Google Earth got a full makeover two years ago with support for modern web browsers and new apps. Google also rolled out the Voyager program with the new Earth, featuring stories from the BBC, The Jane Goodall Institute, and more. Now, the map-based storytelling tools used for the Voyager experiences are available to everyone in Google Earth on the web.
With the new creation tools, you can add custom placemarks, lines, and shapes to locations in Google Earth. The site also supports importing images and videos attached to these locations to help build your narrative. You can also collaborate with other people on the same project via Earth.
This is a very useful feature for creating virtual tours. It works well in Chrome but I noticed Google Earth still has issues with Chromium based browsers like Vivaldi. Despite that I also see Earth itself has greatly increased its 3D detail with signage on sides of buildings and individual bushes on mountains visible.
