How does Google Earth differentiate
from Google Maps in navigation,
historical imagery and 3D Models?
Navigation
Google Earth isn’t designed to help you navigate
from place to place. Instead, it’s more for exploring
the world on a broader scale.
Whereas Google Maps is specifically designed for
navigation giving you turn-by-turn, voice-guided
routing. By leveraging real-time traffic information,
you always get the fastest route to your destination
and you can use it for real-time updates on public
trans
Historical Imagery
Google Earth has over 24 million satellite
photos from the past 37 years. Overall, it gives
you 20+ zoom levels in Google Earth
Although Google Maps has satellite imagery
built into its platform, you don’t get as much
choice for which slice of time you want to view.
3D Models
When you zoom into any metropolitan
area, both Google Earth and Google Maps
display a mix of hyper-realistic textured
buildings and 3D models, but
Google Earth adds a bit more viewing
versatility such as tilting and planning
