Google Earth for Android has been available for a year. Now, a version of Google Earth has been created specifically for Android-powered tablets.
Announced on Thursday, the Google Earth update adds textured 3D buildings, Street View tours, an Action Bar for easier navigation and the ability to fly to a location, similar to the way the desktop Google Earth app works.
Here's how the Official Google Blog says the company adapted the smartphone version of Google Earth to tablets:
"Moving from a mobile phone to a tablet was like going from a regular movie theatre to IMAX. We took advantage of the larger screen size, including features like content pop-ups appearing within Earth view, so you can see more information without switching back and forth between pages."
