Google Earth for Android received an update today bringing it to version 6.2. In this updated version, users will be able to view real-time information such as flights, earthquakes, etc., thanks to a curated list of layers in the Earth Gallery. Users will also be able to share current views through Google+ and other social networks to let others know where they virtually are at any moment. Other features added in version 6.2 include:
It used to be that having Google Earth running on your mobile device was a testament of its awesomeness. We’ve since gotten used to seeing this GPU intensive wonder installed on most devices, but having the world in the palm of your hands, is still pretty damn awesome! For some users rocking Tegra 2 devices however, Google Earth has been somewhat of a flat experience. Apparently there have been some problems between Google Earth and the NVIDIA Tegra 2 chips, causing the app to constantly crash on devices like the Motorola XOOM and Galaxy Tab 10.1. You’d imagine how dissapointing it would be, not have the ability to fly around the world on your Galaxy Tab, and thus, Google has finally released an update to fix these issues.
