Google has mailed out invitations for an Earth Day themed event in New York City this week.
According to www.express.co.uk, the California-based search company is expected to launch a new version of Google Earth.
For those who don’t know, Google Earth is a virtual globe that allows users to trawl satellite images of the planet’s surface.
Google Earth uses image resolutions that range between 15 metres to 15 centimetres.
Google included its Street View feature, which offers a panoramic view from eye-level of streets across the world, in Google Maps back in 2008.
The nifty feature was later rolled into Google Maps, which shares some functionality with Google Earth.
But that could all change.
