Experience more 3D Trees
Since we first launched 3D trees in Google Earth 6 last November, we’ve worked hard to bring this experience to more cities. We’re happy to announce that the latest group of cities with 3D trees include: New York, Philadelphia, Boston, London and multiple cities in the California Bay Area. This new 3D imagery brings a new perspective to your favorite historical buildings and parks. Explore the 3D trees in this video or turn on the 3D Trees layer to explore the new cities.

Explore more ocean seafloor terrain
Only a tiny fraction of our oceans have ever been explored. As a matter of fact, we know more about the surfaces of Mars and the Moon than we do about our own ocean floor. So in honor of World Oceans Day this month, we collaborated with Columbia University to add more ocean seafloor terrain to Google Earth than has ever been available before, enabling millions of people to explore our blue planet. Please visit the Google Lat Long blog for more information about this new data.

Brussels in 3D
Brussels is one of Europe’s best kept secrets. Now, you can discover the riches of Brussels in a virtual 3D visit with Google Earth. Several thousands 3D buildings have been added to the city’s map. You can now visit landmarks such as the Royal Palace, Parc du Cinquantenaire, and the Atomium in 3D. Watch a video tour or view in the Google Earth Gallery to enjoy the sights of Brussels for yourself right from the comfort of your home.

More Building Maker cities and a new competition

Map Maker workshop and competition
We recently hosted a series of Google Map Maker events in Rabat, Morocco, including a mapping workshop organized by official Map Maker advocates from Morocco. The objective of the event was to introduce Map Maker to new users and show that many Moroccans all over the world are helping to improve Google Maps through Map Maker. The event included demos and powerful mapper stories, and concluded by kicking off a week-long competition exclusively for attendees of the workshop.

New and Updated Imagery
This month we added new and updated imagery, including high-resolution aerial updates for the USA. Many countries also received high-resolution satellite updates, including Chile, Fiji, India, Nepal, Russia, Yemen and more. Take a look at these changes and many more in our update post here, or view this file directly in Google Earth. Don't forget you can use the View > Historical Imagery option to see imagery choices through the time slider.
