Google Earth for iOS today received a major update<\/a> that brings a collection of new features to the interactive mapping app, as well as introducing 64-bit app support so it can run on iOS 11 devices. Apple reminded developers over the summer<\/a> that once iOS 11 launches to the public, it will cease support of 32-bit apps altogether and only allow 64-bit apps and app updates to be submitted to the App Store.<\/p>\n

In its announcement, Google positioned the updated app as a way for users to discover new travel destinations. With the new add-ons, users will now be able to explore locations around the world with a 3D button that refocuses Google Maps and begins circling around a city chosen by the user, similar to Flyover in Apple Maps. All of the updates coming to iOS previously debuted on Android in April.<\/p>\n

Summer is one of my favorite seasons. It’s a time to travel with my family, for discovering new places and creating new memories. Google Earth is where I turn to for travel ideas. Just last month I was exploring Canada’s National Parks. Inspired by the beautiful outdoor imagery, I’m planning to hit the road with my wife and kids in a couple weeks, up the coast to Hoh Rain Forest in Washington, and then onward to beautiful Victoria, Canada, home of the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.<\/p>\n

And starting today, if you\u2019re an iOS user, you can download Google Earth and discover your next travel destination, too.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There’s also a new feature called “Voyager” that brings up interactive stories from places around the world with information like the best museums, parks, and landmarks broken down in categories including editor’s picks, travel, nature, culture, history, and education.<\/p>\n

To discover a random new destination on the planet, there’s a new dice rolling button that surfaces a new location for users to read up on each time it’s pressed. Google also added an in-app screenshot, or “Postcard,” feature that lets users take pictures of the locations they explore with the new 3D mode.<\/p>\n
