Google Earth is an innovative program offered by Google that combines satellite images, Google maps and Google Search into one application that allows you to explore the entire world. The software solution enables you to type in your address and the program will redirect you to the street, also showing you incredible images captured from the satellite.

Because the program contains such powerful features distributed with a free license, the company tries to improve it to consolidate the leader position in this category.
Today, Chikai Ohazama, Google Earth team, posted a message on the official blog to announce a new feature that will allow users to explore the Earth better, by viewing pictures and comments made by other members of the Google Earth community.

"The new Geographic Web layer we released today is one of those features. We've taken the rich data of Wikipedia, Panoramio, and the Google Earth Community and made a browsable layer in Google Earth. Now you can fly anywhere in the world and see what people have written about it, photographed, or posted.

I went hopping around from the southern tip of South America to the mosques in the Middle East to the Maldives Islands, immersed in a wealth of information, and I really felt like I was visiting each place through eyes of people who had been there. It was really engaging to compare, say, the Grand Canyon through the photos in Panoramio to the view from Google Earth, where I could follow the Colorado River through each," the Google employee said.

In fact, what exactly does this new feature offer? Well, let's suppose you want to explore Bucharest, the capital of Romania. As you can see in the picture added to the article, you can type Bucharest in the search box and the program will offer you a panoramic view of the city.

Then, you'll see some signs that will display some comments and pictures posted by other members. This way, you can learn more things about a specific location, without the need to search pictures on Google.
