Google Earth lets you orbit the world in 3D right on your Android device.

Google Earth is making the headlines again these days and the last time I blogged about it was way back in 2011 when Google made the app available on Android tablets. There has been updates since then, but nothing noteworthy. This week Google released a major update of the app and its something.

I haven't used it yet, but based on the change log, all I can say for now is that it's definitely worth a look. As Google pointed out, Google Earth is a "major upgrade with brand new features." See the change log below and travel the world without leaving your home couch.
