Google Earth has just released Google Earth 6 into its interactive digital atlas. Now you can explore your childhood home, visit foreign countries or scope out your next vacation spot with greater realism.

Google Earth 6 brings greater realism in two ways. It integrates Street View and 3D trees for the first time. It’s also easier to browse through historical images as well.
Google Earth has traditionally only allowed users to fly over spaces to view the landscape and surrounding features. With the introduction of a full integrated street view, you can journey from East to West in a fully integrated street view experience, no flying over necessary.
Google Earth 6 also includes dozens of beautifully detailed 3D models of different types of trees, from the Japanese Maple to the East African Cordia. Trees are being virtually “planted” in Google Earth, with more than 80 million already placed in many popular destinations. To enjoy these leafy additions to Google Earth, make sure you turn on the 3D buildings layer on the left side panel.
