Google Earth is one of the most comprehensive map system avaialable on the internbet where one can go down to minutest details of earth contours, layout and many other important information.


On 30th January, the Google Earth team announced adding more than 100,000 new tours and about a million photos in their favourite tour guide.

Here is how Google Earth team sums up the overhaul of the Google Earth:

"Today, we’re launching a major update to the popular tour guide [http://goo.gl/ie0AO] feature in Google Earth for desktop, iOS and Android. As you navigate in Earth, tour guide acts as a local exploration expert suggesting interesting places near the location you're visiting. Today's update adds over 100,000 new tours of popular sites, cities and places across 200 countries, as well as enhancements to existing tours."




"The new, richer tours combine 3D flyovers, Wikipedia snippets and – for the first time – place highlight and more than 1 million user-generated Panoramio photos in order to create an immersive and educational exploration of your favorite places. Each tour ends with a selection of photo thumbnails which were selected from Panoramio as the best representation of a given place. Clicking on one of the thumbnails enables a full screen photo experience."

The tour guide is now available for desktop and mobile versions of Google Earth 7.0 - no update required. Learn more about using the tour guide [http://goo.gl/ggZfm].

So enjoy the Google Earth with its many new additions, tours and photos.
