Google Earth has undergone a major change since it was presented for the first time twenty years ago. This platform, which started with satellite images, has gained a wider usage area with three -dimensional mapping, spatial data analysis and interactive navigation. Now, the fact that Google offers the opportunity to see the visuals of past years through the street view function of the street view is a new link of this transformation.
This feature, which has previously accessed only Google Maps users, is now available in Google Earth. Users will be able to directly observe physical changes over time with the street appearance. This provides a valuable source of archive for urban planning, architectural research or personal discoveries. The images are made up of periodic data recorded by past Google tools.
When it is evaluated with the support of historical satellite and air images brought last year, Google Earth now offers a much more comprehensive visual past. These images, which were previously available only in the Earth Pro desktop software, have become accessible in the web -based version. In this way, users can directly compare the transformations in the growth of the settlement, the change of green spaces, or the transformations in transport infrastructures.
Google is preparing to present environmental data with artificial intelligence -based analyzes
In addition to these innovations, Google has announced that it has developed new tools to provide environmental data analysis for Google Earth users. Data such as tree cover distribution, canopy area density and surface temperature will be presented in this context. Information such as urban heat distribution can be functional especially for local governments, researchers and environmental planners. New vehicles are expected to be available in weeks.
This data offered by Google allows not only a visualization, but also to monitor spatial changes and environmental tendencies. Especially for institutions seeking solutions in areas where the temperature increase is intensified, surface temperature data may open the door of wider analysis. When the images and data are evaluated together, it is possible to see not only the present but also the past and possible future.
Google Earth has become a platform where users can work with both visual and analytical data by going beyond being just a map application. These additions over time increase the use of the platform for different purposes for public, academy and individual users. The integration of street appearance and past images attracts attention as an important part of this versatile structure.
