Prior to Version 6, Street View was a largely separate entity. In the 2011 release, Street View is fully integrated into the 3D Earth view. Pegman (the navigation avatar) can now be dropped onto any highlighted road, instantly transitioning the viewport to a photo-realistic panorama. This merges the utility of Google Maps directly into the desktop application.

This paper provides a technical analysis of the freely available version of Google Earth (Version 6.0), released in early 2011. As the definitive "Geobrowser," this version marks a significant maturation in the integration of 3D terrain rendering, historical imagery, and browser integration ("Earth Plug-in"). We examine the software’s system architecture, new features—specifically integrated Street View and 3D tree rendering—and its viability as a tool for both public consumption and preliminary geospatial analysis. google earth download free 2011
