14 DAY TRIAL // Google Earth 6.2 was launched recently and it added quite a few new features or rather improvements. For one, all satellite imagery has been enhanced and now blends with its surrounding landscape to create one uniform and beautiful Earth.
Second, ocean terrain data has been improved with a big update that brings a lot more detail to many areas.
What better ways to celebrate and experience all of this than to share it with friends over Google+. As luck would have it, Google Earth 6.2 comes with Google+ integration as well.
"Millions of people use Google Earth to explore exotic islands, re-visit their childhood homes, and scout out day hikes. Are you one of them? If so, why not share your virtual travel with friends and family?," urges Google.
"We’ve already seen fantastic Google Earth land and cityscapes shared on Google+, not to mention solar systems, ocean topography, Street View scenes, weather forecasts, gigapixel photography and more. If you can find it in Google Earth, you can share it on Google+," it said.
Sharing on Google+ from Google Earth is rather straightforward. You have to be logged into your Google account, of course. Click on the "Sign in" button in the top right corner, provide your Google account details and you're set.
Then just click on the Share button that should now be visible and you'll be greeted by the familiar Google+ share box. A screenshot of whatever it is you're viewing in Google Earth will be attached and you can write your message, select the circles and share the view.
If you're a fan of Google Earth, you can also follow the dedicated Google+ page. What's more, if you think your screenshots are more artistic than the rest, you can use the #GoogleEarthSnapshot hashtag in your message and your pic may be included in the community album.
