Google Earth, the search engine's computer program that renders a 3D representation of Earth, finally received a major update.
In this photo illustration, an image of the Google logo is reflected in the eye of a young man on August 09, 2017, in London, England. Founded in 1995 by Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Google now makes hundreds of products used by billions of people across the globe, from YouTube and Android to Smartbox and Google Search.
Its latest enhancement allows it to become more accurate compared to its versions in the past years.
Aside from showing the Earth's cities and landscapes from numerous angles, Google Earth also allows its users to see how the planet evolved in the past years.
Before its Timelapse update, Google Earth could only show data until 2020. But, with the latest enhancement, the computer program now offers 2021 and 2022 data.
Google Earth Becomes More Accurate!
According to Extreme Tech's latest report, the Google Earth Timelapse enhancement offers new imagery from 2021 and 2022.
A man looks at a Google Earth map on a screen as Google Earth unveils the revamped version of the application on April 18, 2017, at an event at New York's Whitney Museum of Art. Google on Tuesday launched a re-imagined version of its free Earth mapping service, weaving in storytelling and artificial intelligence and freeing it from apps.

Thanks to this improvement, Google Earth now offers a more updated visibility into large-scale changes from the last few years.
This means that Google Earth now shows the Earth's landscape changes from 1984 until 2022.
Google Earth relies on the data gathered by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the U.S. Geological Survey, and the European Space Agency (ESA).
One of the most suggested locations to check on Google Earth Timelapse is the Egyptian deserts, as reported by Android Police.
Google Earth shows how these deserts' irrigation systems developed over the past years. Aside from Egypt, California's Lassen National Forest is also a great landscape to view.
