinations around the world As a kind of Superman, chances are high that we will see more content focused on this functionality. For now, Google Earth VR only supports multiple predefined destinations, like the Amazon River, Manhattan or the Swiss Alps.
Unfortunately, this is all pure speculation for now, and all we can do is wait a few days, until April 18, when the company will unveil the new Google Earth for everyone.
