Earth View from Google Earth For Mac

Earth View from Google Earth is a simple Google Chrome add-on designed to bring incredible satellite photos featuring different areas of the world in a space that is usually quite dull: the new tab panel.

A new random image will be displayed whenever you launch a new tab, but you can choose to save the photo as a wallpaper, share the link with your friends, navigate to the respective location in Google Maps, and so on.

By default, the Chrome new tab panel is either blank or contains a list of the frequently visited websites. Once the Earth View from Google Earth is deployed to your Chrome installation, the same space is replaced by beautiful photos captured via satellite.

In the bottom right corner of the panel, you will be able to see a globe representation that pinpoints where has the photo been captured, and if you click on the icon, you get to navigate to the Google Maps service in a separate tab and continue exploring the area.

The Google Chrome new tab panel will also include a share button that helps you distribute the picture on your social media accounts (Twitter, Google+, and Facebook) but also enables you to extract the direct link to the image.

On the opposite side, the Google menu allows you to open the list of Google apps, switch to the default tab, visit the Earth View Gallery, or download the current image as a JPG file and make it your desktop wallpaper.

Last but not least, in the bottom area of the Chrome window you get to activate the recent imagery browser and review the latest 10 images displayed in your tabs. Of course, you can quickly bring any of them back to the tab panel.

Even though the Earth View from Google Earth icon is automatically placed next to the address bar, you can choose to hide it to gain more space: the add-on works in the background and makes its presence known only when opening a new tab.

In the end, Earth View from Google Earth enables you to randomly navigate the Earth View photo gallery and get exposed to beautiful new places while you go ahead with your daily routine.
