Google’s brought out this funny video of a guy bumping into trees to advertise their latest version of Earth. A take on the introduction of 3D trees in Google Earth 6, the video ends with the warning ‘And watch out for those trees!’. Integrated Street View and conveniently viewable historical imagery also form part of the new additions, as announced by the official Google
Now users are not just restricted to a bird’s eye view of places with the newly integrated Street View that practically lets people tread their way from location to location with the Street View layer. Pegman’s been stationed by the navigation controls to accompany users on a virtual stroll through the streets. A click of the ‘exit’ button is all that’s required to soar back into an aerial view.The developers also claim to have ‘started planting’ trees in Google Earth, with more than 80 million trees sketched out in areas like Berlin, New York, San Francisco and Chicago among others. The 3D trees include detailed models of various species such as the cacoa tree, Japanese maple and the East African cordia. These additions can be viewed once the 3D buildings layer in activated in Google Earth.
Since Google has been working to model the earth’s endangered green cover with the Green Belt Movement in Africa, CONABIO on Mexico and the Amazon Conservation Team in Brazil through the Google Earth Outreach initiative. With the historical imagery feature, users can travel back and forth in time via the time control feature on the status bar that appears at the bottom of the screen.Google Earth 6 is already available for download through the official Google Earth site
