If you’re logged in, you’ll be able to save locations and searches, upload your own coordinates, and better keep track of your interactions with the software. This being a Google tool, you’ll be able to get more out of it if you sign in with a Google account. The arch-content creator that Google is, some of these interactive suggestions are truly charming and will definitely encourage you to stick around a while. Obviously, all the power of the internet adds a few features, so when you tire of navigating yourself, you can click through to the Voyager section (indicated by the little ship’s wheel icon) to let Google give you some suggestions, games, and hints that will allow you to get more out of the tool. The premise is simple - Google Earth is an online, 3D globe and you can use it for the exact purpose you might use a traditional globe - marveling at our planet, finding geographical locations, and getting a sense of the scale of the planet on which we live. It’s been around since 2001 and has seen many, many updates and a lot of new tech that make it the amazing tool it is today. Google Earth is a classic Google program that renders the Earth in 3D based on extensive satellite imagery.

Previously submitted Photo Path images, however, will continue being viewable within Google Maps.Despite a few problems, Google Earth is still totally amazing As 9to5Google notes, though, there will be no way to add Photo Paths anymore after Google completely shuts down the dedicated Street View app. You can also keep adding Photo Spheres within Maps and publishing 360-degree videos using Street View Studio. Street View will continue being a key Google Maps feature, so you can still virtually explore all the places the tech giant had documented with its cameras. Last year, the company also introduced Photo Paths, which lets you contribute a series of 2D photos for roads and locations that haven't been documented by a Street View car (or camel or sheep) in the past.

Available for both Android and iOS, it lets you upload your own spherical photos from your phone or from spherical cameras. Google announced that it was spinning off Street View into its own app back in 2015. Gouveia also told the publication that Google will pull Street View from app stores in the coming weeks. Spokesperson Madison Gouveia has confirmed to The Verge that the app truly is getting the ax.

In those notices, the tech giant is announcing that the Street View app is going away and that support will end on March 21st, 2023. Upon decompiling the latest version of the application for Android, 9to5Google found shutdown notices that the company has yet to publish. You can add the standalone Street View app to Google's growing product graveyard.
