Google Earth is a free app that allows users to explore the entire world through satellite imagery. It also incorporates Google's 360° perspective called Street View. The app also includes guided tours of several famous landmarks.

Zooming in on specific cities in the Google Earth app will bring up YouTube videos filmed in that city. The orbit mode shows famous landmarks as they are seen from low-earth orbit for an entirely new experience.

Interactive stories Google calls Voyager helps users explore popular travel destinations. There are over 140 stories in 17 cities for the Voyager feature. Google Earth also includes access to a small selection of live cameras around the globe. Past live-streamed experiences include brown bears in Alaska and a guided tour of Macchu Picchu.

Fact-filled cards dubbed 'Knowledge Cards' tell users more about the places and landmarks they are visiting. Google's classic "I'm Feeling Lucky" button is alive and well in Google Earth, too. Hitting the button will take you to a random destination somewhere on Earth. Hitting the button again will whisk users away to a new location.
