Google Earth iPhone App Updated

Tweet

Google have announced that they have released an updated version of their Google Earth iPhone App – which initially became available just over a year ago – which offers a host of additional features as well as boasting improved performance and enhanced icon selection functionality.

The second iteration of the Google Earth iPhone App, which, incidentally, is also compatible with the iPod Touch, now comes with a greater number of supported languages (31 languages are now supported, up from the previously supported 18), and as well as offering the aforementioned performance enhancements also supports custom maps created either by you or other users with the My Maps interface. This feature is, of course, particularly handy if you want to save a route you’ve taken should you wish to re-visit a certain location and is also especially useful should you wish to share routes or locations with friends and family.

Along with the above enhancements you can also factor in improved icon selection which, according to Google, means that “when you touch an icon, a small glow appears under your finger to let you know which icon you have picked.”

The new version of the Google Earth iPhone App is available to download as of now via Apple’s App Store and, just like with the first iteration, it won’t cost you a single dime.
