Latest Google Earth

10 years ago

I want to put the latest Google Earth on Ipad.
Each time I think I am finding the right app, it says
'Download in Documents 2or Dropbox?'
Nothing is ever there!
The one that I did download, said 'play now', as if it was music??
Where can I find something not complicated for Ipad?
Thx

As you mentioned in your other thread, device specific minutiae is best pursued in the user guide, dedicated product forums, or by contacting the manufacturer's tech support service.

Since Google maps have been around I have never found the need to clutter up my hard drive with a large program like Google Earth. I am sure I get the same presentation with Maps as I did with Earth.

I do as Owbist mentioned, I use google maps and the street view options. I think the results of both are likely about the same age. for a different view and possibly more recent try the one by microsoft, for me it shows very different views than what I see on google. Was called microsoft virtual earth now called bing maps, you can just google that. When searching for homes to buy I used all of them. you should also take a look at flash earth it lets you switch between several of them including google earth and microsoft virtual earth Flash Earth Viewer

Maybe they just don't want the expense or efforts needed to update and maintain the software and all the data. How can they charge for something that they cant keep near current. System requirements: PC - Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 Mac - Mac OS X 10.6.0 or later

Are you talking about street view photo Lynn Marie? Either way, when I click on the little clock, nothing happens. I know that a previous street view photo was taken when my dd was in college and her roommate's car was left here during Christmas vacation. Now it's a summer photo from 2012. The last satellite view I remember was taken right after we had planted and watered the garden. When I made this post, the satellite view showed our old pickup, and today it has our new pickup, so it's really current. Edited to add: I just looked it up and it has to be Google Earth 5 or later. My laptop needs to go to the shop so I don't want to download it now, but will later.

"I am sure I get the same presentation with Maps as I did with Earth."

You don't use Earth but you're certain it's the same as Maps?

Countless images available in Earth are simply stunning. Maps is just maps. Very useful, especially with Streetview, but essentially just maps. The two are integrated - Earth is Maps and much more.

Earth's storage space requirements are modest. Any PC that doesn't have room for it needs a serious cleaning.

Yes, thanks for reminding me of all the beauty of Google Earth Snidely. I had forgotten that part as I rarely used it.

A perfect example of how we assume things from our own perspective, I need to mend my ways ;~)

Search using Bing: "Google Earth on Ipad" = 46.7 million hits.

--- And one doesn't have to love or hate Google or Earth, the company just continues to collect your information.

All websites "collect information", most especially search sites. Surfing and activity data is analyzed at macro levels for market and buying trends, demographics, ad sales and ad placement, etc.

Don't flatter yourself into thinking someone's dying to find out all about you personally, it isn't the case. There's no conspiracy, and "They" couldn't give a shoot about you.

As usual, you are about 1/2 awake.
