Google Earth

Google earth maps and stuff is great with all its features but there is one thing I would like to see added back in that was there before. When I was younger and had an older (not much older tho) version of google earth I was able to go off track.. like get off the roads-walk around on the beach-and even on mountains.. but OFF ALL ROADS there was no limit, I could cross the ocean even. When I was younger I also was able to go to SeaWorld in google earth and walk around the rides, even under them, I could go anywhere! I played around sea world like that and it was so fun! I was very disappointed when I found you have to now stay on roads, please fix this and turn Google earth back, I would really appreciate it! Good app tho, please add it back! 😁😊😊🥺😜🤩 Thankyou, From Jess

I live on the outskirts of a major city and our house has not been updated in about a decade . When I check your schedule it says “ Illawarra area” this year . The “ Illawarra area “ is huge and parts of the illawarra are updated almost every 12 months . Our street isn’t off the beaten track , in fact we are in the fastest growing area of the Illawarra , yet homes in our street which are very well established , some even on their first overhaul renovation since being built are still showing vacant blocks of land on your Google Earth app . Considering many finance companies and tradespeople use your app to do remote quotes and evaluations I find it poor form for you to have our homes looking like they did 10 years ago . I’ve tried leaving comments on your page , I tried reporting issue , I’ve tried everything but you guys just don’t respond or acknowledge my communications . So now it’s just frustrating and has left me of poor opinion of your app . It’s useless to me . I’ve read your forums , following the advice from your superusers just leaves everyone coming back in a big circle to the same result which is , “ sit and wait and hope they’ll be around one day .. OR go out and take a pic and try to upload it ... yeah na , sorry . Maybe when you realise that Kanahooka Australia 2530 is part of Earth then maybe I’ll consider coming back . Even Apple frequent the area more than you .

Can u add a vr mode and make it so you don’t need a controller if this is already a thing than I’m sorry but if it ain’t than just imagine being anywhere you want if your home sick or you really wanted to go somewhere but couldn’t afford to fly where.. especially due to covid and the boarders being closed☹️ than all of a sudden you discover that google earth just got a new update that you can go anywhere you want thanks to virtual reality (VR) please add this update to google earth I think it would be really cool and everyone would appreciate it thank you for taking the time in reading my suggestion

Google Earth used to be good in that the satellite top down view’s image quality used to be actual real satellite pictures stitched together. The newest updates has given way to “fancy” 3D viewing even in satellite top down view (where it should be default 2D). The application of persistent computer generated 3D layering by google earth means when zooming into anything further than about 10KM (or zoom in on a particular area more than say 4 city blocks in area size using NYC for example) would result in a computer generated 3D image merged with or act as an overlay on top of the actual satellite imagery. E.g. The top of a tree when viewing in satellite mode or 2D top down view now looks like a tree out of sim city even if you’ve only zoomed to say an area size of a city block. The end effect is if you wanted to explore a city block from top down (not street view), google has sacrificed using real satellite imagery with some sort of combined satellite + computer generated 3D rendering which makes everything looks like a bad attempt at some sort of google earth VR demo.... Maybe that’s where they are planning to take google earth hence the persistent 3D rendering in google earth regardless of viewing mode or highest quality selected in app settings. Clearing cache etc. do not work either.

This app is amazing but it has one problem. All the places are old, could you try and update this app to what the world looks like right now (2019). The park in adelaide (Roy Marten Park) is fully built but when i look it up it is still renovating. If the updates of what the world would look like right now that would be 5 stars from me. If it is hard to make these changes u could make the changes every year? At least please make the google earth app seem like there is always a camera there and that it keeps up to date with the world. Thank you 😌
