You\u2019ll see Pegman (the little orange guy from Google Maps) on the right side of the program\u2019s interface, beside the navigation controls. To start using Street View on Google Earth, just do the same as in Google Maps: drag Pegman over the area of the map you want to visit, and Street View will be launched as usual.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3D Trees.<\/strong> Besides 3D buildings, Google Earth now supports three-dimensional trees to add even more realism to the environment. 3D trees prevent you from bumping into a tree when following Google Earth\u2019s walking directions, and keep the scenery from looking like an isolated desert in the middle of nowhere.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Improved Historical Imagery.<\/strong> The Historical Imagery feature, added in Google Earth\u2019s previous version, has been enhanced to make it clearer and simpler. Now every time there\u2019s older imagery available from the area you\u2019re browsing, Google Earth will display the date of the oldest images available in the status bar at the bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/google-earth.en.softonic.com\/https:\/\/google-earth.en.softonic.com\/download\">Download Google Earth 6 for free here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Earth has reached version 6.
