Fly through Seattle and Denver with new 3D imagery on Google Earth for mobile
August 9, 2012
Less than two months ago, we announced
a new way
to fly through full metropolitan areas in 3D with
Google Earth
as a step in our quest to build the most comprehensive and accurate maps. We’ve
recently expanded
this new imagery to the latest iPads and iPhones, and today we’ve released new 3D imagery of Denver, Colorado and Seattle, Washington to help you better explore and tour both cities via your iOS and Android devices.
Having grown up in Colorado and visited Seattle several times, this is particularly exciting for me. Now I can head on over to
Safeco Field
, home of the Seattle Mariners, to revisit the diamond where I’ve watched games in the past.

Another great way to spend a day when visiting Seattle is walking along the shoreline, home of many iconic Seattle landmarks. Three of my favorite spots to visit are the Pike Place, the Seattle Public Library and of course, the Space Needle.
Downtown Seattle, Washington
A bit closer to home, it’s now possible to get a unique perspective on some local landmarks. For example, the amazing
Denver Art Museum
, with its seemingly impossible angles.

You can also head north to visit the Wells Fargo Center, which has inspired
debate
about what shape it presents. Is it a mailbox or a cash register? My vote is for mailbox.

We hope you enjoy these new additions to
Google Earth for mobile
. Being able to provide you with this comprehensive 3D experience is possible because of advanced image processing and the use of
45-degree aerial imagery
. If you don’t have the latest version of the Google Earth app for
iOS
or
Android
, be sure to update so you can check out this spectacular new 3D imagery!
